I have a PMR open against a problem with the auto-adjusted polling interval
in 6.0.1 on AIX 4.3.3.  The polling interval doesn't adjust but remains at
15 minutes.  I was just informed that Tivoli level 3 has duplicated the
problem and an APAR is being created.  I'll post back when I have the APAR
number.

Michael,

In order to help isolate which NV process might be impacting your router,
you might want to turn off Discover New Nodes and Poll for Configuration
Changes under Options, Topology/Status Polling Intervals. This should limit
NetView's activity to status polling only (Readers, please correct me if I'm
wrong on this). Then reverse the process one function at a time to see which
one is causing the additional load. Based on your findings, the next step
would be to tune the parameters for that function to something that doesn't
load the router down. 

If this doesn't help ID the offending process, then either Michael Siebold's
suggestion is in order (debug SNMP on the router), or Sniff out NetView's
output to that router to see what particular poll is causing the damage.

Strange CPU usage on a CISCO Router.

I poll just 1 time a minute to recive just one MIB value (CPUbusy)
to check the CPU usage of the router.

Nearly periodically  every half houre the CPU usage go up to 70%.
Once or twice a day the CPU usage go up to 99% - 100% for 1 houre.

in this time, the router shows me 85% of CPU usage go to IP SNMP Process.

Its a CISCO 2500  with IOS 11.3

Is it possible that NetView with one Request a minute is resonsible
for this??? I cant belive. But ther is no other machine using
SNMP to acces the router. And the SNMP process thakes 85% of CPU.

I check the interfaces for SNMP trafic. It is close to zero.

What can I do????
