[j-nsp] High CPU and interrupts

[Alex]

JUNOS calculates kernel and user CPU separately so what you want to monitor 
is idle CPU.
Idle CPU close to 0 (in single digits) over prolonged period is worth 
investigating.
AFAIK, the is no Juniper OID for 5min averaged CPU but you can always write 
an event script and populate jnxUtil MIB with numbers from "show chassis 
routing-engine" (note that only master RE CPU is displayed so for backup RE 
CPU you have to run the script on backup RE as well and somehow get the data 
from backup RE to master RE).
