Description
This article describes how to use the ' diagnose sys top-mem' command from the CLI prompt.
Scope
FortiGate.
Solution
This command displays processes with the most used memory (default 5 processes).
This command is very helpful in identifying the top processes that consume the most memory, especially when the FortiGate is in conserve mode or has a higher memory usage.
Example output:
diag sys top-mem
node (165): 44189kB
forticron (173): 29644kB
ipshelper (227): 24577kB
cmdbsvr (142): 20290kB
miglogd (182): 12413kB
Top-5 memory used: 131113kB
diag sys top-mem 10
node (165): 44861kB
forticron (173): 29612kB
ipshelper (227): 24742kB
cmdbsvr (142): 20263kB
miglogd (182): 12405kB
cw_acd (210): 10705kB
miglogd (245): 7202kB
forticldd (174): 7042kB
dnsproxy (225): 6951kB
nsm (149): 6461kB
Top-10 memory used: 170244kB
The command understands different parameters.
diagnose sys top-mem
[process-count] Number of processes to include info for (default 5).
detail Display per-process memory info along with details (default 5 processes).
To list only the top 5 processes using most memory:
diagnose sys top-mem 99
To list more details for each process use the 'detail' parameter:
diagnose sys top-mem detail
To list more details and specify the number of processes to list:
diagnose sys top-mem detail 99
