Description
This article explains details about the output of get system performance status.
Scope
FortiGate.
Solution
This article will use the following example output from the get system performance status command:

The 'CPU states' section before specific numbered CPUs (for example, 'CPU0 states') refers to average load per CPU core for the whole unit:
CPU states: 1% user 0% system 0% nice 99% idle 0% iowait 0% irq 0% softirq
'Freeable' memory in the following section refers to the amount of cached memory that can be freed. It is not included in either freed or used memory.
Memory: 3112532k total, 1018512k used (32.7%), 1863964k free (59.9%), 230056k freeable (7.4%)
The first value under 'Average network usage' refers to inbound traffic, while the second value refers to outbound traffic:
Average network usage: 99 / 9 kbps in 1 minute, 99 / 4 kbps in 10 minutes, 102 / 21 kbps in 30 minutes
Similarly, the first value under 'Maximal network usage' refers to inbound traffic while the second value refers to outbound traffic:
Maximal network usage: 144 / 37 kbps in 1 minute, 158 / 61 kbps in 10 minutes, 1069 / 4463 kbps in 30 minutes
The maximal network usage, maximal sessions, maximal session setup rate, maximal NPU sessions, and maximal nTurbo sessions fields were added in FortiOS 7.0.4 GA and 7.2.0 GA or higher.
