Description This article describes how to identify which is the CPU handling a process at a given time.
Scope FortiOS versions 6.2, 6.4, 7.0 and 7.2 GA releases.
Solution

Let's assume a user wants to identify which is physical CPU which is handling the OSPF process.

 

1) It is necessary to identify the process ID [PID] of OSPFd. In order to do use the command global command in case it is operated in VDOM environment:

 

# diagnose sys process pidof ospfd

182

 

From the above result, PID of ospfd is 182.

 

2) Then, the command fnsysctl cat /proc/<pid>/stat needs to be issued, it will replace the <pid> with the number generated on Step 1):

 

fnsysctl cat /proc/182/stat

 

182 (ospfd) S 178 178 178 0 -1 4202752 2204 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 5 -15 1 0 5928 213377024 1976 18446744073709551615 4194304 44303833 140736593983088 140736593982408 140663142887446 0 0 3676160 25216747 0 0 0 17 3 0 0 0 0 0

 

The sixth number to the end is the CPU which OSPFd is bound to, from the above example, the CPU is 3.

 

In case a user cannot remember the name of the process by heart, use this alternative global command:

 

fnsysctl ps

PID UID GID STATE CMD

228 0 0 S /bin/acd
229 0 0 S /bin/src-vis
230 0 0 S /bin/wf_monitor
231 0 0 S /bin/iotd

182 0 0 S /bin/ospfd
232 0 0 S /bin/ntpd
233 0 0 S /bin/sshd

 

The particular command generates a matrix of the running processes and the PIDs which associate with it.
