Description
This article describes on how to check the various process daemons and how to kill the related daemons from the GUI without usage of CLI commands.
Scope
FortiOS versions v7.0 and v7.2.
Solution
Go to top right corner and select the username shown as below:
Select System -> Process Monitor.
It is possible to see the daemons in use and possible to check the amount of CPU and memory consumed by individual process.
In order to kill any process, right click on the respective daemon then select Kill Process then 3 options will be shown:
- Kill: This is the standard kill and it will show one line crash when checked in the crashlog.
- Force Kill: This option works same as the kill signal 9. This can be viewed in the crash log.
- Kill & Trace: This option works same as the kill signal 11. This will give detailed crashlog information required for further analysis and a sample of the same is shown below:
