This article describes how to view the usage of per-core CPU. |
| Scope | FortiGate 7.0 and above. |
| Solution |
If hardware has multiple CPU cores, then usage of each core can be viewed via the GUI dashboard. On the top left corner, go to Dashboard -> Status -> CPU widget. Hover the mouse on the vertical line then each CPU core usage display.
Further to view the percentage and timing, then 'right-click' on the CPU widget, 'Show per core CPU usage', and the 'process monitor' option appears.
Select 'Show per core CPU usage' to view the per CPU usage.
Further process usage for CPU and memory can be viewed by selecting 'process monitor' from the same page.
It is important to note that this monitor has the same behavior as 'diag sys top', where the CPU percentage may not be entirely accurate. The percentage used is actually the use in userspace, which may not accurately reflect what is causing the CPU usage to be high. |
