Sometimes when using the GUI on smaller models, the CPU display will jump. Do a couple of refreshes and see if the value drops somewhat.

Hello, Assuming your box is right sized for your network (a big " if" ) there' re some posts above a bug in certain IPS engine < 1.097 for MR6 patch2 that could be triggering this behaviour: could you post the output of CLI command, please?: " get system fortiguard-service status"

humm, it doesn' t apply then. When you run " diag sys top" , press ' c' in order to catch which process is eating your cpu; did you tried that and identified it?
