Fortigate CPU Utilization Time

[Fortiben1]

Good day Fortipeeps,

I just want to ask if there's such command to get fortigate CPU utilization for specific time? For example diag sys top 2024-11-11. or that command does not exist.

Thank you!

Hi Fortiben1,

get sys perf status >> will give CPU status

Also from the System event logs it will give you the CPU stats every 5 mins

Hello Sir sjoshi,

Thank you for your help I tried it right now. I saw earlier 1 CPU core usage peaked at 70% but did not last for second as per graph (millisecond I guess). Tried to choose the 30 min option on the utilization but the spike did not show up.

If the CPU Spikes is for few secs monitoring script can be run to monitor the status of the device.

it will capture the output automatically.

Hello,

You can use the command ' diagnose sys mpstat <delay> <loops>' to monitor utilization over a period of time.  Delay is in seconds, loops is the number of times you want it to run.
