Syntax
show processes cpu [sorted | history]
Key points
- In five seconds: 25%/10%, the figure after the slash is interrupt load. The difference is process load.
- High interrupt load suggests packets are being switched by the CPU instead of hardware.
- Short spikes are common. Judge by whether the five-minute average stays high.
When it does not work
- High IP Input points to traffic punted to the CPU (ACL log entries, TTL expiry and similar).
- High SNMP ENGINE usually means the monitoring server polls too often.
