Memory utilization used by the current data plane among all allocated memory

JoHyeonJae — Mon, 21 Nov 2022 02:03:52 GMT

Hello all,

I was asked by the customer if there is a command to check the memory usage rate used in the current data plane among all allocated memories.  

And I found the following command, and is it correct that the config memory here means the entire memory?

> debug dataplane show cfg-memstat statistics

Thanks and Regards,

Hi @JoHyeonJae ,

This command will show the entire data plane memory usage. Are you also looking for the management plane?

Thank you for sharing your information.

For example, the Paloalto cpu utilization can be checked through GUI and cli commands, but is there a command that can determine how much memory is currently in use among the total memory based on the data plane?

Additionally, I found a related command. The link says that it is a command to check config memory, is this the memory usage rate used by the current data plane among all allocated memory?

Thanks,
