2Dears,
i have PA-220 with running 10.0.x, version I am observing the management CPU is constantly reach up to high 100%. when I check the system resources the PAN_TASK process is always taking high CPU utilization up to 100%.
I downgrade the firewall is 9.1.4 and 9.1.9 but the same issue is happening,
As well as I checked while committing the PA is taking around 5 minutes to complete the process.
As for the troubleshooting part, I checked. only 50 sessions count in a firewall and no decryption. no security profile. no PBF. no user ID. configured.
Can anyone tell me how to reduce the management plane?

Hi @Jafar_Hussain ,
You don't need to worry about pan_task. It's expected behaviour that this process runs at 100%.
Check out the recent blog on this exact topic:
why-pan-task-is-at-100-and-why-you-shouldn-t-worry-about-it
You will also find several links there on how to reduce high MP CPU.
Cheers !

Hi @Jafar_Hussain ,
5minutes might seem long ... but to be honest the PA-220 isn't famous for its fast commit or boot times 😄
Cheers,

Performance impact: Large
Configure your system so that the entire database fits in main memory. The use of virtual memory substantially decreases performance. The database or working set does not fit if a performance monitoring tool shows excessive paging or virtual memory activity.
