Management CPU Utilization is 100%

L1 Bithead

Our PA-500 management utlization reaches 100% sometimes...according to PA support, There's a process called 'gdindex.sh' runs every 15 minutes for log indexing.

We need to reduce the management plane traffic for better performance. Any suggestions?

I think there was probably a typo from support, it's most likely "genindex.sh" which runs every 15 minutes to create summary reports. There's quite a bit you can do to reduce some of those. Here's a good article on some steps that can help:

The last part talks specifically about the reports, but the whole article is pretty helpful.
