Hello IneRIT, The resource monitor will give you a brief history of the PAN firewall's Data-palane utilization. Shows the last minute, 60 minutes, 24 Hrs and 7 days averages of load on the Data-plane CPU. day ------------------ Per-day monitoring statistics hour------------------- Per-hour monitoring statistics minute ----------------Per-minute monitoring statistics second---------------- Per-second monitoring statistics week------------------- Per-week monitoring statistics But the load average concept will come for management-plane CPU utilization ( MP-CPU): load averages with three numbers that indicate how much load is on system and CPU. The load averages show the last minute, five minutes and fifteen minute averages of load on the MP ( I think so ). FYI: > show system resources top - 10:54:19 up 7 days, 23:07, 2 users, load average: 0.04, 0.02, 0.00 >>>>>>>>>>>>>> As per my understanding, from a general microprocessor concept: CPU time: If one process is running with complete demand on a processor, it is said to contribute 1.00 to the load average. Two processes demanding full time, when run evenly on two processors (or cores), would contribute 2.00 to the load average. I/O time: Any process currently requesting read or write to a block device (such as a hard disk) increases the load by 1.00 while the I/O is being requested. If a process is waiting on a read(), and the kernel has not returned, (Eg. hang while in read) the load average could show high while the CPU is relatively idle. This will still reflect a high load average based on the I/O demand even though the rest of the system can be reasonably responsive. Thanks
