@BPry Yes i keep very close eye on my PA and usually the dataplane runs well below 10% and closer to 5% or below. Its a PA 3050 on OS 8.0.16 which I am in the works to upgrade to 9 once the apocalypse ends. I don't think it is the globalprotect traffic and I think your right that smb traffic may be the culprit but I am having a hard time finding the exact cause. Maybe it has to do with the way that the users are now accessing our file server I am not sure. I have spent alot of time looking at logs, at the ACC and I have a TAC ticket open. There are times when things look normal, like first thing this morning the DP was only 3%, it has now climbed to 33% and will soon be at 60% way higher than the norm and has been on this consistent trend upward since May 12 2020. If you know of anything else I should look at let me know
