dspprf
Display Profiler—AXSM, AXSM-E, AXSM-32-T1E1-E, AXSM-XG
Use the dspprf command to launch a facility called the profiler. It collects and displays statistics from
resource usage. The resources include:
• Message queue
• Memory usage
• Memory chunks
Additionally, the dspprfhist command displays CPU usage.
Caution The profiler is a facility intended for developers at Cisco Systems. Because of the possibly large CPU
overhead involved with the profiler, using dspprf on an overloaded switch can have unpredictable and
unacceptable consequences. For example, it could overwhelm a marginally functioning switch. For this
reason, you should contact the TAC before using dspprf and never run it for exploratory or experimental
reasons. For a safer look at system resources, use the Resource Monitoring commands (cnfrmrsrc,
dsprmalms, dsprmrsrc, dsprmrsrcs, and dsprminfo) or the dspprfhist command.

Attributes
type This parameter determines the display option. For total display,
type a t. For an interval display, type an i.
category This parameter determines which resource to display.
• m: Type an “m” for task-based memory usage. “Task” is also
known as “process” in some other contexts, but they are
interchangeable in this environment because the OS is not
multi-threaded.
• n: Memory chunk.
• q: Message queue profiler information.
• r: System services interface SSI memory information.
Log: no State: active, standby, init Privilege: SERVICE_GP
