Enabling and disabling management module CPU
usage calculations
You can enable the router to perform usage averaging calculations on tasks handled by CPU on the management module. You can then
display usage averages for all tasks performed by the CPU on the management module for an interval of up to one hour. You can display
these statistics using the show cpu command.
NOTE
Typically, these statistics are used for debugging purposes.
By default, the performance of the calculations is disabled. When disabled, you can use the show cpu command without optional
parameters to display usage averages for all tasks performed by CPU on the management module.
NOTE
The cpu-usage command must be congured in order to poll the MP CPU
utilization.
To enable the usage averaging calculations, enter the following command at the global CONFIG level of the CLI.
device(config)# cpu-usage on
Syntax: cpu-usage on
To disable the usage averaging calculations, enter the following command at the global CONFIG level of the CLI.
device(config)# cpu-usage off
Syntax: cpu-usage o
Displaying CPU usage
Use the show cpu command to display usage averages for all tasks performed by the management module as shown in this example.
device# show cpu
... Usage average for all tasks in the last 1 seconds ...
