Viewing Task Utilization Statistics

The taskstat command displays the task utilization statistics of the switch. To display the task
utilization statistics, enter
taskstat <task-number> <sample-period>
at the system prompt. The <task-number> is an optional number of tasks and the
<sample-period> is an optional sample period of 1 to 60 seconds. You must enter the
<task-number> if you want to enter the <sample-period>.
The default number for <task-number> is 5 and the default sample period for <sample-period>
is 5 seconds. To display the task utilizations statistics for 10 tasks over a 20-second period, for
example, enter
taskstat 10 20
at the system prompt. A screen similar to the following will display.

utilization. You may use the taskstat 0 command if you want to list utilization statistics for all
the tasks executed by the switch.
The taskshow command displays a table listing all tasks and their priority, status and memory
allocation. A partial table is shown here.
