Task Monitor—Collecting Processor Data

The task monitor feature allows you to enable or disable the collection of processor utilization data. The task-monitor cpu command is equivalent to the existing debug mode command “taskusage -d”. (The taskUsageShow command is available as well.)

When the task-monitorcommand is enabled, the show cpu command summarizes the processor usage by protocol and system functions.

Syntax: [no] task-monitor cpu

Allows the collection of processor utilization data. Only manager logins can execute this command. The settings are not persistent, that is, there are no changes to the configura- tion.

Default: Disabled
