CLI Reference

get system performance

get system performance

Use this command to display CPU usage, memory usage, average system load, and up time.

Normal idle load varies by hardware platform, firmware, and configured features. To determine your specific baseline for idle, configure your system completely, reboot, then view the system load. After at least 1 week of uptime with typical traffic volume, view the system load again to determine the normal non-idle baseline.

System load is the average of percentages relative to the maximum possible capability of this hardware/system platform. It includes:

  • Average system load
  • Number of HTTP daemon/proxy processes or children
  • Memory usage
  • Disk swap usage

Syntax

get system performance

Example

FortiADC-VM # get system performance

CPU usage: 2% used, 98% idle

Memory usage: 40% used

System Load: 0

Uptime: 12 days 23 hours 32 minutes
