Viewing Resource Usage

From the system execution space, you can view the resource usage for each context and display the
system resource usage.
From the system execution space, view the resource usage for each context by entering the following
command:
hostname# show resource usage [context context_name | top n | all | summary | system]
[resource { resource_name | all} | detail] [counter counter_name [ count_threshold ]]
By default, all context usage is displayed; each context is listed separately.
Enter the top n keyword to show the contexts that are the top n users of the specified resource. You must
specify a single resource type, and not resource all, with this option.
The summary option shows all context usage combined.
The system option shows all context usage combined, but shows the system limits for resources instead
of the combined context limits.
For the resource resource_name, see
type command. Specify all (the default) for all types.
The detail option shows the resource usage of all resources, including those you cannot manage. For
example, you can view the number of TCP intercepts.
The counter counter_name is one of the following keywords:
•
•
•
•
The count_threshold sets the number above which resources are shown. The default is 1. If the usage of
the resource is below the number you set, then the resource is not shown. If you specify all for the
counter name, then the count_threshold applies to the current usage.
To show all resources, set the count_threshold to 0.

show resource allocation detail Fields
Description
The limit of the resource per context, as an absolute number. If you specified a
percentage in the class definition, the security appliance converts the percentage to
an absolute number for this display.
The total amount of the resource that is allocated across all contexts in the class.
The amount is an absolute number of concurrent instances or instances per second.
If the resource is unlimited, this display is blank.
The percentage of the total system resources that is allocated across all contexts in
the class. If the resource is unlimited, this display is blank. If the resource does not
have a system limit, then this column shows N/A.
current—Shows the active concurrent instances or the current rate of the resource.
denied—Shows the number of instances that were denied because they exceeded the resource limit
shown in the Limit column.
peak—Shows the peak concurrent instances, or the peak rate of the resource since the statistics were
last cleared, either using the clear resource usage command or because the device rebooted.
all—(Default) Shows all statistics.
