Is this bug cosmetic?

Does the descripting of this bug mean that it is pure cosmetic? I should just ignore SNORT utilization?

How do I find the top.log file? Anyone know of fixed version?

Yes, the bug described in CSCwe21037 is primarily cosmetic in nature. The main intention of this bug is to change the way the health monitor tracks Snort memory usage. You can safely ignore the Snort utilization value reported by the health monitor as it doesn't accurately represent the actual memory usage.

As for the fixed versions, this bug will be addressed in the upcoming Firepower versions 7.0.6, 7.2.5, and 7.4.0. I recommend using the "My notifications" option from the Cisco Software download page to receive notifications about these upcoming Firepower versions.

To find the top.log file, you can access it by connecting to the Firepower Management Center (FMC) or the Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) device via SSH. Once connected, you can navigate to the appropriate directory and view the top.log file. The exact location may vary depending on your specific setup, but it is typically found in /var/log/ or /var/log/snort/.

If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Best regards,

Cisco very rarely publishes excepted release dates but most likely we should see 7.0.6 and possibly 7.2.5 in the September 2023 time frame.

7.4.0 will be out a bit sooner but only applies to the new Firepower 4200 series. Everything else wanting 7.4.x will have to wait for 7.4.1 closer to the end of the calendar year 2023.
