High interface utilization is not an issue in itself, and may be natural as the monitoring nodes often are collecting quite a lot of data. Can you see any relevant errors on the dashboard? Are you experiencing any specific issue related to this?

Hi @poornakumar ,

 MnT is the Reporting and Logging Node ... all PSNs sends their logging data to the MnT Node.

Use the following command to check the MnT Load Average:

ise/admin# tech top
  top - 13:53:26 up 8 days, 17:06, 2 users, load average: 24.52, 25.53, 24.67
  ...

and the following command to check the Number of Process:

ise/admin# show application status ise
  ISE PROCESS NAME        STATE    PROCESS ID 
  --------------------------------------------------------------------
  ... 
  Database Server         running  372 PROCESSES
  ...

Note: also take a look at ISE - Slow Replication Error, special attention to the "Hardware Section" !!!

Hope this helps !!!
