Cisco ASA 5545-X Threat Defense High CPU

[Nikhil5]

Hi Guys,

We have Cisco ASA5545-X Threat Defense deployed in our infra and it is managed from the FMC.

We observed a continuous spike in the CPU and it stays at 100% all the time. Not sure why this kind of behavior. We checked from the CLI and there it doesn't show high CPU either any processes causing high CPU. 

Attaching snap from the FMC, please can someone help with it?

Are you using it as FTD or ASA with FP module.? FMC might report high CPU
in FP process while ASA processor is good cuz they are separate.

Thanks for your response.

We are using it as FTD -

Model: Cisco ASA5545-X Threat Defense (75) Version 6.2.3.15 (Build 39)

Understood. When this happens, generate troubleshooting file from system >
health monitor. You can attempt to read it after unzipping or open a tac
case.
