question on "show resource usage"

[Yong Peng]

Hi,

Hope you are doing great!

the "show resource usage" indicate the  resource usage of the security appliance or for each context.

I am wondering the below output:

FWSM# show resource usage

Resource              Current         Peak      Limit        Denied Context

SSH                         1            2          5             0 System

Syslogs [rate]           1573        65155  unlimited             0 System

Conns                   29937       192916  unlimited             0 System

Xlates                   6751       180865  unlimited             0 System

Hosts                    6218        65515  unlimited             0 System

Conns [rate]              665        32500  unlimited             0 System

Fixups [rate]             467         4617  unlimited             0 System

FWSM#

does it mean the FWSM is generating 1573 syslogs/second currently? and it used to generate 65155  syslog/second?

I don't believe the FWSM can generate 65155 syslogs per second....

does it mean anything else?

Thanks!

Hello,

The command can be use on single and multiple mode:

Example:

show resource usage context admin

Check this links for more information about this command:

Not sure if the syslogs are per second or what is interval, but yes, those are the amount of logs being generated.

Regards,

Felipe.
