Adding to what @Mohammed al Baqari correctly noted, think of ASA with Firepower service module as two distinct VMs each with hardware resource reservation running on a hypervisor. Each has its own dedicated compute and memory and they do not affect each other. ASA sends traffic for the module via an internal dataplane interface and gets it back similarly. If the module makes a verdict to deny the traffic it sends that to the ASA - also via the dataplane.

A customer with many SFR Sites often has high Cpu alerts. I'd like to check a couple of sites during high Cpu and see if I can prove it is the same traffic, ie windows updates etc.
I can find the process causing it, but how could I confirm what traffic flow is causing it? Other than timestamps and then questions to the Windows team
