cpu usage Firepower/ASA

[gaigl]

Hi,

I've got a question about cpu-usage of our Firepower as VPN Gateway:

snmp-monitoring (cacti) shows quite high cpu-usage (highest values 70-80%)

on the "Homepage" of the Firepower I see similar values:

at same time on the ASA I see:

could you tell me, what values I should care of?

thank you

This is more of a cosmetic error in asa when running on FTD appliance. as it always show the high cpu

it's normal to see high CPU utilization for the LINA (ASA) engine when running on a Firepower appliance. It's an artifiact of how the traffic is processed in the system architecture.
