CPU% per minute (last 60 minutes)
* = maximum CPU% # = average CPU%
!--- 72-hour output omitted
The top two rows, read vertically, display the highest percentage of CPU utilization recorded during the
time increment. In this example, the CPU utilization for the last minute recorded is 66 percent. The
device may have reached 66 percent only once during that minute, or it may have reached 66 percent
multiple times. The device records only the peak reached during the time increment and the average over
the course of that increment.
The following is sample output from the show processes cpu command that shows an ARP probe
process:
