Measures reported by AsaCpuTest
The AsaCpuTest enables administrators to figure out how CPU hungry the ASA device is. If the device is found to consume CPU resources excessively, then, this test will also help administrators determine when exactly during the last 5 minutes did CPU usage peak; this revelation will help them troubleshoot CPU spikes better.
The measures
made by this test are as
follows:
| Measurement |
Description |
Measurement
Unit |
Interpretation |
| Last_5sec_busy |
Indicates the percentage of time during the last 5 seconds the device was using the CPU.
|
Percent |
By comparing the values of all the 3 measures, you can quickly figure out when CPU usage was maximum so that, you can investigate why CPU usage peaked during that time. |
| Last_1min_busy |
Indicates the percentage of time during the last 1 minutes the device was using the CPU. |
Percent |
| Last_5min_busy |
Indicates the percentage of time during the last 5 minutes the device was using the CPU. |
Percent |
| Available_Memory |
Indicates the number of bytes from this pool that are currently available for use by applications |
MB |
|
| Available_Free_Memory |
Indicates the percentage of unused memory in this pool |
Percent/td>
| Ideally, this value should be high. A low value or a value that consistently decreases could be a cause for concern, as it could indicate the gradual erosion of memory resources from the pool. Under such circumstances, you may either want to resize the pool or investigate what is causing the memory drain and curb it.
