Solved: CPU load difference CPVIEW vs TOP on R80.30 kernel... - Check Point CheckMates
CPU load difference CPVIEW vs TOP on R80.30 kernel 3.1
Hi Checkmates,
can someone explain to me why I can see different CPU loads between CPVIEW and TOP since our upgrade to R80.30 kernel 3.1 (UMFW) on our 16core OpenServer ?
This is the affinity setting:
eth7: CPU 0
fw_0: CPU 15
fw_1: CPU 7
fw_2: CPU 14
fw_3: CPU 6
fw_4: CPU 13
fw_5: CPU 5
fw_6: CPU 12
fw_7: CPU 4
mpdaemon: CPU 4 5 6 7 12 13 14 15
fwd: CPU 4 5 6 7 12 13 14 15
dtlsd: CPU 4 5 6 7 12 13 14 15
vpnd: CPU 4 5 6 7 12 13 14 15
in.asessiond: CPU 4 5 6 7 12 13 14 15
pepd: CPU 4 5 6 7 12 13 14 15
lpd: CPU 4 5 6 7 12 13 14 15
dtpsd: CPU 4 5 6 7 12 13 14 15
rtmd: CPU 4 5 6 7 12 13 14 15
pdpd: CPU 4 5 6 7 12 13 14 15
in.acapd: CPU 4 5 6 7 12 13 14 15
cprid: CPU 4 5 6 7 12 13 14 15
cpd: CPU 4 5 6 7 12 13 14 15

I just got sudden enlightment 😁
TOP shows the cumulative value of CPVIEWs "User" and "System" column of a CPU.

How many CPU cores are licensed?
What's this command showing?
sqlite3 -header CPViewDB.dat \
'select name_of_cpu, cpu_usage from UM_STAT_UM_CPU_UM_CPU_ORDERED_TABLE order by cpu_usage desc limit 10;'

Hi Danny,
license is for 16 cores:

The output of your command is:
[Expert@xxxxxx:0]# sqlite3 -header CPViewDB.dat 'select name_of_cpu, cpu_usage from UM_STAT_UM_CPU_UM_CPU_ORDERED_TABLE order by cpu_usage desc limit 10;'

I ran ccc on the passive member. btw very nice script !
Seems it does not pickup the MQ interfaces correctly ....
Dumps in /var/log/dump/usermode/ are only from cpview
Thanks and regards

If you are trying to compare CPU usage to system load average than these are two different things. Btw, do you have any excess RX-DRP on interfaces ?
You mention USMFW but just for info, it is not enabled on this system according what top displays.

Hi,
currently no excessive RS-DRPs.
Why would you say UMFW is not enabled ?

You have many fwk0_* processes which should not be the case when UMFW is enabled ?

If you press Shift+H in top the fwk0_dev_0 will resolve to the fwk... processes.
