Platform Clear and Show Commands
3-100 Configuring the XSR Platform
show cpu-utilization
This command tracks current use of various CPU processes as a percentage of total CPU usage for
the last five second, one minute, and five‐minute intervals, and the number of times each process
was called in total since the XSR was powered on. Also, CPU utilization is shown: the first
percentage indicates total CPU usage, the second indicates the percentage of CPU time spent at
the interrupt level, and remaining percentages are total CPU usage for 1‐ and 5‐minute periods.
The command is a good diagnostic tool to measure which process is consuming the most CPU
time and how strenuously the CPU is working as a whole. The XSR is operating normally if the
CPU can satisfy advertised throughput levels at maximum capacity.
Be aware that this command draws on processor capacity at the expense of operational needs.

Parameter Description
Process XSR task measured including Packet Processor (XSR forwarding
engine), RIP and OSPF Processors, Idle (calculated processor idle time),
and Other (all other tasks).
Invoked Number of times a process has been called since the XSR was active.
CPU utilization Total percentage of CPU being used at each interval.
14.53%/0.80%; one
minute: 9.88%; five
minutes: 8.20% The first percentage indicates the total and the second indicates the
percentage of CPU time spent at the interrupt level, followed by one
and five minute percentages.
