Task Monitor—Collecting Processor Data
The task monitor feature allows you to enable or disable the collection of
processor utilization data. The task-monitor cpu command is equivalent to the
existing debug mode command "taskusage -d". (The taskUsageShow command
is available as well.)
When the task-monitor command is enabled, the show cpu command summa
rizes the processor usage by protocol and system functions.
Syntax: [no] task-monitor cpu
