• PID: The process ID (PID) of the process.
• User: The username associated with the process.
• Process: The name of the process.
• %CPU: The percentage of CPU time consumed by the process.
• CPU Time: The CPU time consumed by the process in seconds.
• State: The current state of the process, such as Running, Sleeping, or Zombie.

Equipment:

The 'show processes cpu' command is supported on a wide range of Cisco devices, including routers, switches, security appliances, and wireless controllers.

Additional Information:

• The 'show processes cpu' command is a useful tool for troubleshooting performance issues on Cisco devices. It can help identify processes that are consuming excessive CPU resources.
• The command output can be filtered using the 'include' or 'exclude' keywords to focus on specific processes or process states.
• The 'show processes cpu history' command can be used to display historical CPU utilization data for various processes.
