Exam NetSec-Analyst Topic 1 Question 64 Discussion

Actual exam question for Palo Alto Networks's NetSec-Analyst exam
Question #: 64
Topic #: 1
A Palo Alto Networks firewall, running PAN-OS 10.1 , is experiencing intermittent CPU spikes to 95%+, leading to dropped new sessions and slow policy commit times. You suspect a potential resource exhaustion issue related to a specific application or threat signature. Which of the following commands or features would be MOST effective for initial diagnosis to identify the root cause of the high CPU usage without causing further service disruption?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

While other options might provide some insight, show running resource-monitor hour (or similar time-based options like show running resource-monitor hour day or minute) is specifically designed to show historical resource utilization including CPU, sessions, and other critical metrics. This allows for identifying trends and correlating CPU spikes with specific timeframes or events. Options A would cause disruption. Option B provides system logs, but not direct resource utilization. Option D is for deep, offline analysis and takes time. Option E focuses on session bandwidth, not direct CPU consumption.
