A4 - High CPU utilization "SysIdleTask" process

A4 - High CPU utilization "SysIdleTask" process

Hi

I installed a few A4 switches recently and realized that they are all showing high cpu utilization in the "SysIdleTask" process.

Does anyone know what this can be?

Is it a normal behavior?

SysIdleTask is a remaining CPU load after all other tasks
e.g. you have summary load 8% then this "task" will have (but not use!) 92%

System IdleTask is the % of CPU that is not being consumed by a process. So, seeing a low number like 10% would be bad.

Yes, this is normal. The utilization of the CPU seems to be fine as well. Nothing to worry.

SysIdleTask means unused resources that are available to your system.
