Why is high CPU resource usage a concern when managing ADOMs?

High CPU resource usage is a significant concern when managing ADOMs because it can lead to slower log processing. When CPU usage is elevated, the ability of the FortiAnalyzer to efficiently handle incoming logs and perform analyses is compromised. This results in delays in log ingestion, reporting, and the timely application of log-based actions, which are critical for maintaining an effective security posture.

Slower log processing can also lead to backlog issues where logs are queued for processing, potentially missing real-time alerts or insights into network activity. As a result, organizations may not have up-to-date security visibility, which can hinder their ability to respond to threats promptly. This impact on performance underscores the importance of monitoring CPU usage to ensure that the FortiAnalyzer operates smoothly and efficiently.
