that could be the issue.&nbsp; &nbsp;definatly something to look at.i would lean more towards using the top command to find out what is causing the issue.With ASM -&nbsp; i would further be concerned about spinning disks vs. SSD which will show up as a&nbsp; 'wa' in the top stastics.

..... I would stay out of the gui as it tends to run hot and take more resources than its worth.that is only a dual core unit with a spinning disk drive,&nbsp; so there is not a lot of hardware to work with.&nbsp; Its also EOS - with 3 years left of life, meaning its a migration effort that will need to be repeated in the near future.
from the CLI,&nbsp; - top would be a better tool to work with.&nbsp; &nbsp;
https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K32264816what services are at the top few consuming all the resources?what is the "load " in top 1 min -5 min&nbsp;what resourse is consuming the load?what is the uptime of the device?how many VIPS / objects do you have in your config?have you turned up logging?&nbsp; are you useing HSL?
what modules do you have provisioned?
under provisioning - what is the size of the managment module?&nbsp;
if you are attempting to run ASM/AWAF - on the box - that is likely the cause, its far to small hardware wise to run efficently - you might find some relief here:&nbsp; &nbsp;https://community.f5.com/t5/technical-forum/high-cpu-usage-independent-from-traffic/td-p/317138&nbsp;

Keep in mind if it is resource issue then the upgrade because of the reboot can clear it out for some time, so monitor the system for some time.
