CPU usage is tracked in AIOps for NGFW using the following metrics:

mp_system_resources.mp_cpu: Indicates the total CPU usage.
mp_system_resources_daemon.cpu_usage_sum: Indicates the CPU usage resulting from the Management Plane tasks that are running in the Management Plane CPU (MP-CPU). This metric is equivalent to the CPU usage found in SNMP.
mp_system_resources_daemon.pan_task_cpu_usage: Indicates the CPU usage resulting from the PAN tasks that are running in the MP-CPU performing Data Plane kind of operations. This data is not a part of SNMP and mp_system_resources_daemon.pan_task_cpu_usage metric.

The total CPU usage is calculated as:

mp_system_resources.mp_cpu = mp_system_resources_daemon.cpu_usage_sum + mp_system_resources_daemon.pan_task_cpu_usage
