fw ctl multik stat

Background:

Displays status of CoreXL instances and summary for traffic that passes through each CoreXL FW instance (current number and peak number of concurrent connections)
Diagnostics:

Collect this output to see the current status
Analysis:

Check the number and the allocation of FW instances to CPU cores (in cluster, the output must be identical on all members)
Check the peak number connections on FW instances (instances should be loaded as equally as possible)
Example from machine with 4 CPU cores (1 SND + 3 CoreXL FW instances):

ID | Active | CPU | Connections | Peak
———————————————-
0 | Yes | 3 | 26 | 66
1 | Yes | 2 | 36 | 64
2 | Yes | 1 | 39 | 53
