How to check the concurrent firewall throughput of Sophos XGS firewall to check if customer needs to upgrade.

Question

Hello! 
 I'm having a hard time checking Sophos firewall concurrent Firewall throughput. 
 Is the load average in the system graph is equivalent to the firewall Throughput? 
 Thank you in advance for the helps

Hi, 
 please post a screenshot of the graph. If it is the graph I think it is, that displays the processing load on the CPU, not the CPU load. Depending on the size of the XG unit will depend on the recommended ,maximum load.

Hello Nathaniel, 
 Good day and thanks for reaching out to Sophos Community. 
 Load average in graph just shows the load on your Sophos firewall on a selected time period not the equivalent or total throughput of the device: https://doc.sophos.com/nsg/sophos-firewall/19.5/help/en-us/webhelp/onlinehelp/AdministratorHelp/Diagnostics/SystemGraphs/LoadAverageGraphs/index.html 
 On the other hand, Firewall Throughput usually is the the highest speed status in the technical specification of a certain Firewall without any of its security features enabled: https://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/next-gen-firewall/tech-specs#XGS1U 
 Hope this helps. Have a nice day and thank you for choosing Sophos. 
 Cheers,
