High CPU load when enabling Traffic Analyzer - Statistic on GT-AXE16000

[nagyimre1980]

Hi everyone!

I'm using an ASUS GT-AXE16000 with a 2/1 Gbps fiber connection.
When Traffic Analyzer - Statistic is turned off, my CPU usage stays very low – max 3-4%.
However, the moment I enable Traffic Analyzer - Statistic, the CPU load jumps dramatically – easily reaching around 50% or even higher, even under normal traffic.

Enabling Traffic Analyzer automatically activates the Trend Micro engine (Signature).

On the System Info page it shows: HW acceleration Runner: Enabled – Flow Cache: Enabled
But it feels like hardware acceleration/flow cache is not actually working despite being shown as enabled.

My questions:

1. Is there a technical way to log per-client traffic data without involving Trend Micro?
   I don't need application analysis – I only want basic per-device bandwidth statistics.
2. Why does enabling simple traffic statistics automatically turn on the full Trend Micro signature engine?

Because in this state the feature is basically unusable – the CPU load is way too high.

Thanks in advance for any insight or possible workaround!

What’s the actual issue? Does anyone from your network users even notice when you turn Traffic Analyzer ON and OFF?
