    I'm not sure I understand the question but if you want to gain access to this information via API then take your pick between iControl using SOAP or iControl using REST.

    If I remember correctly, the top command gives you information about the management plane processes, from which tmm is generally the largest consumer. If you want to dig into CPU utilization within tmm, and particularly within each tmm/cpu, then from the command line:

    tmsh show sys cpu

    which translates to the following iControlREST syntax:

    curl -sk -u 'admin:admin' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET https://x.x.x.x/mgmt/tm/sys/cpu

    You'll need to do some additional parsing to get the User and System values that you're looking for, but the information is all there.
