hi,
Spunk universal forwarder version 9..0.3 running at 100% cpu on Linux even after a restart is their a known issue/workaround for this?
thanks,
joe
Hi there,
If you're still facing this issue, can you elaborate some things and confirm this is a splunk issue or system/resource issue:
What CPU does your machine have? (cores, threads, etc)
Is your CPU usage at 100%, if so, how much of that % is splunkd responsible for? (run the command: top)
The CPU processes the instructions that come from programs, the operating system, or other components in your machine. splunkd is just one part of that. So if another program or service is using 75% CPU and splunkd is using 25%, your CPU usage will be 100%, but not necessarily the forwarder's fault.
If splunkd is using the most CPU%, how heavy of a workload is it handling? Is it monitoring large files or directories?
Also, you could try the suggested steps mentioned here
