We have 3 heavy forwarders and universal forwarders are sending data to these 3 HF. But the CPU usage on one of the heavy forwarder is high. Can I please know how to troubleshoot the issue, why the CPU utilization is high on one of HF.

If you still want to use HF, perhaps you want to review the Troubleshooting Manual
