  • 1.  bmserver consuming high CPU utilization

    Posted Feb 22, 2011 02:00 PM

    Hi there,

        We have installed Brightmail 6.0.2 in a couple of servers, however some few servers are presenting high cpu utilization:

    Tasks: 441 total,   1 running, 439 sleeping,   0 stopped,   1 zombie
    Cpu0  : 27.2% us,  6.8% sy,  0.0% ni, 65.0% id,  0.0% wa,  1.0% hi,  0.0% si

        Does anyone has any idea about what be causing this? As we can see this is a strong server and the issue appeared suddently.

    Regard's

    Hi Luis,

    can you provide more details about the platform and hardware this is running in and confirm if the version is 6.0.2 or 6.2?

    Thanks,

    Federico
