Post 19.7.5.5 > 19.7.7 upgrade:
Noticed 100% cpu utilization (i5-5250u, 4 core), logged into command line, top listed suricata at 98%. Disabled suricata in the gui, cpu utilization went down below 10% (normal-ish). Then, cpu utilization spiked back up 100%, this time it's python 2.7 using over 90% on all 4 cores.
Any suggestions on what to do?

It wasn't suricata, and I don't know why python2.7 kept eating all four cores cpu %. I decided to remove plugins I wasn't using but had installed. I removed: tinc vpn, wireguard, nut, and maltrail. I apologize, I didn't remove them 1 at a time... I just removed them all, rebooted. Suricata is running fine, I'm not getting any cpu issues at all. I will reinstall some if not all of those packages in the future. I'll post it if I can prove something is misbehaving.

Maltrail, downloading all trails again.

Understood that maltrail caused it. That's an extraordinary amount of cpu utilization for an add-on service... despite it's value, the system resource utilization is too high to consider re-installation.
