Title: list_hosts.py -n (python3.11) generate high cpu spikes
Post by: Giel538 on February 20, 2026, 08:24:33 PM

From version 26.1.1 without any warning the following script is causing cpu spikes of 25 or more.

usr/local/bin/python3 /usr/local/opnsense/scripts/interfaces/list_hosts.py -n (python3.11)

Normally opnsense is running around 4% cpu load without much spikes.


Here you can see the change in cpu usage

This is how it looks on a 1 hour time frame

What is this script doing and is this a fault in the update or is it something in my configuration?
