Title: [SOLVED] CPU99%
Post by: Julien on July 21, 2018, 10:44:15 pm
Dear All,
I have a hardware box which is continue running on 90%/99% CPU which cause alot of pakket los on the WAN side.
I have checked the IO Operation
   
Code: [Select]
                 /0   /1   /2   /3   /4   /5   /6   /7   /8   /9   /10

The firewall is running just simple 2 firewall rules, any to any on the LAN and OPENVPN on the WAN nothing else.
i just wanna make sure we are not dealing with a faulty hardware.

Can someone please point me to the right directions to check ?

Thank you

Did you cut off part of the screen? The system looks 99% idle.

Thank you for your answer. but i am not sure i understand what you mean ?
which screen has been cut ?

The top two lines in your second 'capture' show the following:

Quote
PID USERNAME    PRI NICE   SIZE    RES STATE   C   TIME    WCPU COMMAND
   11 root        155 ki31     0K    32K RUN     1 158:26  91.77% [idle{idle: cpu1}]
   11 root        155 ki31     0K    32K RUN     0 160:42  79.55% [idle{idle: cpu0}]
Which, in my limited experience of FreeBSD, would seem to indicate that cpu1 @ 91.77% idle and cpu0 @ 79.55% idle. Is that what it's showing and why do you think that your 'hardware box' is running at 90-99% cpu usage?

Hi bill,
is just the timing not right for the capture. it shows iddle 0.1% and jumps again back.
on the gui it shows the CPU running like 99%

because it so busy its causes alot of pakket drop on the wan side and i need to indetify what causes this.

when we ping the ISP IP it does shows times out

Code: [Select]
64 bytes from 66.88.99.0: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=3.902 ms
64 bytes from 66.88.99.0: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.032 ms
64 bytes from 66.88.99.0: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=1.369 ms

64 bytes from 66.88.99.0: icmp_seq=5 ttl=64 time=1.335 ms
Request timed out.
64 bytes from 66.88.99.0: icmp_seq=6 ttl=64 time=1.099 ms
64 bytes from 66.88.99.0: icmp_seq=7 ttl=64 time=2.227 ms
64 bytes from 66.88.99.0: icmp_seq=8 ttl=64 time=1.191 ms
64 bytes from 66.88.99.0: icmp_seq=9 ttl=64 time=1.060 ms

we just need to know where to look, ISP or the firewall.

thank you

Your system looks idle based on what you've shared.

You should see something above that you cut off when you ran your top command:

Code: [Select]
last pid: 52990;  load averages:  0.29,  0.20,  0.13                                                                                    up 6+21:42:25  09:25:27
49 processes:  1 running, 48 sleeping
CPU:  0.0% user,  0.0% nice,  0.0% system,  0.1% interrupt, 99.9% idle
Mem: 24M Active, 3645M Inact, 729M Wired, 437M Buf, 3462M Free
Swap: 8192M Total, 8192M Free

Do you maybe know what cause the drop of the ISP gateway ?

More info such as what type of connection, eg bridged modem etc.

As an example, I have a dual wan setup with two dsl modems in bridge mode, one goes to the incumbent carrier and the second a reseller of the incumbent carrier's service. The incumbent uses ADSL2+ whereas the reseller is G.dmt, both fast path. The incumbent line does exactly what you describe and when I log into that modem( I documented how to set up rules in tutorials to do this), I see the snr margin has dropped considerably but this never lasts for more than a minute, this happens only several times a week too. The point of this is that it is in no way the fault of OPNsense. Your system appears to be happily gliding along as far as load.

Could perhaps the dot-zero IP-address (66.88.99.0) be the culprit?

Usally a dot zero represents an entire subnet eg 66.88.99.0/length

Only if the subnet size is /24 or smaller.

Thank you guys, we got this fixed.
it was a ISP issue and they have it fixed already.
thank you for your supports.

Sorry for kicking up an old thread, but I was wondering if the ISP told you what the problem was?  I'm having these same symptoms and I can't seem to pin them down.

Thanks,
