Right, will do! Actually, for my TrueNAS-VM as well :-)

I totally agree with Ricardo: we should document your input somehow, so it's easier to find. I'd be happy to contribute, if you instruct me.

Hi.

The only alternative I have to i440fx is q35, which is even older. So I stick to i440fx for now.

I changed the network adapter to VMware vmxnet3 and will monitor if this helps. If the network is more reliable now, we know for sure what caused it. I will report back to you.

Thanks again!

I really appreciate that you spend so much time on this.

See the screenshot attched.
The em1 has a cat5e cable with rj45-connector (1000Mbit), to a router from my ISP, switching to fiber there:

The underlying physical storage... unsure what you want to know... a local SSD, SCSI controller

Second image...

Find 2 screenshots below. The first one is with netflow disabled, the second has netflow enabled.

Is this system pushing a lot of traffic?

I've been uploading 100Gb to Nextcloud yesterday (using Nextclouds web-interface), from a PC outside the LAN. Other than that, It was mostly just browsing or streaming some music. I am unexperienced when it comes to network, but I don't believe that this cause a higher CPU load. It's a home network with very limited amount of users.

Please see the screenshot below.
Of course, now that the doctor is here, the pain vannishes: CPU is down to 25%. I am not aware of any changes in my network that could cause this. I will keep an eye on it a run the command again, when the CPU-load rises again.

Adding a screenshot of system resources, including CPU-load...

Hi all!

I am worried about the CPU loadin OPNsense, which is in average about 60%. Even if there is little traffic going on.
"top" tells me, that two sqlite3-processes use about 50% of my CPU. Shouldn't be like that, should it?

I would be very grateful if someone could help me troubleshooting this. Thanks in advance.
