unknown Python 3.7 causing spikes on CPU

[andrema2]

Hi

On the 20.1.8_1 version, I'm seeing spikes that takes 100% of CPU caused by a Python 3.7.

I don't know how I can find out what is this Python program. Any suggestion is welcome

It might be insight traffic aggregation. Can you try to stop local netflow and see if it stops?

Try to monitor system process with top:

• Launch top
• Press "s", then "1", then ENTER to set the refresh interval to 1 second
• Press "a" to show full command strings
• Press "i" to hide idle processes

Then just wait for some spike to happen, and note the python command invocation string.

If the console width is too narrow, either use an ssh / tty connection with a maximized window (run resizewin on tty to have the terminal fit the dimensions of the window).

I have a similar problem, but specifically with maltrail. Are you running that?

No, I have not.
