exclude IP from sensei

[actionhenkt]

Hi,

Sensei is using 100% cpu and is capping my throughput, is it possible to exclude an IP in sensei so sensei does not scan the traffic at all ?
Have added the IP to the exempted network/ip list but sensei is still scanning.

hi @actionhenkt, exempted networks/ip is the way to go.

Is this new (e.g. started after upgrade to 21.7) or has this been an ongoing situation?

[actionhenkt]

Thanks, I already added the IP's but im not sure if this also works to/from external destinations/sources ? When downloading/uploading, with sensei on the max download/upload is around 330/340 mbps, without sensei I get 940mbps.

The issue is not new also had this pre 21.7 just trying to work around it without disabling sensei

What happens if you put sensei onto bypass mode? In the bypass mode, sensei will be just forwarding packets back and forth.

[actionhenkt]

setting bypass mode did not make a difference

Got it. Looks like netmap. Can you send a bug-report? Let's have a look at your ethernet drivers & configuration.

I have an APU2 and Sensei is in bridge mode. I have whitelisted:

news.eweka.nl
sslreader.eweka.nl
81.171.92.0/24

But Sensei keeps scanning the connection, using one core of the processor above 90%.

When I download the whitelist, it is empty (0 bytes).

There is a difference between allow connection, but inspect it and do not inspect at all the connection. I am afraid whitelist does the former rather than the later.
