I was also observing hostwatch running at nearly 100% CPU...

I Proof my OPNsense Updates within a VirtualBox VM running on an Ubuntu 24.04.3 Host, where my /home Partition sits on a HDD...

With 25.7.11_2 I was also observing a Serious Level of HDD Thrashing, until I disabled Automatic Discovery!!!

Just to mention, on one test box and two operational boxes, all bare metal Intel and AMD, hostwatch trots along quietly with no untoward CPU spikes or log writes. Three principal subnets (no vlans), all IPv4, around 25 devices.
Deciso DEC697

For Proofing Updates, I also run OPNsense 25.7 within a Workstation VMPlayer VM: Host is Windows 11 (C: Drive is a SSD)...

Everthing seems "Quite" HERE??
