similar to: puppetmasterd continuously consuming high CPU, with many interrupts

A new pvops kernel (78b55f90e72348e231092dbe3e50ac7414b9e1af) needs around 25% cpu while being idle with 32 guest domains in event and ksoftirq kernel threads: | root 4 3.6 0.0 0 0 ? S 21:08 0:26 [ksoftirqd/0] | root 7 8.6 0.0 0 0 ? S 21:08 1:03 [ksoftirqd/1] | root 10 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S 21:08 0:00

I'm seeing some strange results from top on CentOS 4.0. When it first starts, it reports low CPU usage. The next refresh (and subsequent) refreshes, it shows high CPU usage. In both cases, there is nothing shown in the process list that is using much CPU. What is causing this? Here is some truncated output from a single run of "top -b -n 2":

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could tell me why so many processes are started on my system? Here is a list of them. I am trying to figure out why they are running and if I can stop them. Thnx.

I apologized ahead of time if this post shouldn''t go here but I having been knocking my heading for the last two days trying to get over the following error while trying to "clone" my primary puppetmasterd because we have outgrown one puppetmasterd setup.

Hi there I would like to setup my puppetmasterd behind my ADSL modem and manage the nodes on the hosting sites. I can imagine opening ports to the puppetmasterd server will work. Am I right? On the other hand an ideal configuration for me would be a Reverse Proxy setup, so I don''t have to touch the ADSL router. Has anyone setup a puppetmasterd behind a reverse proxy? Any pointers,

Hi, We have dedicated puppet master boxes, which basically only run a mongrel/puppetmasterd (6 instances), an apache proxy for mongrel and puppetd. Recently puppetmasterds seemed to have leaked almost all of the RAM, and the thrashing made the box painfully slow. We restarted the puppetmasterd processes, and started collecting some statistics. Attached is a graph of memory usage on one of the

Hi all, When I run the iperf benchmark to measure the TCP throughput between a physical machine and a VM, the TCP server which is a Xen VM crashed. Do you know what''s the problem of this bug?

Hi everyone, I am in the process of evaluating Puppet (version 0.23.0 - Solaris 10 sparc), so I am still a newbie. First tests with Puppet were fine since it was running with the default configuration. Now, I have created a "puppet.conf" file ( puppetmasterd --genconfig > puppet.conf ) to customize some of the configuration parameters. When "puppet.conf" is present,

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I''m running the latest version of puppet (debian 0.22.4-2), and I''ve gotten to a point with my configuration where puppetmasterd needs to be restarted every few days due to what seem like file handles not getting closed.

Hello List! I got a small (50mbits or so) application layer ddos attack against a few name servers (thousands of IPs sending lots of bogus A record requests - weird) - one of the name servers was behind a shorewall firewall. That firewall was running a 2.6.18-194.11.1.el5 kernel and shorewall-4.4.11.1-1. I noticed that the shorewall host had ksoftirqd using 100% of the CPU during the

Is there a way of specifying the server on a different port? I want to be able to change between two different puppetmasterd''s on the same box, and I want to pick between them by using selecting the port. There seems to be lots of :port* symbols floating around, and a --port in puppetd, but it''s not looking consistent. Is this something on the TODO path, or is there a

Hey, I'm going thru logs, and I see some very common and interesting things that the hackers are looking for. In a whole bunch of scans, I've noticed that the first guess or two for sip accounts is usually a 10-digit number. I'm asking myself, why these numbers? Are they looking for a voip trunk? Or is it just like a serial number for the scan? What? Here's some examples:

List, The past few days the asterisk service on my server has crashed several times. I have had it running for months and have made no changes to it. When it crashes, I am unable to make calls or gain access to the CLI. The service has been stopped. If I try to start it again (service asterisk start), it will start and run for a few seconds then crash again. After a reboot, it will run
