service at 100% CPU Usage
hi guys
my linux bos red hat Ent 5.0 is reporting CPU usage 100% for the service/agent cimserver basically is slows down my system and I have to kill it so my system is OK again. my question is Can I set the CPU usage for this service? I mean can I set it to use only 4% or 10% of my CPU? or any other way to troubleshoot this 100% CPU usage. Since I've uninstalled and reinstall the agent and same issue is it possible to set the CPU Usage? thanks a lot |
You could nice/renice it to make it play better, but that sounds like a bug/misconfiguration unless you have some reason cimserver should be using that much processor.

Well i think you need to investigate WHY it's high, not just try to cripple it. Check log files etc..

I agree with Chris, you are better to attack the problem rather than the symptom.
However, you could look at cpulimit. Haven't used it in anger, but I did download it a year or two back and the code looked sane. |

There are some circumstances in which limiting the cpu usage to some predetermined upper limit is a very rational thing to do; you are probably not in one of those, except as an interim 'band aid' while you sort out the underlying problem. |
