Hi all,

Ive noticed twice now, that my server will start to act sluggish, still accessible via web/gui, however plex streams will start buffering for users.

When I check the dashboard, I see all cores are maxed out 100%.

Viewing htop, I see nwatchdog processes are the culprit.

I am not too familiar with how to deep dive into processes, to figure out where it's coming from.

I am open to any help, ID'ing what is causing this.

After reboot, it runs fine for approx 2 days, before it'll come back.

Thank you!

My guess would be a docker container, or maybe a plugin. Try disabling docker and see if it happens again. A more broad effort is running in safe mode.

Diagnostics may help. Consider enable syslog server just in case.

Also post output of: ps aux | grep nwatchdog

Marking this old thread as solved... Was an uncofirmed bug at the time. No longer an issue.
