comet424 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 hi I was having issues with my plex etc.. and trying to get this CPU pinning to work right but its not but I turned off all vms and doctors.. and yet CPU 0/4 is still throttling up to 76 percent.. and I read that's what unraid uses that cpu.. but why it is running high is it the plugins and dockers then? and how do I put more cpus to plex or least to know plex is using them but ya not sure why I having slowness and issues with unraid since the update and I cant figure it out and does anyone know why STOP button never works for VMS I always have to FORECE STOP for windows the STOP button never ever works to I guess do a normal shut down Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 is there a gui Task manager for unraid for apps running what cpu is connected to what .. so I can narrow down why the first core is running Quote Link to comment
nicecube Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) Hi, you can download netdata docker, it ll show you everything you need. I had problems with my plex server, which really helped me was to configure my cpu core. Plex CPU 0/1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8 All my other CPU dockers 9/10 so like that all my power is dedicated to my plex server. You can configure cpu if you enable the advanced option in the docker.

comet424 Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 ok thanks ill give it a try as I currently have 4 core intel 3820 cpu and I pined plex and isolations 2 3 4 and then fix common issues complains I pinned 3 cores to plex as I read and watch core 1 goes to unraid but ya I turned off all dockers vms and core one fluxates from 0 to 80% as I wanna build a new case and cpu for my unraid a 24 bay that can handle 2-6 streams to tvs in the house and not have any slow down so working on upgrade but just dealing with this as I been finding plex slow or choppy at times but ill check this app out to add thanks Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 my message never sent earlier I see... so just posted... so I took some screen shots but trying to figure it out … ad Idle you see my cpu is using 59% is that from the Pluggins I took a few screens but still trying to understand like softirqs and it shows system and user use the most cpu at idle 20-40% Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) this was the screen shot I took of applications not sure what other is? and this is with dockers shut off but im sure the other must be the plugins I have installed but haven't found yet specific section that shows each app like taskmanager will show this file is sucking this much cpu and ram maybe this program doesn't but sure does show a lot of graphing which is cool and you can see my pinning that I thought was correct but im guessing its wrong... as I isolated 2 3 4 from unraid so it goes directly to plex and 2 vms which you don't see Edited December 15, 2019 by comet424 Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) and here I enabled plex and watching 1 stream,.,, it sure uses 100% of the second core those figured it split it up .. but ill tinker around this netdata see whats hogging the cpu and try to fix plex as I find it buffers a lot at time and hangs so figured maybe an app is hogging more cpu … maybe ill find it in the netdata app Edited December 15, 2019 by comet424 Quote Link to comment
