circusd 100% of one cpu

[Gnur]

Hello,

 

since a week ago I started to have an issue regarding circusd process. It is using one whole cpu.

Help please.

I suspect that circus is coming from a container or you've installed it via NerdPack or something.  You're going to have to figure out which and then diagnose and/or post in the appropriate application's support thread for more help.

Hi Squid, I've just checked NerdPack and it's not there... when you say container, do you mean docker container?

 

I have stopped VM manager and docker... circusd went away... after restart I got this:

root@Tower:/usr/bin# ps -ef | grep -i circus
root      3563 28913  0 11:40 pts/1    00:00:00 grep -i circus
2001     14556  4817  4 11:00 ?        00:01:54 /home/fermentrack/venv/bin/python3 /home/fermentrack/venv/bin/circusd --daemon /home/fermentrack/fermentrack/circus.ini
2001     14566 14556  1 11:00 ?        00:00:41 /home/fermentrack/venv/bin/python3 -c from circus import stats; stats.main() --endpoint tcp://127.0.0.1:5555 --pubsub tcp://127.0.0.1:5556 --statspoint tcp://127.0.0.1:5557 --log-level ERROR --log-output /home/fermentrack/fermentrack/log/circusd.log

 

But circusd is not at 100% now... so... you was right, something inside Fermentrack container... I'll keep an eye on it.

 

Thanks,

André Rung
