[mod-security-users] mlogc consuming 100% of CPU?

[Christopher J. M. <cma...@ap...>]

Greetings,

We have several instances of modsecurity where the mlogc is consuming 100%, or close to 100%, CPU.

What can be done to reduce the CPU load?

I also should mention that we have modsecurity set up to not log anything in the testing unless there is a problem, and during testing nothing at all was being logged as far as I can see, that would be causing such a high CPU usage.

Furthermore, I should also mention that there are 4 instances running on our test boxen…

Here are the 2 instances in memory that are consuming too much CPU for the amount of actual logging:

15759 ss  20   0  767m 3364 1984 R 100.1  0.0   3102:58 mlogc                                                
 7025 ss  20   0  767m 5140 1984 R 99.7  0.1   5643:50 mlogc  

Thoughts? Any idea what we can do about this?

Thanks!
Christopher
