[7.903][BUG][CLOSED] HTTP conf reload every 3-4 minutes

Hi,
yes this is very similar to another thread I have running, but I thought it needed to be highlighted.

At the http proxy conf reloads every 3-4 minutes.

what needs to be changed to make it wait a bit longer between reloads?

Drops downloads..

  • Can you please check the output of
    grep dns-resolver.plx /var/log/confd.log

    at the command line?

    The proxy works fine on my installations. But we touched the dns-resolver recently.
    So maybe there is a link.

    Regards,
    Daniel

  • Hi folks,
    I run the extract and attached it as a compressed file because the raw file is over 1mb in size.
    DNS host entries, I have the ASG defaults and a couple of others I have added.
    My http proxy is in standard mode.

    Also since I installed the 7.903 update my cpu has become very spikey. Mind you the cpu is not heavily loaded, but the new spikes are way higher than the average under previous beta releases.
