To make it easier to read, there are two pid's that are splitting the cpu time and racing each other to grab all cycle time.
root 24180 52.7 1.2 65600 26284 ? R 20:01 3:03 confd [worker:jsonrpc:system]
root 26583 60.5 2.1 67508 44364 ? R 20:07 0:01 confd [worker[:P]rpc:system]
I'm unsure why this is happening, and post other reboots the issue comes back. I've gone through and disabled all the additional services I can, Web Filter, WAF, Remote Access, SMTP, APT, IPS and with them all off the issue is still present.
Any suggestions greatly received!
