Anyone else have this problem with ConfD?

We have a lot (read: most) of the IPS rules enabled on our Astaro 6.100 box (P4, 2.4GHz, 512MB RAM), and find that if we click on the little "folder" to go back to the main IPS Rules screen, the ASL times out, we have to hit reload to get webadmin back, and TOP shows CONFD EATING the CPU... looks like it doesn't play nice when CONFD is accessing the DB.. I suggest that this be fixed, soon, as it causes traffic drops, and Daemon restarts as well.

  • Just tried it and couldn't make it fail. I was having that problem on my mandriva workstation/server, but I think that is caused by a problem with the Logitech mouse driver.

  • I've also experienced that problem with the 120 Security Gateway Appliance as well... it seems when there's a lot of rules configured in IDS, it does this. Both cases, CONFD "ate" the cpu momentarily, which caused the selfmonitoring daemon to think that the alicd and middleware daemons had locked up (they are probably only momentarily rendered unresponsive by CONFD taking up all CPU time), and then they are summarily restarted.  Existing connections are sometimes dropped in this process.
