CPU 100% - Processus mdw.plx

Hi 

Can you tell us the UTM version you use ?

We use UTM 9 Firmware version : 9.505-4

Hi

Try to upgrade to 9.506-2

There is several patch about 100% CPU usage

Hi

Thank you very much for your answers, suddenly, the update is already in the interface sophos waiting for installation planning.

So, what exactly is the mdw.plx and it's role, if the update is not launching.

thanks.

Salut Hyacinthes and welcome to the UTM Community!

You must Apply the Up2Date as it doesn't install unless you tell it to.

Middleware (mdw.plx) is what runs the UTM.  In 2002, one ASL (now UTM) developer commented, "The middleware is the central part of the ASL which mediates between the WebAdmin and the operating system and it's daemons."

PS I have moved this thread to the proper forum.

Hi BAlfson,

Thank you for your good answer, it helps us a lot.

Tomorrow, we will proceed to the installation.

Thanks.

Randomly getting this on 9.506-2 as well.

There seems to be no pattern as to when it happens either, We've seen it when streaming media, or when there is next to no traffic going through the UTM.
