Harvest 1.6 consuming 100% CPU

Greg_Wilson — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 12:08:17 GMT

Anyone having any issues with Harvest 1.6 consuming 100% CPU ?

I have 2 clusters and 1 OCUM

if i take out 1 cluster and run it with 1 cluster its still 100% cpu usage

Tasks: 117 total,   3 running, 114 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie

I upgraded the AWS instance and it still comsumed all available CPU.

If i add in the second cluster i get 2 netapp-worker process both consuming 100% CPU

Any ideas ?

Centos 7 , Full patched..

So i have upgraded the instance to m5a.large and still have the issue.

Hi Greg,

This is strange, do you observer 100% CPU usage all of the time? Normally Harvest pollers should be sleeping most of the time, so you should see CPU usage only for a few seconds each minute. (And even so, 100% CPU isn't something that you should normally see).

There is a few things you could do:

- Check Harvest logs to see if there are any warnings or errors.

- Check the Grafana dashboard of the Harvest poller, especially the graphs showing API time. If anything is higher than 10 seconds, might be part of the issue.

Hi,

Yes is consuming 100% of the CPU all the time.

Im wondering if its AWS and how they limit the CPU's for smaller instances..

https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=71347

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/burstable-performance-instances-unlimited-mode.html

This is the first time i have tried to deploy it in AWS. I have been running it using both

NABOX and Vmware (2cpu and 8gb RAM) on prem and its never been an issue.

I even dropped the polling of Cdot down to every 5min.

The logs for harvest look good.

Ill keep poking around..

That might explain it, 2 CPUs should be complete fine for two pollers. I run 10 pollers on 2 CPUs and I'm stil fine.

But the warnings in the first log also look odd. What is your cDot version? Even if you have a very old release, I don't think so many object types should be unavailable.

vachagan_gratian — Fri, 22 Nov 2019 10:41:56 GMT

I shouldn't be asking your release since it right up there in the log 🙂

No this isn't right for Ontap 9.5. If you want us to take a closer look, run your poller in vebose mode and share the logs with me (either here or just send to me).

Re: Harvest 1.6 consuming 100% CPU

Greg_Wilson — Tue, 17 Dec 2019 04:45:29 GMT

after weeks of stuffing aroud finally found out what the issue was.

im my harvest.conf

under the host i had this

[a1c34-cdot1]
hostname = 19.19.209.109
site = a1c34-lab
username = netapp-harvest
password = test1234
data_update_freq = 60
host_type = filer

once i removed the line

host_type = filer

everything worked.

CPU dropped to barely anything

and its now collecting perf data.
