Troubleshooting high system utilization

High CPU or memory usage might indicate a shortage of resource or system-wide issues.

If your system has high CPU or memory usage, check the following:

• Are there any recently-added devices or increases in submissions from devices.
• Did you recently change the system configuration.
• Check the Dashboard for system usage and other indicators.
• In the Scan Jobs GUI, check the Large Pending Queue section.
• Run the tac-report CLI command to execute a series of CLI commands for a comprehensive report. Check the output for possible issues, especially the status and diagnose-sys-top.
