We are receiving CPU performance alerts on windows servers, currently monitored using agent
As per TOP 10 CPU process usage , ‘WmiPrvSE.exe’ is noticed to be the major contributor,
Problem looks like related to Solarwinds Agents jobs (process id of ‘SolarWinds.JobEngineWorker.x64.v2) is constantly requesting a large amount of information from WMI providers, this is causing the WMI Provider Host process to use a lot of CPU”
These performance issues will be there for 10-20 mins and will be back to normal again.
Related to these performance issues, WMI activity logs shows more errors, Hence would like to understand what could be the problem here.
A case '00650428' was already raised with support, and it was advised to check with server team and verify if the content from this resource can be applied on the affected server:
