SWTrapService consumes 100% CPU

JM2010 Aug 10, 2010 7:57 AM

Hello everyone,

I have been having a critical situation with my Solarwinds monitoring server for a certain time.
I found that the service SWTrapService alone consumes more than 66% of the cpu all the time (see figs below).

In the Orion NPM web interface, the Solarwinds Trap service sends me an error
when I click on it. I have already reconfigured the application using the "Configuration Wizard" but that service still returns the same error message.

- I would like to know how to solve the problem of cpu overloading by SWTrapService ?
- How to make this service works normally again?

Thank you for your help

regards

This will be due to some device flooding your trap listener with traps. You need to track down the culprit device and either fix the issue on the device or change the trap level on the device

  Thank you Capt. Obvious,
  SQL is installed in a dedicated machine; but we have noticed that everytime we launch a maintenance of the database, the cpu load decreases down to 20% for 2 or 3 days and then comes back to 100%.
  We are still looking for the culprit device in order to fix the issue...
