Do-agent dry cpu

Posted on October 7, 2019

Hello,

I’m using do-agent to monitor digital ocean droplet. But I noticed that it use almost 100% cpu.

I tried to kill do-agent process, but it starts again.

Also I tried uninstall do-agent “sudo apt-get purge do-agent” but I can still see do-agent is running.

Here is result from top command

PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 4201 do-agent 20 0 2679976 398720 0 S 101.0 4.9 35:27.63 mysqld

It is normal behaviour? How can I remove this process from droplet?

I couldn’t add code to original question, so I add it here.

Hi,

Seems to happen when running Redis (in my case when running a Dockerized Redis listening on the default port).

Restarting my Redis means that the CPU and the do-agent high CPU usage immediately drops to normal.

Same over here. Any updates on this?
