I am seeing a process /tmp/kdevtmpfsi in a fresh image installation after sometime. Any idea why is it taking 100%cpu and also it tries to update the metrics for which I have not installed any agent.

Hi @padsundar,
Have you by any chance installed docker and used it with some images? I’ve seen such behavior on other servers, not explicitly DigitalOcean droplets with the same behavior?

I have the same problem with this process /tmp/kdevtmpfsi, it likes come from nowhere… I installed some wordpress theme (also build from docker images) and this mining process comes up. I can’t figure out where is it come from, anyone knows ?
Update: I found out it was in the volume of redis, alpine
