Hi, guys
I have a problem with that process
Right now for droplet in Memory tab it looks like:
fider 156.58 % postgres 6.35 % php 5.80 % mysqld 4.22 % php-fpm5.6 2.69 % dockerd 2.56 % docker-containe 2.52 %
and it constantly growing.
When I trying top command in cli I can’t find this process.
I found something similar but it consume not 156% of memory
15051 root 20 0 14712 5160 3556 S 0.3 0.1 0:00.11 ./fider ping
29884 root 20 0 15608 5252 3696 S 0.3 0.1 0:00.04 ./fider ping
31218 root 20 0 15608 5360 3820 S 0.3 0.1 0:00.09 ./fider ping
Does anybody know what doing this process and why it is growing?

I found the problem. It was one of the docker container that generate ping to another container. It happened after the server reload docker just run it’s containers. And ‘fider’ process was a container named after Fider service.
I found something, and there is a plenty of this processes of this three types and I think It is growing for some reasons.
