We have this odd issue where the CPU is spiking to 88% on avg its 82% and causing the firewall

We have rebooted the firewall which solves the issue for about 2 weeks.

To make it worse cmdbsvr crashed and the firewalls failover.

 

Tried killing wad but 1 second later its all back.

 

Plus all demons go into sleep.

 

FGT is on version 6.2.2.

 

Current situation:

    Try upgrading to 6.2.3 as it appears to fix some issues with the WAD workers (or other issues).  See the Proxy section in the release notes.

    I agree.. 6.2.2 had some nasty memory leaks.

    Thank you all, planning is in process for a upgrade. I suspected a memory leak but could not convince myself that a memory leak could appear in version 6.2.2. Fingers crossed for the upgrade hope there is no nasty surprises.
