Question

reportd CPU Utilization often at 99%

Fortigate 90d running 5.4.2, happened on 5.4.1 as well.

Very often, my FG90D is at very high CPU utilization.

Diag sys top shows reportd is always the culprit.

 

I've tried a lot of things, and cannot resolve the issue.

Log Settings -> Enable Local Reports is off.

 

It has a very basic configuration, can easily be rebuilt.

Does anyone have any ideas?

(I've killed reportd, it comes back some time later.  I've tried different firmware versions, same problem)

Diag sys top results:

    Same thing here, on 5.4.2 on a 90D.  Also see "netscan" jumping up as well.

     

    If there were a way to make "reportd" and "netscan" into "low priority" (shows as "N" on diag sys top) I wouldn't have a problem, but as it is "reportd" grabs so many CPU cycles that it's impacting users

    Did you every find a solution for this?  I am having the exact same problem, and it happens very often (every hour or so).  Reportd suddenly using 99% CPU, which stops when I kill it (and it automatically reloads).  Then, before too long, it happens again.  I am still setting up this unit for the first time, so I have a very simple setup (nearly stock) and just a couple computers sitting on it, in a test environment. I have a Fortigate 90D running 5.4.3.

    We've found other things that drive the CPU nuts, one is VPN'ing out with SSLVPN back into the same subnet, but that makes sslvpnd go high CPU, not reportd and not netscan.  And a simple rule blocks the SSLVPN loopback.

     

    Wish I had an answer to the reportd load problem other than a multi-core new box (like the 61E instead of 90D we have).
