Receiving 1000's of High CPU Utilization Alearts

[cempey]

Hello,

We are receiving over one thousand High CPU Utilization alerts and clear messages daily. We reciveing an alert stating "CPU utilization is over 80%" and another showing the alert has cleared.

This is happeing on some, but not all, of our AP's (10 of 47). All affected AP's are Ap130's and are running HiveOS 8.1r2a.

Any suggestions on where I can look to resolve this?

Rebooting worked for me. Was receiving many 'CPU rate overload' messages in Events for 4 AP's that had been up and running for almost 2 years.

Hello!,

Did you manage to solve the issue?

• Try rebooting one see if the issue "goes away", if not maybe multicast / broadcast storm on your LAN may cause issues on the APs before other devices. Try taking a packet capture - see what's going on.
• Did you enable a feature or make a change recently?
• Open a support ticket - provide them a tech data on one AP.
• Use the Golden Series firmware if you can 6.5r9, more stable. In our testing it's less of a CPU hog than the 8.x series - especially on the AP130 series.
