High cpu caused by zmstatuslog

[iniazi]

I set mine to 300, and the spikes just go to every 5 minutes instead of every 2 minutes (although there is a seperate but smaller spike, still, every 2 minutes). Making the interval larger I understand, since there is a contention between two different processes for the same thing (probably disk i/o and cpu).

But I think the real problem is, why does it use up that much cpu. I believe, on some machines the task runs much faster than others. Maybe some type of library incompatability, or possibly inefficient code. I think its probably some type of incompatability and its timing out. Anyway, it seems like a very high load for a new zimbra installation with no accounts, outside of the defaults.

Bug 42715 – zmmtaconfig spawned java process consumed high cpu

Not rushing, just curious if bug #38772 will be fixed soon. If so, I'll wait to migrate to zimbra when its fixed. Otherwise, I'll migrate now, and will just upgrade to new release when it comes out. I am assuming upgrades are easy.

High CPU spikes every 1 minute

Raj, Thanks, but I've already tried this. Now I have a 6 second big spike every 10 minutes and a 3 or 4 second medium size (100% cpu) spike every two minutes. Load avg hovers from .7 to 1.4 for a new installation of zimbra without it even be configured to handle mail. Zimbra is a new install for us, and I don't want to start with performance problems. If its smooth at idle, I can deal with performance issues later on.

Btw, machine is 3.4ghz dual proc p4 xeon w/ 4gb ram & latest 64bit centos 5 release.
