Restart Cisco RTMT Reporter Servlet on live system - High CPU

[Kim Nielsen]

Hi,

We have a system running, where we have the Publisher running on high CPU for the last couple of weeks. When looking into what is taking most of the CPU, then the rtmtreporter pops up. I have tried to look into if it will be okay to try and restart the service, without it causing any interruptions on the system?

Anyone knows if that will be ok?

Hi Kim,

Yes, it should be okay. Generally in these kind of scenarios we restart the service causing the high cpu as an initial step to resolve the issue. If the issue returns then the corresponding traces and other system related information can be collected.

Hello

We are facing the same problem with high cpu on publish.

rtmtreporter has more than 80% cpu.

How can I restart this service ?

Thanks in advance,

Ever figured what was the cause of rtmtreporter CPU usage going thru the roof?
