High CPU USAGE IN 2.7.0-RELEASE
-
pretty sure this is the upgrade problem and I recommend the update over ssh!
https://forum.netgate.com/post/1140955Maybe ntopng is the CPU load issue, try to disable/remove it.
-
Ntopng service has already stopped. I will install the 2.7.2. over ssh
how do we find the CPU usage issue and network connectivity issues ? -

No idea, sorry. This must depend on your setup.
-
Thanks.
Before upgrading the version. It was working fine, there was no CPU usage and network connectivity issue s mentioned earlier.
-
There is something else, did you mention somewhere you use a VM ?
If so :
The pfSense from last decade, 2.4.5, used an very ancient FreeBSD kernel.
The recent 2.7.2 uses what, freeBSD 14 or even 15 ?
The hypervisor model or VM settings should be 'updated' (upgraded ?) also.
if not, bad, or even horrible network virtualization has been seen before. -
Thanks for your response.
Firewall current kernel version is FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT amd64. We are running pf sense in physical machine.
our issue is below - FYI.
only If a few users using connecting in the firewall, it's working fine. When connecting more users in firewall, only we can able to use the internet, cant access another network (ipsec network/ openvpn network). After rebooting the firewall, everything is working fine -
Does it happen immediately or after the firewall has been running for a while? Does the interrupt load increase slowly?
What NICs do you have in that box? I can see re0 there.

Ok, good to know.
I didn't understand why this installed :

How many users? Are you using the Captive Portal?
-
S stephenw10 moved this topic from Problems Installing or Upgrading pfSense Software on
-
We are not using captive portal. Around 50 devices are connecting in LAN.
Interrupt load increases as number devices connection increase in LAN.
"LAN in" Traffic has reaching till 300 M as cpu interrupt load increases.Then we need to reboot firewall.

Is it all Realtek NICs?
-
We are using three NIC.
We are using two WANs and one LAN.
WAN1 is Intel adapters
LAN is Intel adapters
WAN 2 is Realtek adapter -
Are you load-balancing traffic between those WANs?
-
No, We are not doing a load balancer as secondary WAN has less bandwidth.
FYI - We have updated now the version to 2.7.2
-
What does
vmstat -ishow is creating the interrupt load? -
-
Ok nothing too huge there. What does it show when the issue happens?
-
Our Network has IPsec VPN, and OpenVPN. I can access the firewall via web GUI and SSH, IPsec network, and Open VPN Client.
Once issue has arrived, I can't able to firewall via SSH, web GUI, IPsec Network, and OpenVPN client but all existing devices can connect to the internet continuously without any issue..
-
Can you connect to the console to check that? You captured the top output above.
-
I couldn't access the console, it froze just like SSH. After rebooting, I was able to access the console.
