High CPU load help

[fadzwa2000yahoo.com]

Hey,

I am new to pfsense and was wondering if someone could help me with this issue.  My cpu usage is 100% and I have attached the read out from the system diagnostics, not sure if that is of any help.

last pid: 59326;  load averages:  0.02,  0.06,  0.03  up 0+12:35:11    06:43:51
116 processes: 3 running, 95 sleeping, 18 waiting

Mem: 17M Active, 78M Inact, 75M Wired, 123M Buf, 551M Free

Meh. Look at load and idle…

[fadzwa2000yahoo.com]

Load and idle?

[heper]

its 100% idle , not 100% in use

[fadzwa2000yahoo.com]

I have attached what I see on the System Information dash, it does go back to zero when I stay on it after a few.

Yes, what you are seeing there is almost 0 load.
The idle process is what runs when there is nothing else to do so the fact that it is showing 100% indicates your CPU is not being asked to do anything.
The 0.04 load average confirms that.

Oh, thanks for clarifying everyone.  Appreciate the feedback.
