      Hi, I just upgrade from 2.3.2-p1 to 2.4 and I'm seeing that the CPU utilization has spiked up from 2% to about 17% at idle. Is this a known issue? I'm running this in ESXi with and giving it 4 cores @ 2.6gGhz and 4GB of memory. If this is not a known issue, do y'all have any thoughts?

      Here is graph of cpu utilization over time:

                That's the SNMP Daemon, any new monitoring tool in your network putting load on that?

                  Is the new net-snmp daemon on top of bsnmpd? https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=124071.0

                  pfSense:
                  ASRock -> Wolfdale1333-D667 (2GB TeamElite Ram)
                  Marvell 88SA8040 Sata to CF(Sandisk 4GB) Controller
                  NIC's: RTL8100E (Internal ) and Intel® PRO/1000 PT Dual (Intel 82571GB)

                    The issue was with the built-in snmp daemon. I stopped the service and it fixed the CPU load issue. I may not need snmp anymore for pfsense since PRTG can pull most of the data from ESXi. Thanks for the help.

                      Disable the host resources module: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/6882

                      Or switch to the NET-SNMP package instead of the built-in bsnmpd

                        I switched to NET-SNMP and all is well.
                        Thanks everyone!
