Hmm. Good data. Let me see if I can find anything....

@stephenw10 I tried removing my dashboard widgets tracking gateway performance but the same number of updaterrd.sh exist a few days later.
I have a similar number of VPN connections to updaterrd.sh files.
Not sure if thats helpful but wanted to share.

Still nothing logged at the point the RRD process start to rack up?

@stephenw10 Found some time to reboot the system so will monitor over the coming days. So far utilisation is back to pre-spiked levels. I disabled RRD graphs associated with NTP statistics that I had enabled too.

This is my current ps aux output

Yeah, I've yet to hit it here. We are reviewing it.
