Hi,
I saw a little bit about this back in 8/31/12 (http://lists.xymon.com/archive/2012-August/035381.html), but it was never resolved? Has anyone else seen xymond_channel consuming so much CPU time? I can't imagine this being normal.

Hi David,
That much CPU time definitely isn't normal... Were you able to get an strace or see anything in the logs from around when that was happening.
The only thing that immediately comes to mind might be some sort of semaphore/IPC issue causing it to spin on incoming channel messages from xymond.
