Issue/Introduction

The vmware probe is consuming almost 100% of CPU at the system it is deployed to. 

 

If the probe is stopped, the CPU usage is less than 5%. When the probe re-starts, it becomes about 98%.

 

 

Environment

Release : 8.51, 9.x, 20.x

Component : UIM - VMWARE

Cause

The memory allocation for the probe is too low forcing it to use more CPU resources. 

Resolution

Increase the memory allocation.
This can be done via Raw Configure.

If it is still at the default which is:

<startup>
    options = -Xms128m -Xmx2048m -Duser.language=en -Duser.country=US

 

then double it to:

<startup>
    options = -Xms256m -Xmx4096m -Duser.language=en -Duser.country=US
