High CPU usage by sisamddaemon on the following:
Decrease the default thread count for scans threads in the antimalware.ini file on the SEP for Linux -DCS/CWP agent.
su - sisips
./sisipsconfig.sh -r
service sisipsagent stop
service sisidsagent stop
service sisipsutil stop
service sisamddaemon stop
[root@generic ~] # /usr/lib/symantec/stop.sh
Stopping Agent..
vi /opt/Symantec/sdcssagent/AMD/system/AntiMalware.ini
vi /opt/Symantec/sdcssagent/AMD/system/AntiMalware.ini.1
#Max number of Scan threads can be 16.
#Requires service restart to apply.
amdmanagement.ondemand.scan.threads=4
#Max number of AutoProtect Scan threads can be 16.
#Requires service restart to apply.
amdmanagement.ap.scan.threads=4
:wq
service sisipsagent start
service sisidsagent start
service sisipsutil start
service sisamddaemon start
[root@generic ~] # /usr/lib/symantec/start.sh
Restarting Agent..
su - sisips
./sisipsconfig.sh -s
The more threads are being assigned to AP, the more load is being put on CPU, and the faster SEP accomplishes the real-time scan on target files, and the vice versa is true.
