High CPU usage after Wowza is started

Hello,

We are running WowzaStreamingEngine 4.0.4., because of our Wowza configuration we have to reload Wowza service daily, but in the last weeks I’ve noticed a high CPU usage on server for about 60 minutes after Wowza is restarted. After about 60 minutes everything is back to normal. What could be the reason for this? Did anyone else experienced something similar?

Thank you!

Hi,

This is not something that is easy to debug without more details. Do you have any startup streams happening? Is the Wowza server typically busy serving many streams/viewers? I would firstly use whatever tools available on your server to monitor resources, task manager type tools if Windows, top or htop on Linux etc. System and network logs may also indicate abnormal activity. If you wish us to investigate in more detail from a Wowza perspective then please do raise a ticket with us, providing the details as described here. Please reference this thread when raising the ticket if so.

Regards,

Paul

Thank you, I will open a ticket.
