[rancid] Rancid - High CPU on PE's and CE's

[Shane Haslem]

Hi all,

I have a problem with high CPU utilization on CE's and Pe's that are
being captured via rancid. Is this symptomatic of too many commands
being issued?

Regards

The commands are sequential, so you might see a spike over an interval of
time when 10-15 commands are executed in a minute or two. My guess is it
is a few specific commands that are cpu-bound, though. You could cut the
command list back to the bare essentials and reduce the CPU effects?

sure, some commands consume cpu, whether run by rancid or a user. show run
on a cisco with a bunch of pppoe is a perfect example. its the generation
of the output, nothing else, that is costly for the router. if you want to
limit it, collect less frequently.

Hi John,
Can you advise how to decrease the number of commands to just ' show
running-config'. In otherwards, where I find the commands that are run
and remove redundant ones from the config.
thanks
