High CPU Slowing system - Ubuntu

Post by cygnusnsf »

Hi All, my first post and whilst on the whole the install went smoothly following instructions and script, I have found that the www-data user has a number of entries and is using large amounts of CPU on my Ubuntu System.
The Ubuntu Version is 18.04
Zoneminder 1.32.3
htop shows the details as per the file attached

I have also included the ZM log for reference. As a Noobie some pointers would be appreciated as I have ensured the updates are applied but still seems to return to these levels even after reboot.

Its a relatively new setup (few weeks) and seems to work but just very CPU hungry in my mind for a single camera setup which is in MOCORD and at 4 fps.

All help greatly appreciated as my ears are now bleeding from the fan spin!! :-)

OK so might have been little premature but appears after going to Black and While and reducing the size from Full HD to 720p on the camera the load has reduced I guess it just the pc being under sized to run to much?

OMG and the fan has almost stopped I can hear again!!!
Lesson one completed - RTFM!

Thanks alll
