At this point, would it be more advisable to attempt to split up the load? Has 
anyone had experience with running two separate instances of NFSEN on the same 
machine? My main concern here is I'm guessing this would disrupt the dddflow 
plugin we are using.

As it stands, we have 17 separate collector processes due to the port 
configurations (I've also attached our nfsen.conf). Would it be more beneficial 
to aggregate or split these up (or if that would have little to no affect)

I have noticed the following event,

Get a few entries like this,

I'm not sure if this is usual operation?

Yes, getting a lot of the following messages:

Jun 13 12:57:38 nfsen nfsen[14798]: Behind schedule Jun 13 13:03:37 nfsen 
nfsen[14798]: Behind schedule Jun 13 13:09:09 nfsen nfsen[14798]: Behind 
schedule

Post CPU upgrade, CPU usage is remaining under 20% on average but the nfdump 
process hits 100% pretty regularily

The disks are SSD over NFS. I haven't seen anything telling in the iowait but 
seems the next best target. I may have to look into using the local storage 
over NFS-SSD but I think these are 15k disks :(

Thanks for taking the time to assist!

Do you get any output from

fgrep schedu /var/log/messages


30 kflows/s is quite a number.

Are your disks fast enough? (SSD or something rotating?)

Too me it looks familiar when my CPUs do not process the RRDs in time.
