Hi Ludovic, Thanks for the quick response! I’ve edited the service as you noted, and the CPU load looks a lot better now.
I did notice that the packetfence-fingerbank-collector service is now constantly restarting, only surviving for a few seconds. Is this the intended behaviour with this configuration?

During these times, I’ve seen CPU spikes as high as 90% utilization. I have already increased the core count of my VM from 6 to 8 cores, and while that has helped a bit, I’m a bit scared as to what I’ll need to scale it to for a full deployment. Right now, I have ~1000 devices registered, but once fully rolled out that will be ~14000 clients. My current VM has 8 cores, 32 gigs of ram allocated to it, on a hybrid SSD/HDD storage setup on Nutanix. Has anyone else with a similar environment to mine encountered issues like these, and what you might’ve done to mitigate this, or would my best bet to keep pumping resources into this one VM, or even scaling out and clustering? Thanks!
