Ok, so now it only does dhcp fingerprinting?

Any downsides?

it's the tcp fingerprinting , each packet is scanned.

That definitely changed the cpu usage.

Now it is down to 1-5%.

What does this exactly? What did I just disable feature wise?

Hello,
it depends on what the fingerbank-collector is facing as traffic.

You can try that to reduce the cpu usage

# systemctl edit packetfence-fingerbank-collector.service

In the editor that opens, add:

[Service]
Environment=COLLECTOR_DISABLE_TCP_HANDLER=true

Close the editor, then do:

# systemctl daemon-reload
# systemctl restart packetfence-fingerbank-collector

Fabrice

Hi,

I've been using packetfence for a few years now and am very happy for all it 
brings to the table 😉.

One question I have had for a while now is what the normal cpu usage for the 
fingerbank-collector is.
It has always been the process with the highest load on my (standalone) server 
even though my users aren't that dynamic.

Anyone whom can shed some light on this?

See screenshot for reference
