Hi Matthew, We applied this change to node 4, started it up, and it seems much happier (no crazy CPU). We’re going to keep an eye on it for a little while, and then apply this setting to all the other nodes as well.
Is there anything we can do to prevent this scenario in the future, or should the settings you suggested take care of that?
