Hi, we also run into that problem.
We had one 'ILMT-guy' here that fixed the config for s390x servers.
So we are down to 0.2 - 0.3 % (if I remember correctly)

Thanks Shannon and Harley. I'll pass this onto our big fix people!
Good to know it can be beaten into better behavior (although that should be the
default out of the box !)

We are too. According to my BigFix guy, he created a "group and site with
auto-membership based on the OS-name" that throttled the cpu the clients are
allowed to use (.5% in our case--looks like Harley's folk let them have a
little more) and restricted gathering the inventory to what we determined was
the off-hours (think it turns out to be 5-6 in the morning). So any new s390x
server that comes online with the bigfix client installed and checks in to the
hub would get those settings automatically.
Does that help any? It's kinda greek to me, but I'm hoping it'll make sense to
anyone familiar with bigfix customization. I do know that since we did it, we
haven't had any issues.

I am. The team that manages BigFix on the x86 server tweaked a setting so that
it didn't check the z servers quite as often. The change they made, which they
didn't tell me what it was, reduced the CPU percentage to .7 per server.

aka BESClient
We're seeing 1-2% cpu per guest.
While that's not a big deal on a x86 standalone box, it's a big deal on a box
with 400 servers on it.
Hoping it's tunable...
