Hi,

I can't really tell what started it, but since a few weeks ago, my spacewalk 
2.3's jabberd is running differently than before.
Spacewalk server is a CentOS 6.11, managing about ~350 systems ranging from 
centos 5-32 to centos 7-64.

Now, despite having cleanned /var/lib/jabberd/db/* several times and rcreating 
auth client-side by deleting /etc/sysconfig/rhn/osad-auth.conf, I still face 
this roblem :

Jabberd's "sm" process consumes 20% CPU all the time, I bet plenty of I/O but 
99% hits disk cache, and generates >1GB of Berkeley DB recovery log per day.
A few month ago, we didn't even have to bother cleaning up db logs, and now 
it's twice a day (using recommended procedure from doc through db_archive -d)
>From strace logs, the process is perpetually re-reading the sm.db file, and 
>then sends routes to router process who forward them to the c2s process

That frequency of "doing things" does not seem to correlate with how often 
osa-dispatcher sends pingsn yet most of the inter-process communication seems 
to be between osa-dispatcher and c2s...

Well, all of this puzzles me, as I have no deep knowledge of jabberd... did 
anyone ever meet this problem ?
