[Freeswitch-users] Freeswitch 1.4.15 and a sudden jump in CPU usage

Wed Feb 11 18:49:20 MSK 2015

i think it's bug of freeswitch:

-- the Freeswitch using more than 1000% CPU, and there is no other
process eating CPU
-- we move all SIP traffic from the server away, the cpu is low. and
after sevral hours, if we move the SIP traffic back again, the FS
eating all CPU again. the only way to recovery is to restart the FS.
-- there is no DB such as mysql on the server, and we have add "nosql"
option, no help
