Thanks for getting abck. My mistake. Sorry, yes it is v1.4.18. but I doubt that it is directly associated to freeswitch. At least for now since the cpu went up after a strange case of IP issue on OS level. So my question is more a general one.

Thanks. Well maybe it has something to do with the daemon script that we started using additionaly: it has the daemon args -nc Attached the whole script.

I recall that earlier versions of CentOS 6 had some kind of problem related to the clock, but I thought 6.6 solved that problem. Also, please check that FreeSWITCH is being started with the -np switch, or at least NOT started with the -rp switch. Hope this helps.

I thought that these are priority settings they you can set depending on your env too?! My daemon starts with –nc only. Is that wrong? Anyway. Yesterday I switched from the high loaded cpu machine to another one. During this time 5 calls (yes, five) caused a usage of all 8 cores with 2 ht cores consuming 100% of the esxi cpu power with round about 24GHz. But the calls were handled flawless and went totally normal. A service restart did not bring freeswitch up and it was stuck in the state: Service freeswitch dead but subsys locked Which was due to a stale pid file based on a crashed stop or start. But why this cpu spike happened is the big question. I will monitor it and give feedback if I find something.
