High CPU Utilization in Untangle

[deepinder27]

I have Untangle VM with NIC passthrough on PVE 6.4-8. I am noticing the VM is utilizing 100% CPU and almost all the RAM. When I restart the VM, the usage returns to normal for some time and then it again reaches 100% CPU usage. How can I see what is the cause of this high usage and how to manage it?

PS:
I am also having some weird issues with other VM (TrueNAS), don't know if it's related to this or not. After installing TrueNAS, the VM failed to get any IP through virtio, although other VMs had no issue getting the IP and accessing the internet. So I had to manually update the IP which sorted out the issue (sort of). One interface still shows 0.0.0.0

If I see it right Untangle is based on Ubuntu/Debian. You could run top inside the guest and look what processes use how much RAM/CPU.

TrueNAS is Unix and not Linux and some of the virtio and qemu stuff isn't well implemented in FreeBSD. For example the KVM process is always reserving the maximum possible RAM even if it is all unused inside the guest.

I have attached the "top" output from Untangle. kvm is using 600% CPU.

If you run top on the host you only see what the VM is using in total. Run top inside the guest to see whats really going on.

Well, this is embarrassing. I was able to log into Untangle web interface through the root password. However, I was unable to SSH into it. It did not accept the root password. Tried changing it in admin page, but no luck.
I ended up reinstalling the VM. Will post if I get any issue now. Thank you for your reply .
