Sophos Data Recorder service using high CPU on servers

Chris Toppin

Last night Sophos end point was updated on ours servers.

Today we are having multiple issue on most productions servers and finding this is due to the Sophos Data Recorder using 25%-50% of CPU constantly.

Anyone see this and know how to resolve the issue?

Thanks,

Rich

    If you restart the SDR service, does it immediately start using the CPU or does it take a while?

    Yes,

    When the service does restart it goes back to taking up 25% or 50% CPU

     OK, out of interest, have you signed up to the EAP program -  "Intercept X New Features"?: Accessible here: https://cloud.sophos.com/manage/eap

    If you were to sign up and add a single endpoint (Win10 is fine), this would install Sophos System Protection (SSP) 2.7.0.7 which comes with SDRService.exe version 1.1.0.2.

    If I look on a standard endpoint, SSP is version 2.6.0.71 and SDRService.exe is version 1.0.0.10.  I assume on your servers you have the same 1.0.0.10 version of this file: "C:\Program Files\Sophos\Sophos Data Recorder\SDRService.exe". 

    If you can take a copy of "C:\Program Files\Sophos\Sophos Data Recorder\SDRService.exe" version 1.1.0.2 and put it on a computer with the problem does it go away?  

    I wonder if this is fixed in a later version.

    Regards,
