I've seen similar topics here, but none seem to quite work. XG Home VM, v20, with a pretty minimal ruleset. I'm really the only person on my home network. At some random times the VM will go to 90-100% CPU usage and stay there. This has happened at 2 in the morning when nothing is really being used. Traffic through the XG will usually stop flowing when this happens. TOP shows that snort is the top process on both CPUs when this happens, followed by conntrack. If I drop the snort service, I regain about 50% of my CPU. The only thing that actually fixes the issue for a time is to use the console to purge logs and reboot.
I'm about at the point where I just want to rebuild from scratch, as I can't pin down the event that causes this. Any advice?
