After I was drilling down in Network accounting (which kind of works now!), I tried to view details for the last 7 days for my laptop IP address. Upon clicking update, the system went into a very bogged down state. I got the timeout message asking if I wanted to wait or abort, and I clicked abort. Upong doing so, about 20 seconds later I got a message saying it was aborted.
CPU usage on the Dashboard has been 100% for the last 15 minutes, and running Top shows confd using 95% cpu.
Attached is a screenshot of a putty session running top, as well as the confd-debug.log and mdwdebug.log files from that time.
