Hi,

there appears to be something wrong with your configuration with the amount of zombie processes.

I reviewed my XG115w and it has 0 zombies.

Hi,

Ian

What do the zombie processes represent?  Anyway to track the issue down?  If I was to rebuild and restore from backup would I be bringing the problem with me?

Hi,

I would suggest you review all your firewall and NAT rules before rebuilding to ensure you don't have any loops.

Ian

I did clean of some linked NAT rules that were migrated from old versions.  And refined existing rules.  Also deleted anything I was not using.  If the rules run top down I am not sure how a loop can occur.  Regardless, the cleanup didn't hurt.  Zombie processes are still around 24k in top and 2300 showing in ATOP.

So, I guess that did not have an impact, yet.

Hi,

did you restart the XG?

Ian
