Pihole-ftl cpu usage

Please follow the below template, it will help us to help you!

Expected Behaviour:

much lower cpu load

Actual Behaviour:

Debug Token:

m5lzhitvvf

this is a vm running on a intel nuc NUC7i5BNH with 2/4 cores assigned. additionally the unbound process on the same mashine which pihole is forwarding 99% of its queries is running recursive and bored anyway.

I have to admit there are "couple" of ptr requests sourcing from an netflow appliance but these requests exists since ever and the load wasnt that high in the past.

Thanks for helping!

With your number of blocklists (63) and gravity list size (1,376,172 domains), combined with NULL blocking (new default for V4.0), this does not appear unusual. This thread has a good explanation of memory and CPU usage in V4.

thanks @jfb - I've double checked the requests and I can confirm there a TON of ptrs so I suspect the load is indeed as it should.

can be closed :slight_smile:
