Higher than normal CPU

M470 12.10.4

I've recently noticed my firebox running at higher than normal cpu levels.
After a reboot things are normal for a while then then cpu usage climbs again.
According to the Status Report this process seems to be the culprit with the %cpu running at 49.75%

3194 R 49.75 30824 25176 11264 Tue Nov 12 19:49:36 2024 1392:04.10 /usr/bin/admd -f

What is this process and what can I do if anything to reduce the cpu usage?

Thanks!

It's usually something simple.

    No idea what admd is.

    However, V12.11 is now out so perhaps this version addresses the issue.

    There is this fix in it:
    This release resolves an issue that caused high CPU usage when a USB drive was plugged in. [FBX-24321]

    So stop using the firebox to charge my cell phone then?
    Actually there is nothing plugged into any USB ports on the firebox.
    I may wait until 12.11.x before I upgrade. Sorta make it a habit of never upgrading to a new build # until the bug revisions come out.

    I opened a support case the the issue caused my SSL-VPN and SSO to cease functioning.

    This was the issue:

    Had to upgrade to 12.11 anyhow to resolve the bug.
