CPU spike from firewall php proccess

Hello,

About once a minute I see a php related CPU spike from /var/www/html/admin/modules/firewall/bin/getservices. Sometimes it’s only 5% other times it’s over 50%. When it spikes higher it affects call quality.

Full disclosure, I am new to all this, so please go easy on me. What you see below is about the extent of my investigation skills without some guidance. Everything is up to date, this is a brand new install only handling 5 extensions.

Any help is much appreciated!

ps aux output:
asterisk 8466 53.0 1.4 415132 26404 ? Rs 00:07 0:00 php /var/www/html/admin/modules/firewall/bin/getservices

(The screenshot was taken at another time so the pid is not the same in the screenshot)

That should be completing so quickly it would be hard to catch with either top or ps.

What happens i you run from the console (don’t worry - it’s safe):

/sbin/runuser asterisk -c /var/www/html/admin/modules/firewall/bin/getservices

It should complete in much less than one second and output a screen full of json encoded settings.

Hi, thanks for the reply! Yeah, I can catch it consistently with both and I have some audio breakup when it runs.

When I ran that it completed in less than a second. Here is the output:

[root@pbx ~]# /sbin/runuser asterisk -c /var/www/html/admin/modules/firewall/bin/getservices

Just wondering if anyone had any other suggestions for this?

Thanks!
