I have a test machine that is a nuc6 with an i5 and 32G of ram and SSD disks.

It is configured as a single host environment with Self Hosted Engine VM.

Both host and SHE are CentOS 7.2 and oVirt version is 3.6.6.2-1.el7

I notice that having 3 VMs powered on and making nothing special (engine VM, a CentOS 7 VM and a Fedora 24 VM) the ovirt-ha-agent process on host often spikes its cpu usage.

See for example this quick video with top command running on host that reflects what happens continuously.

Is it normal that ovirt-ha-agent consumes all this amount of cpu?

Going into /var/log/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/agent.log I see nothing special, only messages of type "INFO". The same for broker.log

Thanks,

Gianluca
