High cpu utilization

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

Hello
I’m running Asterisk 1.4.0 on Mandriva 2007, AMD Athlon 3200 CPU, 1G RAM.

I see that CPU load is very high without any calls!

top - 14:26:15 up 30 days, 47 min,  1 user,  load average: 1.03, 1.01, 1.00
Tasks:  72 total,   2 running,  68 sleeping,   0 stopped,   2 zombie

What’s wrong?

Is it possible to see per-module CPU usage within the Asterisk?
Thanks!

Does this happen all of the time or only after making a call or some other call related activity?

As I sad initially - without any calls or activity.

No activity at all, just 1 SIP phone and 2 provider’s trunks registered.

If you reboot does this occur immediately? Are you using any G.729 licenses?

I’ve restarted the Asterics and problem is gone. It seems it was caused by really large number of ‘module reload’.

Anyway, it will be good to know how to check per-module cpu utilization within the Asterisk. Is it possible?
