Collector Service High CPU

Hi,

I noticed my vCenter VM was showing unusually high CPU usage today, so I went in to check. The vCenter Collector Service (CollectorServerHost.exe) was running at close to 100% utilisation constantly, so I removed the one (and only) collection task and (when that made no difference) tried to restart the service (which got it stuck in the 'starting' state)

So, I rebooted the vCenter server, which made no difference either.

Guided Consolidation health status is all happy, and there was nothing untoward that I could spot in the GC log file (vmwarecp.log IIRC).

Any suggestions? Maybe it'll thrash itself out overnight and be ok in the morning.... ?:|

Cheers,

Iain

It seems to have settled down now... I'll keep an eye on it!
