I just downloaded and installed splunk 4.1.4 and installed on WIN7 laptop. Upon reboot of my system, the CPU pegged at 100% for over 1/2 hour, causing my other apps and web browser problems. Task manager ID'ed the splunkd service as the culprit, it was consuming so much CPU the spunkweb service can not even start. upon manual start of the splunkweb, I could access my UI but of course very slow.
If I stop splunkd service my cpu and mem return to what I consider "normal" levels, even with splunkweb still running, but restart splunkd and BAM CPU peggs to 100% everytime.
Is there a way to limit CPU resources to splunk? I don't mind giving up some cpu resources, but if the thing is going to EAT my whole system resources, it is a worthless tool for me!
