What does the 'rtcli async executor process' process do on a Cisco ASA and why would it cause high CPU load?

I noticed that the CPU on our ASA had jumped from around %4 to 30% consistently a few weeks back.  The process below seems to be causing the load, but I can't find any information on what it does and how to resolve the issue.
ASA# sh proc cpu-usage sorted non-zero
PC         Thread       5Sec     1Min     5Min   Process
0x08a24505   0x1bdb0124    25.4%    25.6%    25.6%   rtcli async executor process
0x081ecc51   0x1bdc0f3c     4.7%     4.3%     4.1%   Dispatch Unit
0x08e4687c   0x1bdc0528     0.3%     0.3%     0.3%   ssm4ge_cfg_poll_thread
0x08a496d0   0x1bdbecf8     0.1%     0.1%     0.1%   Unicorn Admin Handler
0x0866d56e   0x1bdafd1c     0.1%     0.1%     0.1%   ARP Thread
A little more background that has me concerned is that I have the exact time when the jump occurred.  Since that time, I've lost ssh access to the ASA and can only access it via Telnet internally or the ASDM.  I checked the certificates and a new one was generated exactly when the spike occurred.  I am unsure wether or not that was a system triggered certificate generation, or if I have a security issue I need to address.  Heartbleed maybe??  
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry I wasn't clear, but when I was asking about "not a lot of traffic", I was wondering about actual  volume passing through the 2811.
When I asked about "kind of tunnels", I was wondering about how they are configured.  E.g. GRE or IPSec/GRE or VTI, encryption options, other tunnel interface options.
Perhaps the easiest way to check for fragmentation, is packet analyze the traffic passing through the 2811.

    my ati radeon 9600 pro can almost run as fast as a 5700U (non o/c) so if you get a 9600XT i bet it o/c well to     (6K+ in 3dmark03) and i readed a lot about 9600XT giving better quality pics

  • What's the recommended setting for "Process memory usage" ("process virtual" in UI) for a 64-bit host on a 64-bit OS?

    Hi gurus
    In resource based throttling, what's the recommended setting for "Process memory usage" ("process virtual" in the resource based throttling tab of the UI) for a 64-bit host
    on a 64-bit Windows OS?
    According to MS (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee308808(v=bts.10).aspx):
    "By default, the
    Process memory usage throttling threshold is set to 25. If this value is exceeded and the BizTalk process memory usage is more than 300 MB, a throttling condition may occur. On a 32-bit
    server, you can increase the Process memory usage value to 50. On a 64-bit server, you can increase this value to 100. This allows for more memory consumption by the BizTalk process before throttling
    occurs."
    Does this mean that 100 is the recommended setting for a 64-bit host on a 64-bit Windows?
    Thanks
    Michael Brandt Lassen

    Hi Michael,
    Recommended setting is the default setting which is 25 .dot.
    If your situation is abnormal and you see message delivery throttling state to “4” when the following performance counters are high or if you expect any of you integration
    process could have impact on following counters, then you can consider the suggestion by Microsoft. Don’t change the default setting.
    High process memory
    Process memory usage (MB)
    Process memory usage threshold (MB)
    You can see these counters under “BizTalk:MessageAgent”
    You can gauge these performance counter and its maximum values if have done any regression/performance testing in your test servers. If you have seen these counters having
    high values and causing throttling, then you can update the Process memory usage.
    Or unexpectedly you’re process high throughput messages in production which is causing these counters to go high and cause throttling, then up can update the Process memory
    usage.
    The above two cases where I know my expected process usage (by doing performance testing) or suddenly my production server processing has gone high due to unexpected business
    hike (or any reasons) which caused throttling, then do changes to default throttling setting.
    Just changing the default setting without actual reason could have adverse effect where you end up allocating 
    more processing capacities but the actual message processing message usage ever is low means you end up investing in underutilised resources.

  • What is the difference for page processes in Firefox and IE?

    I created a page that has a bunch of precesses all fired in the correct order in Firefix and every item is shown with the correct value.
    Unfortunately I was naive enough to believe that in Ie this would work as well, but for some reason items are not filled by the very same processes, and urls I am creating with them do no contain the values I fetched with the processes.
    Can anyone explain to me how I fill a lot of items and what the importance of order in the html page is?

    An HTML DB process is a server side thing, regardless of the browser used. What processes are you referring to? Processes you wrote or the builtin processes like Automatic DML and row-fetch? Are these onload or after submit processes? What does the Session State popup show in IE? The best way to "fill a lot of items" if they are all coming from the same table/view is to use the builtin row fetch process.
    Hope this helps.

  • What is the best approach to process data on row by row basis ?

    Hi Gurus,
    I need to code stored proc to process sales_orders into Invoices. I
    think that I must do row by row operation, but if possible I don't want
    to use cursor. The algorithm is below :
    for all sales_orders with status = "open"
    check for credit limit
    if over credit limit -> insert row log_table; process next order
    check for overdue
    if there is overdue invoice -> insert row to log_table; process
    next order
    check all order_items for stock availability
    if there is item that has not enough stock -> insert row to
    log_table; process next order
    if all check above are passed:
    create Invoice (header + details)
    end_for
    What is the best approach to process data on row by row basis like
    above ?
    Thank you for your help,

    Processing data row by row is not the fastest method out there. You'll be sending much more SQL statements towards the database than needed. The advice is to use SQL, and if not possible or too complex, use PL/SQL with bulk processing.
    In this case a SQL only solution is possible.
    The example below is oversimplified, but it shows the idea:
    SQL> create table sales_orders
      2  as
      3  select 1 no, 'O' status, 'Y' ind_over_credit_limit, 'N' ind_overdue, 'N' ind_stock_not_available from dual union all
      4  select 2, 'O', 'N', 'N', 'N' from dual union all
      5  select 3, 'O', 'N', 'Y', 'Y' from dual union all
      6  select 4, 'O', 'N', 'Y', 'N' from dual union all
      7  select 5, 'O', 'N', 'N', 'Y' from dual
      8  /
    Tabel is aangemaakt.
    SQL> create table log_table
      2  ( sales_order_no number
      3  , message        varchar2(100)

    SQL> create table invoices
      2  ( sales_order_no number
      3  )
      4  /
    Tabel is aangemaakt.
    SQL> select * from sales_orders
      2  /
            NO STATUS IND_OVER_CREDIT_LIMIT IND_OVERDUE IND_STOCK_NOT_AVAILABLE
             1 O      Y                     N           N
             2 O      N                     N           N
             3 O      N                     Y           Y
             4 O      N                     Y           N
             5 O      N                     N           Y
    5 rijen zijn geselecteerd.
    SQL> insert
      2    when ind_over_credit_limit = 'Y' then
      3         into log_table (sales_order_no,message) values (no,'Over credit limit')
      4    when ind_overdue = 'Y' and ind_over_credit_limit = 'N' then
      5         into log_table (sales_order_no,message) values (no,'Overdue')
      6    when ind_stock_not_available = 'Y' and ind_overdue = 'N' and ind_over_credit_limit = 'N' then

      2  /
    SALES_ORDER_NO
                 2
    1 rij is geselecteerd.

    SALES_ORDER_NO MESSAGE

  • What are the varoius type of process chain errors how we can solve them.

    Hi,

    abnormal problems for process chain errors.
    Thanks in advance .

    Hi,
    1) Invalid characters while loading: When you are loading data then you may get some special characters like @#$%...e.t.c.then BW will throw an error like Invalid characters then you need to go through this RSKC transaction and enter all the Invalid chars and execute. It will store this data in RSALLOWEDCHAR table. Then reload the data. You won't get any error because now these are eligible chars done by RSKC.
    2) IDOC Or TRFC Error: We can see the following error at u201CStatusu201D Screen:Sending packages from OLTP to BW lead to errorsDiagnosisNo IDocs could be sent to the SAP BW using RFC.System responseThere are IDocs in the source system ALE outbox that did not arrive in the ALE inbox of the SAP BW.Further analysis:Check the TRFC log.You can get to this log using the wizard or the menu path "Environment -> Transact. RFC -> In source system".Removing errors:If the TRFC is incorrect, check whether the source system is completely connected to the SAP BW. Check especially the authorizations of the background user in the source system.Action to be taken:If Source System connection is OK Reload the Data.
