Hi,
I've just upgraded from Ignition 8.1.27 to 8.3.6 and everything is running fine after a couple of fixes. I am getting some CPU Spikes that I cannot relate anything, I've changed the RAM allocation to 16GB which didn't make any difference so changed it back.
OS: Windows Server 2025 | amd64
Java: 17.0.18+8-LTS
Server:4 Core Processor, 20GB RAM
wrapper.java.initmemory=12000
wrapper.java.maxmemory=12000
Garbage Collector: G1 Young Generation, G1 Old Generation
any ideas on how to solve this would be appreciated.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Is it showing up in any behaviors? Otherwise I'd think this trend looks normal. (Perspective clients do produce spiky CPU loads as users navigate to busy screens.)
CPU seems to be getting to 95-100% and close proximity spikes seems to cause clock drift warnings.

Clock drift, degraded performance, or pause-the-world detected. Max allowed deviation=1000ms, actual deviation=-13608ms |

It does this quite frequently but not consistently, every 3-6 hours with similar deviation.
Is there really a minus sign in the actual deviation number? If so, that is a clock warp, not an actual stall, and your infrastructure is broken (HyperV?).
A clock warp can distort calculations that measure something per unit time. Meaning that you may not really have CPU spikes, just artifacts of a broken clock.
(Consider not using Windows... Its NTP services make abrupt clock changes instead of slewing the clock as done in Linux.)
