Opened: Jul 25, 2022
Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

The signature engine in BD uses more CPU cycles than it actually needs to complete the task.

Impact

Slower system performance High CPU utilization with BD

Conditions

ASM provisioned and in use

Workaround

For header-based signatures that appear on the top in ACY_PERF, the header exclusions can be added only on explicit headers. This should decrease the CPU usage.

Fix Information

None
