Hi,

My server got a klogd running which takes 98% of CPU Process. The load is 1.35. Quite high!

What is klogd?
What does it do?

I don't want to reboot the server soon, since
I just reboot it yesterday. Is it safe just to kill klogd?

Thanks for your input.

klogd is the kernel logging daemon. It prioritizes and processes OS messages.

you could have a problem with your /proc filesystem going batty or servicing too many requests. Do you have a firewall on that machine? That may be getting hammered as well. Something is sending a very large amount of kernel level errors. Read the man page for klogd, you might want to tweak its logging level to help you to determine the problem.
