CPD crashed/terminated without a Core Dump or the process is consuming high CPU utilization

Hi All,

I am facing with this issue:

[ERROR] CPD (pid_of_cpd) did not send keep-alive message for x number of times

https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk101484

on a VSX environment.

The cpwd.elg exist only on the vs0, however the issue arose in one of the VSs.

Do I need to move the files in VS0, or the affected VS too?

Akos

Both SK's below states you have to go the correct vs and not vs0

Although the versions are bit older i still think they are relevant for this question

For de CPD issue. I have seen this issue in an older take, get's solved in higher take and then got introduced again in a newer take. What take you are running?

If it is old take and known CPD bug issue reboot is most quick way. After long period time it will come back but in meantime you can plan upgrade.

This was a known issue not too long ago, at least on the management servers.  I posted a script in the Check Mates Toolbox a while back that you can run as a scheduled job.

This may help you until you get a recent Jumbo HFA on it.

Hopefully upgrade to R81.20 should fix it...

Hey brother,

AI copilot gives something similar, but take it for what its worth 🙂

It seems that the CPD (Check Point Daemon) process on your gateway is experiencing issues, as indicated by the error message[ERROR] CPD (pid_of_cpd) did not send keep-alive message for x number of times. This can lead to problems with SIC communication and policy installation.

Here are the steps to resolve this issue:

  1. Stop the Check Point services:

    cpstop
    
  2. Remove the problematic CPEPS tables:

    cd $CPDIR/database/cpeps
    mkdir /var/cpeps
    mv CPEPS* /var/cpeps
    
  3. Start the Check Point services:

    cpstart
    

The CPEPS tables will be recreated after CPD starts.

Note: If you are using Maestro blades, the changes must be implemented on all SGMs and require a reboot.

If the issue persists, it is recommended to contact Check Point Support for further assistance. They may need to runstraceon$CPDIR/bin/cpdto confirm the cause of the high CPU utilization or other underlying issues.
