RSA Product/Service Type: ECAT Agent

IssueAfter installing ECAT 4.x agent, the system starts to run slowly.
High CPU utilization is noticed and reviewing running processes from the Task Manager reveals it is caused by the ECAT agent process.
CauseECAT is a high priority process and hence always consumes the required CPU resource before other processes unless Agent CPU throttling is enabled.
ResolutionTo prevent the ECAT agent from taking a high CPU utilization, please follow the steps below to enable Agent CPU throttling.
  1. Log in to ECAT server UI.
  2. Click Configure -> Global Parameters.
  3. In the Agent CPU throttling section, check the Enabled checkbox as shown below and leave the values as the default unless there is a specific need to change them.
