High CPU utilizaton on Windows 2019

Hi,

I would like to inform you about the issue when using the extension with Windows 2019.

We are observing intermittent prolonged high CPU utilization which is showing up in the event logs as WMI errors. When inspecting the logs we found that the following line is the culprit:

powershell -nologo -noprofile -executionpolicy unrestricted Import-Module C:\Packages\Plugins\Chef.Bootstrap.WindowsAzure.ChefClient\1210.12.110.1002\bin\chef-install.psm1;Install-ChefClient] [16400.13644] [ExecQuery: select * from Win32_Product]

After removing the extension but leaving Chef installed on the machine, there are no errors

Hello @sgkoutscloudreach, can you please try to upgrade your azure-chef-extension version as the one you are using is too old and we are not able to reproduce the same on latest azure-chef-extension version.

Hi @ayushbhatt29. I didn't have a chance to test the servers that had issues but I can confirm that other Windows 2019 servers do not have the same issue, so it appears to be related to the version of the extension

@sgkoutscloudreach so can we close this issue as it's not exist on latest versions ?
