I was just hoping to find so more solid information regarding this. I was able to find this information:

IOJ-1927932 Agent, Inventory:

Invalid inventory directory exclusions using wildcards may cause high CPU usage and ndtrack process seg faults on UNIX-like operating systems

Please don't specify wildcard within the path set to configure include or exclude directory paths e.g. */oracle/*backup/

From this article - https://docs.flexera.com/FlexNetManagerSuite2020R2/EN/Status/Issues/UnresolvedIssues.htm

But I was hoping to be able to go back to my team with some more solid information.

We currently have 3 AIX machines that are currently AIX 7.2.5.208 TL05. The team has had ongoing issues with these machines for the past few years and high CPU usage. But we haven't had any other teams reporting the same sort of issues with AIX machines.

They have increased all different specs to do with the machines but still face the same issues. With even more CPU/virtual hardware that gets added the more resource's ndtrack just ends up using.

Is there any solid explanation I can give the team besides " using wildcards may cause high CPU usage and ndtrack process seg faults on UNIX-like operating systems"
