I'm running Natty server on the rackspace cloud and rsyslogd as been churning away usin 197% CPU (quad core machine I believe) for the past few days. Is there anything I can do to figure out what is going on?

I know this is old now but I had this issue on a Virtual private server I am running. It was Ubuntu server and I believe it was 10.10.

I found this page: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/rsyslog/+bug/523610

And it suggested to me a problem with the kernel so changed it to use the latest (through a web interface, the company is running Xen.) and that solved my problem.

This happened back in July 2011 (a couple of months ago) and I can't remember which version of the kernel I was using but now I'm using version 3.0.0...
