Our Bamboo Server (Atlassian Bamboo version 5.14.4.1 build 51417 - 12 Jan 17) on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS has been running painfully slowly for a couple of weeks.  I logged into the server, ran top, and saw the following:

 

  PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND
 1351 bamboo    20   0  222692   3376   1024 S 100.0  0.1  40:39.93 polkitd
 1350 bamboo    20   0  222692   3384   1024 S  99.7  0.1  40:38.74 polkitd

I have tried to figure out what these processes are doing, but I have seen nothing interesting.

ps:

ubuntu@ip-172-31-32-221:~$ sudo ps -ef | grep 1351
bamboo    1351     1 93 16:24 ?        00:43:54 ./polkitd -c oybmfqrnv.conf -t 1

Strace:

Looks like it's just waiting.

ubuntu@ip-172-31-32-221:~$ sudo strace -f -p 1350
strace: Process 1350 attached with 4 threads

tcpdump:

Not much happening.
