Hello all,

I’m not sure if this was talked about? I was playing around with WSL2 and installed netdata inside of ubuntu and it ran at a high cpu usage.

We have some reports on Github, see [High CPU usage by netdata after upgrade from 1.23 to 1.24 · Issue #9727 · netdata/netdata · GitHub](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/issues/9727)

Can you provide some more details in the issue? It will help us track it down. In theory WSL2 (unlike WSL1) shouldn’t matter much.
