The core and memory restriction is set in the package systemd service file. CPUAffinity=0 is used to restrict all threads to the first core.

Compactor always runs separate threads for raw pcap output, ignored pcap output and C-DNS output as well as any output compression. If more cores are allocated, the maximum traffic speed compactor can process increases.

Hi All,

I'm a new user who is considered to use compactor with production level.

when I read user-guide in wiki page(pdf version), I found some text as below:

By default, installing compactor via a binary package and running it as a service
restricts compactor to using just one physical core. Increasing the number of cores
available may, depending on the configuration, increase the maximum throughput
of compactor .

According to this message, I think, the way of using multi core (pysical or logical) is available.
How can I use it? Apart from compression, can using multi core?

Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks.
