node.js - Sails js application driving CPU usage to 100% -

i'm building application using sails , every time leave server running more few minutes cpu jumps solid 100% usage. i'm including big amount of less files in assets , believe issue lies here. there other reasons may happen?

it grunt-watch, when have lot of files squeezes cpu. try disabling , check if cpu gets normal usage (6-30% depending on cpu , overall usage).

to go tasks/register/default.js , remove 'watch' array.

module.exports = function (grunt) {     grunt.registertask('default', ['compileassets', 'linkassets',  'watch']); }; 

if don't want disable grunt watcher, go tasks/config/watch.js , try excluding folder has of files, or exclude them if not in particular folder.

i'll give example of how exclude folder task. add ! before path want exclude.

module.exports = function(grunt) {      grunt.config.set('watch', {         // config can ignore in case         assets: {              // assets watch:             files: ['assets/**/*',               'tasks/pipeline.js', '!**/node_modules/**',               '!assets/folder-to-exlude/**' // <-- here excluded path              ],              // more code         }     });      grunt.loadnpmtasks('grunt-contrib-watch'); }; 

i had similar issue , worked me, let me know if works.
