Hi, any body know what the mean of ts_kmp on mikrotik ROS 7.18 profile? why used resources very high?
Hi! I also started looking for why ts_kmp loads the CPU. Especially when checking the Internet speed.
I had several rules in a firewall of this format:
Chain=forward, protocol=tcp, In.interface=WAN, Content=Site Name, Action=drop.
I disabled these rules and the problem disappeared.
ts_kmp in MikroTik RouterOS 7.18 (Tools → Profile) refers to kernel memory protection / kernel page management activity. It usually spikes due to heavy packet processing, fasttrack interactions, firewall rules, queues, or buggy drivers/scripts. Occasional usage is normal, but consistently high ts_kmp can indicate CPU stress from routing/filtering or a RouterOS bug. Updating to the latest stable, reviewing firewall/mangle rules, and disabling unused features typically reduces it.
