Hey CS Lee,
Well that is curious.  Is it just because they all share the same configuration?

Not sure what you're trying to do, but if you want to run analytics on bivio2,
because you can run single instances of radium on mgt0,  you can have 2
radium(bivio2).  One radium to collect from bivio1 and offer records to the
analytics running on the cores, and another to collect records from the core
based analytics to get the processed data (alarms / alerts / summaries)
to send out of bivio2.

Is that even close to what you would want to do?

Bivio scales the process to multiple CPUs, and because it has 12 cores, 12 instances of radium are racing to connect to argus on bivio 1, and all these 12 instances of radium are getting same copies of data from argus as all of them are hitting 100% CPU usage, and because of that as well, argus can't serve anymore client, that's why I saw the timeout problem. The other argus client can retrieve data when one of radium released the connection again.

Therefore even if I can change argus to accept more than 12 instances of client, the issue lies in all the radium instances in Bivio are capturing the same data and that makes things worse because of duplication and intensive computing resource usage.
