Obviously there is an issue with UserID consuming massive resources on 5.0.2 (if not 5.0 generally).

PAN - Can we expect a hotfix release anytime soon to address this?

Same problem here with useridd using 100% cpu. PA-2050

Seems to be an common issue for most users with 2000 series?

I will open an case with support.

Same here - 2020's and 2050's as well as 4060's - had to take 2000's back to 5.0.1 as commits and FQDN refreshes started failing.  4060's still running 5.0.2, but userid consuming LOTS of cpu constantly, but I suppose the beefier platform is handling it.  Already reported to PAN but yet to hear back on how they intend to fix.

Do you use a dedicated pan-agent server or do you use the new builtin pan-agent feature of panos 5.x ?

[DaveM]

I've got two dedicated pan-agent servers - I've also upgraded these to the latest version - made no difference.
