Description of problem: I find these heat up the system a lot 18928 root 20 0 993468 19648 19288 R 45.6 0.2 16:22.11 journalctl _UID=1000 -b 18927 19260 root 20 0 992092 16508 16140 R 45.6 0.2 9:07.41 journalctl _UID=1000 -b 19259 18228 root 20 0 988344 44256 43892 R 45.3 0.6 64:23.13 journalctl _UID=1000 -b 18227 18932 root 20 0 1000628 19604 19240 R 43.3 0.2 16:15.63 journalctl _UID=1000 -b 18931 19264 root 20 0 996372 16440 16080 R 41.6 0.2 9:08.67 journalctl _UID=1000 -b 19263 18520 root 20 0 991832 37732 37364 R 41.0 0.5 47:11.90 journalctl _UID=1000 -b 18519 18680 root 20 0 992896 23460 23100 R 40.6 0.3 26:53.42 journalctl _UID=1000 -b 18679 18277 root 20 0 988344 45312 44952 R 39.6 0.6 61:53.62 journalctl _UID=1000 -b 18276 18350 root 20 0 988344 44536 44176 R 37.3 0.6 59:48.80 journalctl _UID=1000 -b 18349 I cannot know what causes all these journactl to run, I close all the desktop apps maybe only gnome-terminal left open and running. I cannot tell if there is any pattern in the way these multiple process come to existence. How can I gather any useful debugging information for further troubleshooting?

I'll take a wild guess, and mark this as duplicate. (You can try 'systemctl status <PID>' to find the service). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1043670 ***
my situation I'm inclined to attribute it to (directly or not) Firefox. it seems that after so many firefox windows and tabs open these processes would pop up. Seems like when there is flash content in the browser this happens but at the same time I must say closing/killing firefox does not relief journalctl processes, at least not in a short time right after. And not really abrt doing anything, moreover I clean the list of event recorded by abrt.
What does 'systemctl status <PID>' say about those processes?
looking at it further, it might be related, I see multiple: grep -F -e plugin-container and abrt logs but! is unable to report it further up Firefox: Firefox C/C++ plugin-container killed by SIGSEGV when I try to report it: --- Running report_uReport --- Unable to open './core_backtrace': Permission denied. reporter-ureport failed with exit code 1 ('report_uReport' exited with 1) I try to upload for analysis: --- Running report_uReport --- Unable to open './core_backtrace': Permission denied. reporter-ureport failed with exit code 1 ('report_uReport' exited with 1) --- Running report_EmergencyAnalysis --- Compressing data Can't create temporary file in /var/tmp So, in my case it's Firefox and abrt which first cannot handle this error case and then there is that other bug.
is it possible to exclude an app from programs that abrt is watching for?
(In reply to lejeczek from comment #5) > is it possible to exclude an app from programs that abrt is watching for? You cat put either package or path on blacklist in /etc/abrt/abrt-action-save-package-data.conf
