gremlin.canonical saturating my broadband

I am seeing consistent packet push from gremlin.canonical which is really saturating my connection. Little investigation on the box reveals this has something to do with woopsie.

I have say this has been going on for almost 3hrs and till pushing traffic measurement of about 400kb. Should I block this, or could this be some sort of auto updates coming through?!

Answer

whoopsie is the daemon that sends error reports up to Ubuntu. Sounds like you’ve got something that’s crashing lots behind the scenes. It would be worth investigating to see what the problem really is.

Other than that, you can disable whoopsie:
