<p>I'm using the SeleniumGrid in the most recent version <code>4.1.2</code> in a Kubernetes cluster.</p>
<p>In many cases (I would say in about half) when I execute a test through the grid, the node fails to kill the processes and does not go back to being idle. The container then keeps using one full CPU all the time until I kill it manually.</p>
<p>The log in the container is the following:</p>
<pre><code>10:51:34.781 INFO [NodeServer$1.lambda$start$1] - Sending registration event...
10:51:35.680 INFO [NodeServer.lambda$createHandlers$2] - Node has been added

<p>Did I misconfigure anything? Has anyone any idea how I can fix this?</p>

<p>If you don't need to use Xvfb you can remove it from your code and your problem will be resolved.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Apparently the issue resolves when removing the <code>START_XVFB</code> parameter. With a node with only the timezone config I did not yet have the problem.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>For the workaround you can try to change your driver for example to <a href="https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Chromedriver</a>. You can read about the differences between them <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41460168/what-is-difference-between-xvfb-and-chromedriver-and-when-to-use-them">here</a>.</p>
<p>See also <a href="https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/docker-selenium/issues/1500" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this similar problem</a>.</p>
