My iMac is running slow and I checked Activity Monitor and there is a process named "cmsWebSvr" running. It is taking about 430% of the CPU. Does anybody know what this is and how to get rid of it? I'm running the latest version of Mojave (10.14.6).
iMac 27", macOS 10.14
In Activity Monitor select the process then click on the kill button in the top left. Click on Force Quit button in the panel. Watch to see if the process reappears, and, if it does, has the CPU usage dropped back to normal?
Do you know where the process comes from? Are you running some kind of server software?

Thanks! I killed it and that helped. I did more research and found out that it has something to do with my security camera system. But killing it doesn't do any harm and it usually comes back in a better behaved manner. So if it starts running amok I now just kill it and roll on.
