High Memory Usage - Cpanel Server
Jan 6, 2007
for the last few days, i am facing high memory usage up to 90%.
Memory usage get's high, even if i don't have many visitors online. I have to restart httpd to get the memory to normal. some times, server loads, get's high aswell.
In error logs (only unusual things i see):
Code:
[Sat Jan 6 10:37:04 2007] [error] mod_gzip: TRANSMIT_ERROR:ISMEM:104

I have a linux server that is only hosting one site , and although the httpd and mysql are working well , then the server load is high and when I restart the server the server load is high till the swap accelerates to 100% and then it uses the memory alot.

This is my free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1998 1903 95 0 45 542
-/+ buffers/cache: 1315 683
Swap: 2662 36 2625
Not good ....
I got 5 wordpress and 5 statics website on this server and 100 visitors by 24H00 each day.
Question 1 : Why the memory is so low and the swap so high ?
Question 2 : Why i don't find high usage process in top command ?
Question 3 How can i resolve this problem ?

I have a Drupal site with around 1000 visitors/day on a basic VPS. (HyperVM with lxadmin) Burstable RAM is 384MB and my site reachs it.
is this normal for a site like this?
anything that I can do to decrease the memory usage?

I purchased a VPS at wiredtree to upload a site that is in the works so that it would be "ready" once it was launched (had it sitting on a shared server before). So I have this domain on there, as well as a small wordpress blog. In total I'm get a very miniscule trickle of visitors to these websites (as they are not officially launched), around 100 visits per day, many of which are only 1 pageview visits.
My problem is, my server is already idling over its memory limit of 256mb. This is causing major slowdowns, and processes like cpanel are constantly be killed and I can't login.
Does anyone have any idea what is causing my high memory usage? I just can't image that the visitors I am getting are doing much, as for the majority of the day I have absolutely no one viewing my domains, yet my memory usage is still over the limit.
Wiredtree support says its up to me to optimize my msql/php scripts etc for low mem usage, but I don't see how this will help when there is no one using them in the first place.

I'm running hypervm on xen a centos 5 64 bit box.
The problem I'm having is that after a couple of hours of uptime Dom0 seems to have used up all of it's available memory i.e:
[root@------ ~]# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1536 1516 19 0 993 247
-/+ buffers/cache: 275 1260
Swap: 16002 0 16002
I have disabled the memory balloon driver in the xen config and set dom0_mem=1536M in grub.conf, i.e:
default=1
timeout=1
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu

I'm currently running vBulletin & two wordpress powered blogs on my box. Number of simultaneous users is about 200~250 and about 15~20 logged in users.
The memory usage is constantly in the range of 1.8 GB - 2.00 GB. Considering that total physical RAM my box has is 2 GB, the memory usage, I believe is exceptionally high.
The same site was running very well on shared hosting environment and also on VPS [with just 512 MB RAM] very fine.
What should I do to bring the memory consumption to minimum (required to run the site well?)

We are currently running plesk 11.5 and over the last few months, the apache memory usage has been very high. On investigation we have gone through the logs and we can't find a cause.
I can issue a service httpd restart and the memory drops for about 30 minutes and then we see the apache memory grow to almost 1.5 - 2GB. Why this keeps happening?

I just moved from a P4 Dual Core (2mb cache) to a Dual Xeon (512k cache) and everything has gone to sh*t.
I had the server optimized/security hardened (for the most part) and last night, I had a RAM upgrade to 4GB.
As soon as the server came back up after the upgrade, CPU usage was into the mid hundreds. RAM usage is fine....
Presently, I'm showing PHP using a ton of CPU. I tweaked mysql a little bit, and that helped slightly.
Also, last night, I had the DC run diagnostics on the RAM and hard drive. Both check out OK.
Here's the specs:
2x Intel Xeon 2.80GHz
4GB RAM
cPanel
CENTOS Enterprise 5.2 i686
PHP 5.x
MySQL 5.x
Exim
When viewing TOP or status in WHM, php scripts use the most CPU. With average CPU load around 60+

I have a site that is eating up my server resources and need to know what the best solution for this is. I'm thinking of getting another server just for mysql but do not know what specs the server should be to handle the current traffic/database load and have the site run smoothly without slowing down to a snail's pace.
An alternative is to get another server just for the videos being served and leave the database and html on the current server. This is where I'm stuck and don't know what route to take with this.
My current server stats:
Dual Xeon 5130
4GB RAM
250GB
50 Mbit/sec
CentOS 3.9
Website traffic stats:
15,000 visitors/day
150,000 pageviews/day
Serving videos
I've attached screenshots of top and bandwidth usage per day. Hopefully with this information you could tell me if I need another server or if there are any things I can do to the current server to help things move faster.

Since a short while back my server memory usage is 100%. The amount of
visitors decreased so the memory should be lower in consumption than before.
I suspect a newly installed script could have bugs or misuse of the
server by hackers. I don't know how to see on the server what script or
what part makes the memory use so high. I see Apache is very high but
I'm on VPS.

Currently i have a small server with 512 Mb of ram i doing some minor hosting..
sometimes..my free memory is only left with 15 mb..is there a concern down here?
is there anyway i can find out what are using up my memory..? And should i just upgrade to 1Gb instead?
Somtimes my mail queue ..will also take up like 20 to 30 mb of memory as they keep on trying to resend themself

My VPS host is (for now) still using LxAdmin, but is no longer allowing login to HyperVM for reboots and access to system info. Please, tell me exactly how to use SSH to check the current memory usage on my VPS.
Quote:
Viewing your current resource usage
Log in via SSH, I normally use the Putty client for this.
Commands:
top: your current server load & resource usage.
ps aux: all your processes & which ones are using the most memory/cpu
free -m: allocated memory, usage & free memory
Is the command line really *easy* once you get used to it?

a few times, my host contacted me and said that my account is suspended due to high usage of server resources.
I have 3 sites using SMF (a forum script.) I have around 8500 visitors and 3 million page views per month in total.
can this be a reason of high usage?
if it's what's the meaning of terabyte traffic limit ? which you can never use
I asked to my host if they could let me know what's causing high server resources usage. here is the answer:
We do not know which domain or script caused this high usage, it is your responsibility to investigate. I would suggest that you go through your raw access logs to see the most requested pages and then investigate those further. After you find the pages responsible, please optimize them so you are not using so many server resources.
so if a host wants simply to restrict traffic limit, they have a pre-reason under hand.high server usage! yes but how will I know that? how will I trust that it's true?
when I ask why my sites are down, they can easily tell me that it's because of high server usage!

I have server load like 40.
Nothing lags.
Server has RAM usage 20% and CPU usage goes up to 25%
Swap isnt used at all.
Should I be afraid of server crash incase server load goes up to 60 or 80 without ram and cpu usage rising that much?

For the past few days, one of the server is causing a bandwidth utilization surge for the entire rack on almost daily basis. It happen for a few minutes and it went off then it will be the same thing again the next day. When the surge is happening, most of the servers on the same segment will be inaccessible for the few minutes.
The bandwidth utilization graph for my rack is recording an abnormal surge from (6mbps --> 90mbps) for the few minutes. My MRTG is showing 2 of the Plesk servers giving the problem but the NOC guys said it the Cpanel that causing the problem.
I tried logging in to both servers but could not find what's the cause for this.

I just got a new server Dual E5520 with 6GB RAM, SAS 15k rpm raid10. It's running well. However, the memory usage is just around 2.5GB, even when I have more traffic. Here is the kernel info

Any idea that we can put more content into memory?

It seems that a user may get more percentage of memory purchased for real use. I've got a xen VPS which has access to all 8 CPU cores. Guess this is a good thing to be able to burst CPU resources
[xwu@atom ~]$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | awk '{a++} END {print a}'
8
But this requires lots of kthread running to be able to access all CPU resources, which in turn consumes quite some memory, a valuable, limited resource on a small VPS instance.
[xwu@atom ~]$ cat /proc/meminfo | grep Mem
MemTotal: 524288 kB
MemFree: 276128 kB
The output above is grathered when almost no other services are running except sshd.
While XEN VPS surely consumes more memory than OVZ VPS, I would suggest the Xen VPS can be built in such a way less memory is required to just do the housekeeping.
Of course, that would imply careful provisioning, maybe less "overselling" for the sake of lack of a term. The bottom line is how we can reduce the memory usage, while ensure individual VPS instance can still have fair share of CPU if needed.
Is there anyway in the VPS kernel config which can disable access to certain CPU core, thus reducing the number of kthreads and etc?
