Lower MySQL CPU Usage

Aug 14, 2008

I'm having a problem with high MySQL CPU usage on my server, one of my sites is getting hit pretty hard right now and MySQL is just killing the box. Its averaging a load of over 20, CPU usage is around 130%.

here is my my.cnf file. is there anything in their that should be changed to help lower the CPU usage?

Mysql 100% CPU Usage

May 18, 2007

After running for a while mysql suddenly starts using 100% CPU and my site goes down due to apache waiting with 150 sleeping processes.

Here is the top stats

PHP Code:

top - 00:20:47 up 12:01,  2 users,  load average: 1.11, 1.04, 0.95

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
 2011 mysql     18   0  177m  43m 5684 S 99.9  4.5  86:51.60 mysqld

    1 root      15   0  1948  648  556 S  0.0  0.1   0:00.97 init 

ps ax | grep apache -c
152

On restarting mysql everything goes back to normal.

Can someone tell me how I could go about rectifying this?

I'm sure the server can take the load, coz before this the site was on a way slower machine and worked flawlessly.

Seeing Mysql Usage

May 11, 2007

is there any way to find out which users are most intensively using mysql? i've installed mytop which gives me some info, but the only user it shows connected is me (i.e. localhost) with no break down of what tables are being used etc.

also in whm i can see mysql has consuming quite a bit of memory/cpu, but it doesn't show me individual users; just the service as a whole.

Mysql Memory Usage On My VPS

Jul 21, 2008

My mysql is using alot of memory although there is not much data into the mysql tables.
I tried to control mysql usage by editing my.cnf file but that didnt help.

Which variables should I edit in my.cnf to keep mysql using low memory?

I edited sort_buffer_size, key_buffer_size but that didnt help much. It uses alot of per-thread memory as well.

MYSQL Memory Usage

Feb 10, 2007

I am very low of system resources but wish to use MYSQL as my database backend so I have installed MYSQL 4.0 on my Debian Sarge 3.1 VPS with linuxthreads and configured it to use least possible resources as my VPS only offers 32MB main memory. Generally I use the PS command to get the memory usage of running processes. But MYSQL being threaded confuses me. My system uses linuxthreads so all the threads get listed as seperate processes but show same stats in PS command output. On initialization, MYSQL starts 3 threads which according to documentation, are necessary for its functioning. This is what I see:

root 139 0.0 0.0 2436 4 ? S Feb07 mysqld_safe
mysql 163 0.0 4.5 5480 1264 ? S Feb07 0:02 mysqld
mysql 164 0.0 4.5 5480 1264 ? S Feb07 0:00 mysqld
mysql 165 0.0 4.5 5480 1264 ? S Feb07 0:00 mysqld

Is that means MYSQL is using only 1264 Kb of real memory? If that is the case, I am really happy about my tweaking skills. After doing a query through PHP, the output becomes:

root 139 0.0 0.0 2436 4 ? S Feb07 mysqld_safe
mysql 163 0.0 4.5 5510 1278 ? S Feb07 0:02 mysqld
mysql 164 0.0 4.5 5510 1278 ? S Feb07 0:00 mysqld
mysql 165 0.0 4.5 5510 1278 ? S Feb07 0:00 mysqld

Thats just very nominal resource usage. I am assuming that what PS is showing are just duplicate entries for a single MYSQLD process and 1278 Kb can be safely taken as its RAM usage. I hope it is not (1278 X No. of mysqld threads).

MySQL Memory Usage

Aug 23, 2007

I had a 280 MB MySQL db on a 384 MB Linux Dual Xeon 3.2 GHz VPS (no CP, no additional software) and it was no where near enough. Even if I upgraded the VPS to say 1 GB of Memory, it would take no time at all to over load it at this rate. There must be something wrong with the setup, I can't see MySQL being so resource heavy... or is it?

CPU/Memory/MySQL Usage - Munin @ 54%

Aug 13, 2009

I'm checking my CPU/Memory/MySQL Usage and I'm seeing that something called Munin is running at 54%. That is apparently the average for today. Can anyone give me any insight as to what this is?

Wikipedia classifies Munin as a network monitoring application. I don't think it should be using this much processing.

It appears that I may have enabled this plugin when I rebuilt my apache using EasyApache. Are there any big benefits to this? Looking at the graphics at first glance it doesn't look like there is. but then again, I'm not that knowledgable about this stuff.

Narrowing Down Sites MySQL Cpu Usage

Jul 27, 2008

I'm no SQL expert so I'm not exactly sure what to look for in-depth here. However, I noticed that MySQL would periodically raise to 98% cpu usage in top. So, I checked it out and turns out every time you load the front page of a site I host it takes about 30 seconds to load and its during that time that MySQL is freaking out.

I know the user relies heavily on MySQL, however I want to try to narrow down the problem as much as possible for them. Any recommendations on what else to look for?

MySQL Usage Limitations In A Shared Hosting Environment

Mar 18, 2009

One of my friends uses a popular shared hosting provider, and I was assisting him with a web site issue earlier.

I noticed the following warning in the host's control panel:

"[MySQL databases] may not be used for log evaluation operations, ad clicks, chat systems, banner rotations, or similar applications putting extreme loads on the database under any circumstances."

Is this common at other shared hosts?

MySQL Remote Connection Problem After A Heavy Usage

Aug 8, 2008

I have 2 identical Fedora8 boxes with Apache 2.2.8, MySQL 5.0.45 and PhP 5.2.4. I use one as the Web+DB server (say box A), and the other (box B) just as the Web server connecting to the DB server on box A. I use this 2 machine configuration to test a LAMP based-Web application. I have a client program on other machines that can emulate a massive web workload to these 2 servers; it can emulate hundreds to thousands of users using the application simultaneously.

Before running the test, the connection to the DB server from both boxes seem fine. Using the mysql client program on either box A or B trying to connect to the DB, the connection goes through instantly. In the /etc/my.cnf file, I have max_connections=4096 and max_user_connections=4096. Note that the web app uses one single db user to connect to the db. To allow remote connection, I inserted one record into the user table of the mysql db whose the host field's value is '%' (allow connection from all remote hosts).

After running the test (which I found out that many requests sent to box B failed), mysql client program on box A is still able to connect to the db instantly; but the one on box B has a problem: it takes extremely long (5 - 10 minutes or even more) to establish the connection, it doesn't time out, just takes that long. I believe that's the cause for the failure of requests to box B.

Lower Ttl On Domain

Feb 14, 2009

I'm hosting some domains on a whm setup. One of the domains has outgrown the shared hosting setup, so I'm moving it to it's own vps. I want to limit the downtime, and I understand I should lower the TTL on the domain.

The registrar is Network Solutions and the nameservers are pointing to the shared host (which is on a whm/cpanel setup). How can I lower the ttl on this domain? Do I have to move the domain to a more advanced DNS service to achieve this, or is this something I can do within whm?

Lower CPU Mhz In WHM, Server Information

Jan 31, 2008

I was checking my server information today on WHM panel and this is what I saw:

Processor #1 Vendor: GenuineIntel
Processor #1 Name: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6700 @ 2.66GHz
Processor #1 speed: 1596.000 MHz
Processor #1 cache size: 4096 KB

Processor #2 Vendor: GenuineIntel
Processor #2 Name: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6700 @ 2.66GHz
Processor #2 speed: 2660.000 MHz
Processor #2 cache size: 4096 KB
Why is the Processor #1 speed labeled as 1.6 ghz? Processor #2 speed never goes down no matter how high the load is. Could it be the reason that my server can't handle 4 websites with a cumulative total of 20k unique hits per day?

Will RAM Lower Load During Backups

Jun 18, 2007

On a Cpanel server, lightly loaded, but some fairly large sites (~3GB stored) loads get pretty high during CP backups (D/W/M to secondary drive, compression on). It looks like RAM is showing mostly used during this time (977,555 out of 1,026,348), and iowait is ~50, sometimes quite a bit higher at ~80 on the larger accounts. Not pegged at that amount, but fairly steady. This box only has 1GB RAM, so I'm thinking adding another Gig would alleviate this issue.

OS: CentOS 4.x
Hardware: Intel P4 3.6HT/1024MB/2x160GB

Too Many DNS (Domain Name Server) Requests. How To Make It Lower ?

I host my DNS with DNSmadeeasy.com , I noticed that I have daily more than 350.000 DNS requests for main domain, This domains got about 80.000 uniqes/day, so this is strange how can there be 350.000 DNS requests/day. Seems that I'll go over the quota because of this.

The TTL for all domains is set to 86400.

Is there a way to discover how its possible ? And also is there a way to do something to make this number lower (DNS requests)

SSH Unzip Command Changes Files To Lower Case

Oct 4, 2008

I have a small issue that's probably easy to answer. If I upload a zip file to a Linux server, and run this command via SSH:

Code:

unzip -a name_of_zip.zip

Although it does unzip the directories as expected, it makes all file names and folders lowercase. This is a problem when trying to install software that relies on case sensitive names.

Does anyone know what command tells the server to retain the file names and not alter them?
