I have a VPS where i have cpanel installed. I have noticed quite a number of times through my WHM Cpu/Memory usage that there are 3 instances of MRTG and they seem to be taking up a lot of resources.
I did not install mrtg and i don't even know how do i go ahead and view them
Can someone tell me how do i remove them and is it just me or are there actually 3 instances of MRTG running for everyone?
Here's a screenshot of the same:

One of my servers keep overloading due to a SQL process.
The process is:
/usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/ --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --user=mysql --pid-file=/var/lib/mysql/zeus1.forcium.net.pid --skip-external-locking --socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
It takes up pretty much 90-95% of the cpu and memory at times if I do not kill the process. But even after I kill the process it comes back and immediately hogs up cpu load again causing it to go into loads of 8.00 or higher ( I have 8cpus ).
I installed Direct Admin on my 192mb RAM vps and right now my VPS is at 270mb (I'm going into burst). I found that if I stopped named, it goes down to less than 70. Why is Bind taking up so much RAM?

I'm going to be colocating a server and I'm wondering what you guys would recommend for a MRTG / RTG that gives you estimated transfer for the month. I know you can use MRTG and multiply and divide and all that but I'm looking for something that will also include estimated monthly transfer in both mb/s and gigabits per month.

As always, I'm putting on my difficult customer mask (turning down my rationality and patience module) to find out if the host can actually handle real-life customers (one of the things I find most important and that I don't want to find out once the server is already on fire). Most companies pass the test very well. Here's how LiquidWeb handles new customers:

I'm looking to switch hosts in the next couple of months. I'd probably wait until January, but since the recent experience has been a bit bumpy with our current host, I'd like to get some basic info now so we can move more quickly if circumstances force us to do so.
MY SITUATION: I'm a do-it-yourself webmaster who has been managing his own server for years. It's become a curse though because managing your own server means you have to be online virtually every day. I'm looking for a solution that will allow me to be offline for several weeks (a REAL vacation, something I haven't had in a decade), knowing that whatever major issue there is with my sites, someone will take action and make sure the service stays available.
- Last year, I've switched to my first managed solution, but as it turns out, they're not doing what I need. Yesterday, for example, I came home to find my sites offline. The site was unavailable for over 40 minutes, and after asking about it I learned that they didn't take action because the server wasn't quite dead yet, only really, really, really slow. To me, this is hairsplitting, the only thing that matters is whether or not my site is available to visitors. - And once the service has been restored, I would also expect a managed host to figure out what caused the issue, and to propose a solution (or just implement one, e.g. change the mysql configuration) so that a similar issue won't happen anymore under the same circumstances.
- If my sites are unavailable due to a fatal error (e.g. a table needing repairs, or max users reached, "can't connect" or whatever else) I would also expect my managed host to catch it on their own, restore things to normality, and possibly think of ways to keep similar issues from happening in the future.
- If my site suffers a DOS attack, I would expect a managed host to think about how my site can be protected.
And so on.
- My largest database tables are 2.5 GIGs in size, but the /tmp disk my host configured has only 600 MB available, so everytime I perform a major operation (even if it's about slimming it down and running an OPTIMIZE afterwards) everything goes down the crapper (/tmp 100% full and load average shooting up to 200). Seems like the fact that /tmp is 100% full doesn't even trigger any alarms with my host, they send the alert to me, and expect me to contact them and ask for a fix. - When I needed to run a business-critical script that keept failing due to the small /tmp, it was me who reconfigured mysql so that it would temporarily use another partition for /tmp - no suggested solution from the host whatsoever. Not good at all.
- I would also like to see a host being able to learn from past incidents. This would require the host admitting though when they made a mistake, or gave the wrong advice. A host not admitting mistakes means that they will not learn, and will therefore keep making the same mistakes all over again (for the client that's a horrible outlook).
- I also think it's embarrassing if a host tells the client that fixing a certain issue is beyond the scope of their support, if it turns out afterwards that the issue happened because of some update done by the host. If in doubt, the host should always provide assistance.
- And if an issue does go beyond what can be expected from managed hosting, it would be the icing on the cake if the host could offer to fix it anyway, possibly against a fee. Such a situation could occur if a major site error is due to a broken script that was provided by the client. ("Looks like your script blah.php is causing the fatal error, we can look into it but this will likely take X hours and cost you Y USD.") Again, the ultimate goal for me is to be able to be offline for several weeks at a time, knowing that any major interruptions to my sites can be resolved without me.
- I would also appreciate a system that will allow trusted site members to report issues - i.e. one where I can give users the ability to report problems without at the same time giving them the privilege to push any red buttons that may damage my site.
So in a nutshell I'm trying to figure out if Liquid Web is the right hosting solution for me. Please let me know if your hosting philosophy meets me needs (and don't hesitate to let me know if it doesn't ).
Thanks!

If that's all I can get as a reply I guess that also answers my questions (I'm already Googling for alternatives) but then again maybe you just want to give it another try?
Thank you.

THE BAD NEWS:
- Even if it's a one-time emergency, you are paid extra and not providing help would ruin the client's business because the client is currently in a thunderstorm in the middle of the Atlantic, it is not possible to convince Liquid Web support to fix a fatal error that may have been triggered by a programming error in one of the client's scripts.
- Although Liquid Web's server monitoring is called "Sonar" it is - in practice - just as slow as the one I've described in my intitial mail (because if it was any better, you would have told me by now how LW would have handled the given example differently).
- Even if all my sites are down because your staff has misconfigured mysql to break under heavier traffic, or because one of the tables crashed, Liquid Web's staff will do nothing until notified because as long as the mysql service itself is up, you don't see any reason to intervene (if this is something you'd care about and fix, I'm sure you would have let me in on it by now). - EDIT: Or wait - you guys are installing mySQL but you're not configuring/tweaking it so it actually works for the client? Not sure, seems like I actually have to *guess* on that one.
- Liquid Web's ticket system cannot provide sub-accounts with lesser privileges (because if it could, you would have advertised it to me).
- When Liquid Web sets up new servers, /tmp is below 1 gigabyte as well, and when this causes issues, it is definitely not Liquid Web's fault (because if you would be handling this any differently, you would have pointed it out).
- Liquid Web has too many customers already, which is why even customers who know what they want aren't told what they can get, but instead receive links to canned information that doesn't answer their questions, along with the info that Liquid Web probably isn't for them anyway.
- Generally you're in a hurry and can't spend more than 5 minutes on the average ticket.
THE GOOD NEWS:
- LiquidWeb offers DoS protection (I had missed that, but see it clearly now).
Hope there was nothing I missed. So - thanks for all the extensive information you gave me (and sorry for using up so much of your precious time), I will make sure to honor it when I reach my decision.

I just logged into my VPS and was astonished by how much space I have in use.
8.09GB... but I can't figure out what's using up so much space!?
How can I find out were large files are located ? Since it's increasing daily
I use LXAdmin with HyperVM Control Panel
I was on a 100mbps shared port with a dedicated server from FDC and I use it only for downloads. The downloads took a little long to start but once they did, were as fast as they could be.
Thinking this was definitely a shared bandwidth problem, I ordered a dedicated port of 25mbps from FDC to fix it but it seems to have gotten worse.
The website uses around 10/15mbps but it takes forever for the server to respond. Even logging into cPanel takes around 40/50 seconds for the dialog box to appear but everything is fast once I log into my cPanel.
I also hired a sys admin to look into the server and He says everything is fine. I don't know what to do. I could increase my port bandwidth higher but it'll be disappointing if I do and it's just a waste of bandwidth (and money!)
I just noticed something weird on my FreeBSD server
FreeBSD Disklabel Editor shows:
twed0s1e /home 108GB *
df -h shows:
/dev/twed0s1d 105G 4.0K 96G 0% /home
so... 108 GBs become 105 GB that become 96 GBs usable?
that's 11,11% loss
pretty big IMO
(this has nothing to do with "real space"... it's really GBs (1024^3, not 1000^3)

View 8 Replies View Relatedhow to configure MRTG so that it displays the 95% usage as well as total amounts of traffic used?
This is what I need - first image on left.
And this is what I have so far after the install: 2nd image on the right.
Also, how do I set the maximum of allowed traffic (to be taken as "maximum" for the percentage calculation)?
I am using version 2.14.5 of MRTG, it is old.
The old MRTG works correctly?
My ISP is using MRTG (95th percentile) for my monthly billing. However the numbers showing on my "usage" page aren't adding up. Well, to clarify, the number by which they bill me at is the "Last 30 days usage (Metered 95%): xxxx mb/s". But this number isn't reflecting what I am seeing in the individual Daily/Weekly/Monthly stats and graphs.
Daily:
Max in: 38.0 kb/s
Max out 320.9 kb/s
Avg In: 4216.0 b/s
Avg out 24.1 kb/s
Weekly:
Max In: 1692.4 kb/s
Max Out 5675.1 kb/s
Avg In: 26.9 kb/s
Avg Out 86.8 kb/s
Monthly:
Max In: 3541.9 kb/s
Max Out 5635.4 kb/s
Avg In: 298.4 kb/s
Avg Out 410.4 kb/s
Last 30 Days uaage (Metered 95%): 4518.43 kb/s
Now for two weeks my server was pushing nearly 10 mb/s (95th percentile only use the HIGHER of the In OR Out as its measurement)- and then for the next 10 days my server has barely pushed 100 kb/s. 10 days ago the "Last 30 days usage" number was 4480.1 mb/s, but today, 10 days later, the "LAst 30 days usage" is 4518.4 kb/s. My ISP tells me that "last 30 days uage" is calculated every 5 minutes. But if my usage 10 days ago was 4480kb/s and my server has barely pushed ANY bandwidth since, shouldn't the laws of averages see that number steadily declining?
As an example: If I pushed exactly 10mb/s for exactly two weeks, then pushed 0mb/s for the next two weeks....then the average mb/s for a 30 day period (not calculating 95th %) would be 5mb/s. And as the 3rd week started, I would steadily see the 30 day usage start to decline and eventually reach 5mb/s on the last day of the 30 period. This is a logical, and my approach, to understanding this - yet the numbers aren't indicating this.
