I have a VPS with LXadmin control panel and 1024 Ram.
the memory always 333-450 but now it is more than 800 and the VPS stopped I restarted it many times but after restarting it the memory gone crazy again.
So, how to know what causes high load and eating my Memory?
I have a cPanel server with 4GB RAM
My server hangs time to time, once or twice a day. This is the last status when it happens.
Server Load 75.90 (2 cpus)
Memory Used 92 %
Swap Used 65.78 %
When I was still inside SSH when it happens, the processes I can see inside "top" are a lot of httpd processes.
So I "killall -9 httpd", I had to do it 30~40 times
#killall -9 httpd
#killall -9 httpd
#killall -9 httpd
x 30~40 times until no pid process found & the server load is back to normal.
Before that, I check httpd fullstatus, they look very normal, same goes to what I see inside WHM Apache status & cpu usage status.
At first I thought it was a memory problem after consulting with a server admin, so I replaced all 4GB new ram stick (such a waste)
My server is very slow, High CPU, High Apache load....
I got a new server and i had setup a script on it.
No server tweaks has been done.
I run a filehosting site so it gets very slow when traffic is high.
Here is some info:

I dont know much about server managment...
how to fix this so server doesnt go slow?
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.
I am running in a High load problem lately. I have one of those cheap 1and1 servers which was running fine until 2 weeks ago. Once I rebooted accidentaly, it did not come back with some unrepairable kernel errors and I had to re-image it.
I chose to reimage the server with CentOS 5, for better support. The new re-image worked fine for some days, at least so I thought and now I am having high loads. The server crashes if not monitored every moment as the load is unpredictable.
Just a restart of the Apache will bring the server back to normality, but I am not sure if it is apache or some other script to be blamed.
I have beeing monitoring through apache server-status, but I cannot organize something unusual in the high load moments.
At this moment for example:

So my server is "unresponsive" for abour 18 hours, burst net didnt answer my tickets and I dont know what to do. Ive been with this setup for almost 5 months with no problems, No changes have been made to hardware or software.
Im using Centos 5.0
My VPS holds about 80 domains and low-use accounts.
Every night, from around 1.30am, the load suddenly skyrockets and will usually be around 5 to 10 for a few hours. Occasionally it'll spike to 30+ for a few minutes.
I had some antispam software running, and a couple of other packages (mail queues, mail manage etc), so I disabled all of that and removed all the crontab entries etc.
It's not really made any difference.
I can see the load stats going back 8 hours, as part of the ASSP spam package (I've just left the ASSP server load cron running just so I can continue monitoring it!)
Can the apparent load on my VPS be caused by other VPS's on the same node?? So in reality, my load is fine but is being affected by other people's VPS's?
I hope that makes sense. I'm 99% sure that my VPS is 'clean' (in so far as cron entries)
I'm asking the question because I took a second VPS on the same node and that one too has high loads overnight when there's nothing running on it (ie, no add-on software, no Cpanel accounts added)
when i install BFD and APF on my server thie processes appears every time on "top" commad on my server and it cuse hight load

Just signed up for a VPS with solarvps, which so far is lightning fast compared to my shared reseller account with RZ.
I want to create a script which checks the server load and drops me a text message on my mobile if the server load hits a certain level.
Just wondering what I should consider a high server load?
The server is the JupiterLX UK one from solar vps with over just over 800mb of SLM RAM.
Im in a VPS and everyday at the same hour goes very slowly due to high load problems.
The main site is a vBulletin forum and I get this error:
Too many connections
Ive change some details in my.cnf:
Quote:
max_connections=500
max_user_connections=70
But it didnt solve the problem.
This high load occurs at the same hour, I think that it is a cron job related problem, but this is my /etc/crontab
Quote:
# cat crontab
SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=root
HOME=/
# run-parts

i was previously using maxclients 256 in httpd.conf and the load was normal even when the server was processing 256 requests..
recently i had changed it to 320 coz of which my load had increased a lot.. Now when i have decreased it back to 256 the load is still high even when the no of requests are just 150..
i have trouble with transport from company to another company
and i had problem with the best company ( resellerzoom.com )
i order one month this palnt ( Failover Plans ) then i swa this messeage

How can you tell if your server was a victim of a DDOS attack? Server load goes so high that you cannot get in via SSH, and the server has to be power cycled to get back online. When it comes back online, load goes back up, we shut apache down, and the let the load come back down and then restart apache and everything is fine. Any way to determine what caused the load to skyrocket? System has APF, BFD, and mod_evasive installed.

[root@mysql ~]#
Do you see the high different number between connections !!
I am sorry for bad english but i am really get more pain daily with the high load
My server kernel
Linux httpd 2.6.18-8.1.8.el5 #1 SMP Tue Jul 10 06:50:22 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I use CentOS 5 and httpd 1.3 and php 4.4.7
I try to upgrade them to httpd 2.0 and php 5.2.4 but most users can't browse the site so
i come back to 1.3
I have upgraded the kernel, I have optimized the my.cnf (mysql), the swap file is free.
The memory is not overloaded even then the I/O wait is too high, the top result is as below
The server become very very slow due to high I/O load, I am failed to dins out the reason. Please help me with the commands so I can sort it out

I am using rsync to transfer files (tar.gz) between servers. However, it makes server load increasing 3-4. Normally, server load can be around 1, but when doing the transfer, it can go up to 5+
Is there anyway to reduce the load when doing rsync?
I am just a beginner and it is about a month that the mysql loads on my server is so high , I have checked the mysql processlist via cpanel and there is no account that takes high mysql and make it high , and even I have checked for any possible rotten databases. but still the server load is so high and I can not control it , even when I restart it just after a minute it goes up again.
just the spamd command takes a high CPU usage sometimes. what it should be from? the spamd for a special account!
I need to optimize mysql , and need help. please do not tell me to hire an expert , just help me thanks
and another question is that how can I check which account is sending spam and stop it?
I have to move about 50 GB each night from one server to another.
This is the command I'm using:
Code:
/bin/nice -n +19 scp -c blowfish -l 18000 -P 22222 root@XX.XX.XX.XX:/backup/dailybacks/*.tar.gz ./
There is no private lan so i have to use internet. I'm using blowfish, which will reduce cpu load, and also limiting bandwidth transfer, usign -l 18000. How ever, I still do see some high load averages..
Do you have any other suggestion to optimize CPU performance while running scp?
Why my server - load average is high?

do you know what my server having very strange problem my server load suddenly increas after every 2 or 3 days some time after 1 days but when we talk about those days in which server load is fine then that time server load very low almost 0.4 to 0.1 .
But on that high load day server load reached upto 500.
when i try to find out what wrong then i only get that there is too much connection of http when i kill httpd through this killall -KILL httpd then server load suddenly decrease and then stable.
I have a VPS with Future Hosting and recently I have been getting more and more notifications from LFD regarding high CPU load. For example:
Time: Sun Jun 14 06:50:48 2009 -0500
1 Min Load Avg: 9.47
5 Min Load Avg: 6.25
15 Min Load Avg: 3.68
Running/Total Processes: 2/105
I am getting at least one of these a day now and I am also getting alerts about services failing, SPAMD in particular but also EXIM (and messages about LFD being unable to determine the exim queue length). External monitors are also warning me about SMTP timeouts during the same time period that I get the "high load" errors.
Tech support seems a bit stumped by this one and ALWAYS come back with "load looks fine right now". With the frequency of the warning emails increasing I am getting very concerned about the stability of my VPS.
I am not running anything significant on my VPS yet with minimal visitors and load (RAM usage consistently stays below 300MB on a VPS with 1+GB RAM.
I've search around quite a bit, but I can't seem to find a clear answer.
I've turned on mod_status, and on the status page, I'm worried Apache is being overworked.
Code:

At the time I took this particular snapshot, it's not near its peak... it's not uncommon for the CPU load approach 60%. Reading around, it seems the CPU load should normally be under 1% (such as 0.0139% or what-not). Is this true?
The weird thing though... I have no idea where that number is coming from, because according to "top", the CPU is actually 90% idle.
Here is my Apache MPM settings:
Code:
ServerLimit 512
<IfModule mpm_prefork_module>
StartServers 10
MinSpareServers 15
MaxSpareServers 50
MaxClients 1024
MaxRequestsPerChild 0
</IfModule>
I actually just raised the MaxClients from 512 to 1024 because I was hitting a constant cap of 40 requests/sec... and I was worried it was going to bottleneck. When I raised that value, the max requests per second now seem to be freed up.
If the actual CPU of the server is 90% idle... am I okay? Anyone know where Apache's getting the CPU Load info from?
My server is running slow, and some process are using high % of CUP.
Please take a look at the screenshot, and also tell me if it's normal to have : /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -DSSL running as nobody and root, and what is this command ?
I have a dual xeon server that host around 15 small website, but these days I see that the load generated from mysql is very high as you can see below is consumes 32.6 CPU
mysql 32.60 1.20 0.0
how I can know what is the cause of this load?
We have a Dual opteron 275+4G ram box.
PHP4+EA+CentOS+Cpanel installed
Normally, load is 2 as long as we do not perform any action on WHM
However, whenever we create/suspend/terminate an account , load burst to 25 and then httpd goes down
Admins say it is hardware issues, which does not sound right to me
I have a couple of sites that are generating errors because the server load is too high and when I check service status I am seeing the following: Server Load 21.49 (8 cpus)
How can I tell if the problem is one of my sites in my VPS or a different site on a different VPS on the same server?
MySQL.

I know there are thousands of topics about this and yes i did use search function to try doing some changes myself and didnt wanna hijack someone else's topic so started my own
well my problem is i run a torrent site which puts a lot of load on my server. Just got upgraded to P4 2.8 ghz with 2GB ram , iam running fedora with WHM/Cpanel
i will do anything with server to put load down cos of load i have turned off my 4 other big sites ...
