Server load - 230 (!!!!!)

[cosmin]

I have a strange problem. Sunday my server software was reinstalled. Monday server have more 200 server load and yesterday again.

It's a hardware problem? A normal server have a 30-60 days uptime not 24 hours...

Anyone can help me?

Thanks!

That looks 'okay' although not that good. As far as loads. Just monitor the loads when you get a chance.

[Creazioni]

load average: 248.66, 206.62, 123.73

HOW IS POSSIBLE that i've a load so BIG

i can't enter into ssh therefore i can't reboot and control why this big problem (now load is 700)

There is a way to restart apache or stop apache if load is over 10?
or a script send email if load is so high??


THANKS

What software where installed on server?

use 'ps -aux' & 'pstree' to see the the running process. 'Top' will increase the load on the server.

Don't logout from the server to see the running process when the server load increases.

Are you using tomcat on the server?

[Creazioni]

TOMCAT= no...i don't like it

i open ssh and i looked load so high
top and ps-aux did not running (so much load)

now NOC reboot server, i would like KNOW the problem, who or what go so high LOAD

now i go bad for 1 hour and then i work on it

thanks
