Found invalid password for user

[ougogo]

Hi all !

That's a part of my MySQL error log :

140103  1:58:34 [Warning] Found invalid password for user: '[email protected]'; Ignoring user
140103  1:58:34 [Warning] Found invalid password for user: '[email protected]'; Ignoring user
140103  1:58:34 [Warning] Found invalid password for user: '[email protected]'; Ignoring user
140103  1:58:34 [Warning] Found invalid password for user: '[email protected]'; Ignoring user

That's increase CPU usage, sometimes up to 100% !
This involves only two user.
But what I do not understand is that the accounts of the two users are suspended!

How can I solve this ?

Best regards,
Hugo

That warning message is normal if an account is suspended. It's by design that MySQL authentication fails for suspended accounts. Could you post the details regarding the CPU usage?

Thank you.

Hummm, how can I find it ?
In fact, I saw the CPU usage increase due to this command line:

/usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --plugin-dir=/usr/lib64/mysql/plugin --user=mysql --log-error=/var/lib/mysql/hostname.err --open-files-limit=50000 --pid-file=/var/lib/mysql/hostname.pid

I then look at the file in question, and that is where I saw the errors.
Once errors stop being written, CPU usage decreased.

Could you elaborate on how much CPU is utilized? For instance, is it increasing your server load or slowing your server down? The following thread may be of use to you:

Thank you.

Here you can see how much CPU is used when users try to connect :

00:00:02      runq-sz  plist-sz   ldavg-1   ldavg-5  ldavg-15
00:20:01           10       171     12.66      8.22     17.36
00:30:18           24       360     57.36     41.08     27.96
00:40:01           21       572     76.87     68.94     49.27
00:50:01            4       177      6.50     30.90     42.11
01:00:01            9       176      3.56      7.61     24.00
01:10:05           14       384     56.71     31.68     25.68
01:20:01           22       403     47.11     53.17     41.10

Now CPU usage is correct because no error of connection. But the same process still holds the largest share of CPU.
This varies from 10 to 40% :




I often have to restart Mysql to stop increasing the CPU.

It seems to be more of an issue with your MySQL configuration. You may want to consider optimizing/tuning MySQL on your server. The following thread is helpful if you want to make a post in our "Optimization" forum:

Thank you.

Thanks you !

I post here the result of scan.
Could you move my post to "Optimization" Forum please ?
