    Hello,
    I have a smaller VPS. So far things have been fine. I host a dozen low traffic sites. I just brought on one more site (again, fairly low traffic). Now mysql usage got so high that no other site could connect to the DB. I had to restart the VPS twice. Any suggestions about how to go about tracking down the problem?

    Thank you!

    Hi,

    You can check the Mysql process using below command so that you will get idea which database process causing high load on the server

    mysqladmin proc

    Hello :)

    Yes, as mentioned, use the "mysqladmin processlist" command when MySQL usage is high to see if you can get a better idea about which databases are the culprit. Also, you may find this thread helpful:

    Thank you.
