please help...server load extremely high

Secret Agent · Apr 12, 2006

I have an issue here that I want to resolve, but want to learn on my own without hiring an admin. I like to learn these things so please help me out if you would.

Problem:

Servre load is constnatly high 95% of the time during the normal business day/hours (at night, its normal oddly). Maybe a cron script, trying to find out. The cpu is the issue here. It ranges between 8 - 12 for several hours, what seems between about 8am - 8pm (just a guess). Every now and then, it WILL go down to normal levels, 2-3 CPU then shoot backup. I am not able to find out what is causing this.

Configuration

I do not know much about your configuration and how everything is set-up I can say the only two times in the last 12 months we had a high load it was something running in the /tmp folder. Once killed everything went back to normal, that was with the /tmp secured as well as /var/tmp etc....

mOdY · Apr 12, 2006

mmm, interesting that you'r CentOS and using a 2.6.16.1 kernel !? are you running some kind of a vps software...

also what about disabling phpSUexec ? it will decrease the load by a good value..

Secret Agent · Apr 13, 2006

Actually, I only recently enabled phpsuexec support last week. The load has been going on for 3 weeks now. It was never like this before.

madaboutlinux · Apr 13, 2006

As per your stats above it seems that there are many mysql process running on your server. Check with :-
mysqladmin processlist

Check whether the queries is for a particular user and if yes, ask him to check his script.

Also execute the below command when the load gets high :-
netstat -alntp

and check whether there is lots of request from any particular IP. Block such ips using iptables.

What is this in /tmp ?

Also, in one of your top outputs, mkvhostpasswd is shown as taking ~80% CPU. cPanel finally did something about this horrendous code, which is in EDGE, and perhaps has trickled down to RELEASE by now.

madaboutlinux · Apr 13, 2006

You can delete such files from tmp dir. As /tmp has 777 permission clients can access that directory and can upload such files or malacious scripts.

Always check /tmp if something unpredictable is happening especially when spamming is going on from the server. People do upload scripts to send emails from the server.
