Hi!

While my server load was yesterday like 0.xx today it is 3.xx+

How do I find what is causing this? What user / domain is causing this? What do I have to run in SSH/putty to find out what is causing this?

It would be awesome to find what user/domain is causing this... I have searched alot, but wasnt able to find out who's doing this.
 
Ok, I feel ashamed for asking this, but how do I do that?
 
ssh into the server, and run top and post up the output you get. It should show what is hogging your cpu
 
Since I typed 'top' and got an error in putty, I gave up on that. Instead I used this:

Hi.

i'm not so good programmer but script below may help you (i hope :))

Code: 
#!/bin/bash

LOG="/var/tmp/domains.log"
DA="/usr/local/directadmin/data/users"
rm -f $LOG
touch $LOG

for username in `ls $DA`; do
    cat ${DA}/${username}/domains.list | \
    while read domain; do
      if [ -f /var/log/httpd/domains/${domain}.log ]; then
        REQ=`cat  /var/log/httpd/domains/${domain}.log | wc -l`
        if [ $REQ -gt 100 ]; then
            echo "$REQ $domain" >> $LOG
        fi
      fi
    done
done

sort -nr  $LOG | more

# EOF

save code to some file (an example file.sh) and change attribute:
chmod 755 file.sh
Script will show request per day for each domain

(Yes i know that code isn't perfect but it's work :))
Click to expand...

I found which account uses so much. But is this script reliable? Can I actually yell at the user which is on top in the result i get?
 
Ok, I found out how to use 'top'. Here is the result.

And sorry for being such a moron. I'm totally new with Unix and etc, but im learning!

Top shows that apache is using most of the resources on your server.

You should probably look at the user (or users) that script shows as using the most resources.

Jeff
 
And you load is not nearly as high so whatever was using up all your resources is probably not showing in the top result you posted.

Sleeping processes are not going to add to the load average. You want to look for R and D especially.

Run

top -i -n 1

This will give you the current running processes.

Hi Jeff,
my problem is the same with Resyad, I hv check using top and yes the apache is using most of resource, even my load average is 211.57, 207.67, 158.45 :eek::eek:

can you tell me the easy way how to check which users' script that caused apache work very hard??
because what I can do right now is see each users' statistic, and there are more than 200 users
 
Turn on server-status and extended status in /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-info.conf
 
thank you for quick answer scsi, but not good on my DA-system there is no /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-info.conf file, even tough I am already using the latest version.

mind sharing yours?

thx b4

Since I typed 'top' and got an error in putty, I gave up on that. Instead I used this:
.....
I found which account uses so much. But is this script reliable? Can I actually yell at the user which is on top in the result i get?

somehow this script not running on my DA server. it gaves error
Code: 
[root@andalas ~]# ./chktraffic.sh
cat: /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/bandwidth.tally/domains.list: Not a directory

:eek::confused:

I'm surprised your server was even responsive at this load, are you sure that Apache was the only thing you could see eating up CPU usage?

Try enabling the Apache server-status feature by adding this to your httpd.conf (usually /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf)
Code: 
ExtendedStatus On
<Location /server-status>
    SetHandler server-status
</Location>
After rehashing (or restarting) Apache go to http://your.ip/server-status and paste what you see here inside some [ CODE ] tags. As an immediate measure try stopping Apache to see if the server load decreases. Remember though, DirectAdmin will attempt to restart Apache for you on a regular basis if it notices that it is not running.
 
If top doesn't run I would start looking for other symptoms of a compromised server. That would also explain the load. I have never heard of a server where top did not run. Other please correct me if I am wrong but at this point I would be very suspicious.
 
thank you richboy, no the server is not that responsive every time I type a key.. should wait about 5 seconds and after I hit enter.. I have to wait about 30 seconds, ..

when the first time, I manage this server, I cant execute top, it seems has been hacked by previous admin who leave the company. after some clean-ups, I suggest to owner that this server need to re-format and re-install because I dont know what else he put on it.

found the code on httpd.conf.. un-remark them..
restart the apache..
access http://localhost/server-status from localhost cant
access http://my.server.ip.address/server-status from my browser cant either

btw stopping the apache indeed decreasing the server load :D:D
 
You should seek a professional to look at your server then.
