VPS with 100% CPU and 100% RAM!
  • Quote

Post by missionaryman » Mon Nov 03, 2014 6:24 pm

Hi,

I have Vesta CP installed on an OVH VPS running Ubuntu 12.04 with 1vCore and 1GB RAM. Vesta is only hosting 2 sites: 1 WP site and 1 Joomla site. Neither are receiving much traffic at all.

The CPU is showing 100% utilisation, as is the RAM.

Is this a Vesta configuration problem, or a hardware issue? How do I find out?

Thanks,

MM

Hi!

You should try installing htop, that can show you which progress is eating up the CPU.

(On some VPS hosts if you update Ubuntu 14.04 and agree to change some settings when prompt you'll get a corrupted syslog progress which will eat up 100% CPU, if you see that syslog is eating up all the resources, you can find the solution in Google)

Thanks for that! Most helpful.

I've checked my system using htop and discovered that I have 2 syslog processes running (rsyslogd -c5) both consuming 50% of the CPU and 25% of RAM each.

What could be causing this and how do I rectify it?

Thanks,

MM

All sorted.

I checked the entries and syslog and discovered a repeating message. I googled it and found the solution, modifying rsyslogd to stop registering so many warnings. CPU down to a sensible % now.
