[Solved] High Server Load On Johnny

[asherlevy]

Um...

Ever since johnny came online, it is suffering from (very) frequent overloading.

Are admins looking at it, or is it to be considered the current normal behavior?

Some time before the Big Crash, things went much more smoothly on johnny, and I guess some of the more active accounts have moved to stevie because of unacceptable downtime for them.

In fact, the current load patterns are a lot like the problems johnny had right before the crash... Hopefully, we're not headed there again.

 

First, BIG thanks for your efforts & bringing johnny back up!

However, there still appear to be some serious issues with johnny: occasional timeouts on the site, cPanel & webmail and/or very long waits for pages (order of minutes). I'm also getting internal error (500) on the johnny server load page, and when it loads, the numbers are extreme (40-50). If GRD's server monitor is to be believed, some job seems to periodically load johnny so high that it freezes and does not respond.

 

Thanks,

Asher

Are admins looking at it,

Yes.

or is it to be considered the current normal behavior?

No. Some spiky and higher load than Stevie are to be expected due to java/jsp, ror, and asp.net, but it shouldn't be this bad.

Hopefully, we're not headed there again.

It's highly unlikely that Johnny will crash like that again.

 

There have been discussions among the admins about a hardware upgrade for Johnny. There is no set date yet for the installation, but a news post will surely be made once there is. You can be assured that continuous and ongoing efforts are being made to improve the stability of Johnny.

Johnny's load seems to be settling down to normal over the last few hours. Going to go ahead and mark this as solved, but let us know if you're still having issues.
