High CPU usage - Htop Showing nothing

ahmiqahmiq Member

Hi ,
I have a problem that my VPS cpu load is showing to be very big and when i check htop/top they show nothing that any process is using alot of cpu , how can i see which process exactly is using that cpu?

i checked the error log it shows nothing much either:

130822 13:38:35 mysqld_safe mysqld from pid file /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid ended
130822 13:38:39 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql

    High I/O on the Node?

  • You should run top to see if you're causing any I/O wait as this could account for the load regardless of CPU usage.

    Other than that, if this is OpenVZ, it could be an abuser on the node causing it and not you.

    Indeed it is a OpenVZ , so on openVZ the Load shown is not my VPS's but of all the NODE? Sorry i did not know this. I have been heck worried and been changing configuration and stuff that why my VPS has suddenly load average more then 2-3

    [root@maximus etc]# dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync
    16384+0 records in
    16384+0 records out
    1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 32.8344 s, 32.7 MB/s

    [root@maximus etc]# uptime
    14:03:57 up 1:19, 1 user, load average: 0.90, 1.06, 0.88

    Should i talk to the provider about this?

  • Not always no, but in my experience heavy load on the host node can impact what's shown inside users VPS. Usually, it should only show your load.

    Can you run "top" and tell us if there is any IOWAIT?
