How about disk and network?
Disk is cheap for vps provider,no need to oversell.
But they may use low speed hdd + cache instead of sdd drive .Depending on the buffering strategy, it's hard to detect if they do
I mean disk io.
does this work on hetzner?
Should work on any time-slice-based virtualization,like KVM
use lscpu to find out which virtualization you use
No hetzner disabled cpu steal reporting, so this should not work on their vpses.
what what, they did?
Yeah couple of months ago,
https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/200758/has-hetzner-disabled-cpu-steal-time-reporting/p1
Not sure if it's for all their slices though, probably only the oversold ones
lmao a bunch of ridiculous replies from Hetzner there, golden
please put disclaimer does not work on hetzner because they disabled cpu steal
Even to the YouTube question
”WHAT DIFFERENCE WOULD IT MAKE!?!?”
Lmao
It was so hard for me to stay polite in that thread
You did good, I would have lost it 110 %
I think everyone here can comfirm
my i m comfirm
Wow.overselling is a really common issue in the VPS industry.
“Fusion drive”
How long I should run this ? @miaomingc
Hello,
I would like to note that this detector runs your CPU at 100% usage the entire time its running. On our platform if you do this for more than a few hours your VM will become CPU throttled.
VDS services would not be throttled as the CPU is dedicated.
Best,
Good to know about your transparency.
This is already highlighted in our Acceptable Usage Policy. Its very standard practice for Virtual Servers.
it would be great if providers made the most frequently asked questions (i.e yabs, looking glass etc) by customers about their services upfront on their sales page.
Simply run yabs and compare its gb6 multiple with single score.
Some providers limit disk IO so as to make it usable till the end of this century. So disk IO can't tell overselling.
No, GB6 multicore is basically meaningless with more than 4-6 cores.
I meant 1 vcore.
Usually you can see gb6 score single =1234, but multicle =1123, the overselling is obvious.
If you do yabs on multicore vps, limit to 1 core. One can turn to chatGPT for help.
Actually, no, I don't think this works either, because if there's CPU steal it's also impacting the single core score, and given that GB6 multi-core works like this:
I would say that if the multi-core score is lower than the single core score, that's solely because of thread scheduling and inter-thread communication/coordination that isn't necessary for the single core benchmark.
Why your cpu logger in archive mode? It's a great tools.
i measure overselling with cpu steal
1 contabo = 50% cpu steal
If cpu steal is consistently above 0.3 contabo, I consider it oversold
at 0.5 contabo, i open a ticket
above 1 contabo i chargeback yesterday
Interesting, just archived it around an hour ago, but I archived it because of two reasons:
Of course cpu_logger also has advantages compared to my new tool, such as that it's easier to set up if one only has a few servers, and if one wants, one can of course continue to use it; I just don't plan to maintain it anymore.
sir, does yabs throttle vps from you as well? my vps moved from a 7940HX to a 7945HX and gb6-value declined
