Constant Load
I purchaced 2 resellers from here a few months back and the server is under constant load 20+ 30+ 50+ and higher sometimes, i keep reporting it and they do nothing not only do they do nothing they keep advertising here selling more space...
anyhow i was wondering if anyone knew of a script that could login to my account (cpanel) and get the current CPU load and graph it? as the time has come for me to help show others what this host is like, i would like a nice pretty graph that displays info for load
i know i could do this myself but with school holidays currently on here i just dont have the time

I'm just wondering what's the name of the company you bought from.
You have ssh access? You could make a cron do a "w" on the server and print it in a file in your public_html directory
You could also use phpsysinfo (http://phpsysinfo.sourceforge.net/)Got Fused?

i do not wish to say the hosts name yet, i would rather have some documentation to make it harder for them to come in here and post BS
nah mate i dont have SSH access
thank for the link mate but i had a quick look and it appears i would near more access to the server then my reseller accounts comes with to install/run it
You could make a cron do a "w" on the server and print it in a file in your public_html directory

make a cron (to execute every 10 minutes or so) with the following command "w >> /home/yourusernamehere/public_html/load.html"
(on one line, exclude the quotes)
It will put the server load in a file, it will be updated every time cron is executed, you can go and take screenshots of the page ... I think that's the minimum you can execute ...Got Fused?

the other thing to do is in php do
exec('uptime');
If you store the result in a mysql database, you should be able to seperate it out so that you get just the 1, 5 or 15minuite load averages, and once you have the numbers graphing is easy.Note to self: Add something funny!

If you are unhappy why don't you take advantage of the money-back guarantee (which every host today should offer) and switch to less oversold host?

i often send emails stateing the server is under load they norm reply when the load is down and say something like "the server looks fine"
the last reply i recieved wasIt is normal for the serverload to spike at times. It's not really something we can control. It normally happesns when various server software auto-updates and cron jobs run.

which proves my point when i replied to themit isnt spiking it spends more time in the red then green currently
the load is 20+ was 56+ for some time before

The load must be even higher now as your link times out every time I try it.

Hi
Apart from storing load, it would be good that you keep up to date backups out of that server...

Load shouldn't be higher than about 2%, and shouldn't spike to more than 10% at worste. I would get out of there, find a real host, with real servers, not oversold, with some actual uptime. I would force them to either give you a refund on the downtime or get a full refund because they lied to you about the spikes.

second thing, check the timeout for page request. some faulty webpage server side codes, will keep looping and causing the 100% usage. try to terminate that within 30 sec.

im guessing they have seen this post and are actually currently "attempting" to actually run the server, i am sure novalty will run out soon and it will be back in the red all the time (spikeing lol)
anyhow atleast now im not alone in seeing the high load, it was frustrating to keep receiving emails from them basically saying either
1) i was lieing
2) i didnt know what i was talking about
i have 2 resellers with them as at the time my gf asked me to get one for her also BUT you cant resell syristech space/bandwidth you couldnt even give it away unless you wanted a bunch of unhappy clients
@ PE-Steve that link is no good but i beleive you, i did do a search before i signed up with them even used google and i couldnt find much bad about them only what seemed to be the same person posting on alot of different forums complaining and their main complaint i think was about a dedicated so it wasnt(i didnt think) relevent to me

If you're on any shared/reseller server with even over 3-5% load, I'd probably move. Then again, maybe I just have higher standards and expectations out of providers.

i agree fully with you, as it is i have 2 reseller accounts that are useless and no funds to replace them, the frustating thing about it all is is how they have always replied to my emails makeing out like there is no problems...
i will admitt since starting this thread overall the load has got better but is still overall unacceptable and the fact that they keep posting here(at WHT) cramming more ppl on the server is *insert some swearing here*
