I ran sar and found that my Openserver 5.0.5 used 95-100% of %usr.
Gosh! I thought to myself, and also ran cpqmon (nifty tool from compaq that monitors cpu/ida/disc load and more)
It showed that the cpu was doing way more then it should. It was constantly on 95-100% and had been for several days. I try to check the server's condition daily but my primary feedback are the users complaints.
These are my questions?
When I ran ps -ef to look at the process, this is what it listed as cpu-time. 09-00:22:59 What does it mean? That it's been using cpu for 9 days and 22:59 minutes?
Are there any good ways to notify me if such things were to happen again? Some automatic (script?) way to gather system information and alert me. Perhaps a mail to root when the server is overloaded.
We use snmpd on the machine to (simply) listen on link up/down traps. Do I have to configure something on the server to report disk usage, cpu load and such?
We use snmpc to gather information and email/page the tech crew when servers go up or down. I'm not to familiar with snmp or the program itself but I haven't found where I can gather hardware information using it. What is needed to do so?
any input is welcome.
thanks in advance. /Sören
