Are my server load averages ok?

Server Load Averages 0.08 0.07 0.02 | 10 Users Online (2 members and 8 guests)

Are they alright?

Pretty fantastic really.

Is that shared hosting or are you on your own server?

if it's shared, you;re doing *especially* well.

Yeah, it is shared, does repairing and optimizing tables 2 or 3 times per day help as thats what I do.

You shouldn't need to do it that often, and it is unlikely to have any noticeable effect on server load. the load is more likely to be affected by other people on your server, as that figure is for the WHOLE server, not just your site.

Who are you hosted with, out of interest? Although I'm not looking for a host, I know others often are, so if yours is good other people may liek to give them a try.

I used them in the past and was thrilled. One of my best overall experiences. However, I also found there servers to be some what unreliable.

Nope, that's completely unnecessary and will make no difference to server load .

i suppose you repair and optimize your tables because you've found that they were not optimized in your phpMyAdmin... most of the people who do that are making it because they think it will help... but that's no use... each time a new entry is made in a table, it leaves a trace, making the table to be more or less clean... that's why the system identify them as not-optimised... the next entry in that table always fix the problem... and the next one is giving the same kind of detail... so it is pointless, until your server stuck...

I just repaired my tables because I thought it as good to do so.

Actually the repair/optimise is also a (small) risk as it could in a worse case scenario even fail, leaving your table corrupted.

Threads: 33,958, Posts: 220,359, Members: 18,963, db size: 250Mb, ave online at a time: 400. I optimise about once or twice a month.

Be sure to close the forum and backup the db before you do so.

Ugh, flashbacks. My Mysql process died in the middle of that once, with a 2Million+ post database.

Man, I drank some beers that weekend. :(

That's lower than mine with half your traffic, fwiw.

New host, what about these?

you switch hosts pretty quick :D ..... and logically if the load numbers are higher, then thats obviously not a good sign

How do i optimize it ?

05-09-2007 01:40 PM

kartik are you on a dedicated server ? cause there's something very wrong with that. Can you provide a link to your site so I can judge the possible cause of this ridiculous load?

05-11-2007 02:41 PM

OK, I have 16 users online, what about this > Server Loads: average: 3.91, 3.46, 3.38 3.91 : 3.46

encryption

05-12-2007 12:36 PM

thats a little hight for the number of users you have. I presume you are on a shared environment ? in which case it could be because your server is slightly overloaded. If you are on a dedicated server, something is very wrong

How do you check server loads?

encryption

05-16-2007 10:35 AM

go into your admin panel, at the CP Home, under Quick Administrator Links

you will see your load

Server Load Averages 0.10 0.13 0.07 | 197 Users Online (53 members and 144 guests)

05-17-2007 12:25 AM

Thank you!

Can you explain what the 0.10 0.13 0.07 numbers stand for?

encryption

05-17-2007 11:08 AM

The 3 numbers indicate the server load for 1, 5 and 15 minutes. As for what server "load" indicates

Quote:

basically the server load is a number. This number is usually under the x.xx format and can have values starting from 0.00. It expresses how may processes are waiting in the queue to access the processor(s). Of course, this is calculated for a certain period of time and of course, the smaller the number, the better. A high number is often associated with a decrease in the performance of the server.

Knowing what the value of the server load is not very important though. Knowing how to interpret the value is what counts. Unfortunately, there's a lot of debate on how to actually interpret it, even among web hosting company owners.

One thing is sure however: all of them consider a server load of 0.xx as safe. As long as most of the time the server load is under 1.00, you should not notice any problems like your website being slow (unless there are some networking related problems somewhere between your computer and the server).

The uncertainties come when the server load has values over 1.00. Most web hosting company owners apply the following rule: if the server has a single CPU (central processing unit), a server load higher than 1.00 is not good; if the server has two CPUs, a server load over 2.00 is not good and so on.

Hmmm strange. Under quick administrator links i just have Users Online 45 (23 members and 22 guests) but no server load.

Hi Guys

Just setup my newly purchased vBulletin forum at http://www.nextlevelgaming.co.uk/forum and checked my server load averages which are

7.38 5.33 4.91 | 2 Users Online (1 members and 1 guests)

after reading through this thread its made me think I need a new host. My current host is
1and1.co.uk and I am using the Business Pro package. Should the loads even be that high?

Can anyone recommend a new Uk based host?

encryption

05-21-2007 09:35 AM

yes move asap..... thats ridiculous for so few users....
