Anyone seen statistics like this before? These are from a web server that I can't get access to, but I had someone send me a couple of statistics. I'm not a system administrator, but the curious thing to me is the runq spikes up, but the %idle stays high. This is a 1 cpu Linux (Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.00GHz) machine. My gut feeling is that the application (which they claim is slow) has a cpu bottleneck on the web server. Thanks in advance for any advice. (Sorry if the statistics are hard to read) ======================================================== 2:14pm up 3:55, 4 users, load average: 0.42, 0.66, 0.62 686 processes: 657 sleeping, 29 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped CPU states: 2.1% user, 1.5% system, 0.0% nice, 96.2% idle Mem: 3859476K av, 1858468K used, 2001008K free, 106744K shrd, 16532K buff ========================================================== $ vmstat 2 10 procs memory swap io system cpu r b w swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id 0 0 0 0 2032516 16584 656420 0 0 30 44 221 1831 11 2 87 24 0 0 0 2032460 16584 656420 0 0 0 20 291 2055 4 5 91 22 0 0 0 2032508 16584 656420 0 0 0 0 368 1974 39 0 60 22 0 0 0 2032508 16584 656420 0 0 0 94 167 1806 1 2 97 23 0 0 0 2032468 16584 656420 0 0 0 50 153 1840 0 3 97 27 0 0 0 2032516 16584 656476 0 0 8 50 146 1809 6 0 94 21 0 0 0 2032436 16584 656476 0 0 0 14 344 2128 7 5 88 20 0 0 0 2032516 16584 656476 0 0 0 96 411 2049 15 1 83 21 0 0 0 2032556 16584 656476 0 0 0 16 164 1844 2 1 97 23 0 0 0 2032484 16584 656476 0 0 0 48 140 1809 0 3 97 =========================================================== $ ps -ef | grep java | wc -l 52 =========================================================== $ sar -q 2 60 Linux 2.4.9-e.3 (xxxxxxx) 06/23/2004 02:59:22 PM runq-sz plist-sz ldavg-1 ldavg-5 02:59:24 PM 2 654 0.23 0.58 02:59:26 PM 29 654 0.23 0.58 02:59:28 PM 25 654 0.23 0.58 02:59:30 PM 4 654 0.21 0.57 02:59:32 PM 2 658 0.21 0.57 02:59:34 PM 26 656 0.19 0.56 02:59:36 PM 2 659 0.19 0.56 02:59:38 PM 2 657 0.19 0.56 02:59:40 PM 2 657 0.18 0.55 02:59:42 PM 2 659 0.18 0.55 02:59:44 PM 4 662 0.16 0.54 02:59:46 PM 2 656 0.16 0.54 02:59:48 PM 2 659 0.16 0.54 02:59:50 PM 3 685 0.15 0.53 02:59:52 PM 2 673 0.15 0.53 02:59:54 PM 2 668 0.14 0.52 02:59:56 PM 7 665 0.14 0.52 02:59:58 PM 4 658 0.14 0.52 03:00:00 PM 25 667 0.12 0.51 03:00:02 PM 27 665 0.12 0.51 03:00:04 PM 2 664 0.11 0.50 03:00:06 PM 2 661 0.11 0.50 03:00:08 PM 26 669 0.11 0.50 03:00:10 PM 25 666 0.10 0.49 03:00:12 PM 28 661 0.10 0.49 03:00:14 PM 25 674 0.10 0.49 03:00:16 PM 25 660 0.10 0.49 03:00:18 PM 27 660 0.10 0.49 03:00:20 PM 25 660 0.09 0.48 03:00:22 PM 26 656 0.09 0.48 03:00:24 PM 26 669 0.48 0.55 03:00:26 PM 27 660 0.48 0.55 03:00:28 PM 25 658 0.48 0.55 03:00:30 PM 26 666 0.52 0.56 03:00:32 PM 7 660 0.52 0.56 03:00:34 PM 5 662 0.48 0.55 03:00:36 PM 17 667 0.48 0.55 03:00:38 PM 23 660 0.48 0.55 03:00:40 PM 4 659 0.44 0.54 03:00:42 PM 3 660 0.44 0.54 03:00:44 PM 2 658 0.41 0.53 03:00:46 PM 2 655 0.41 0.53 03:00:48 PM 3 656 0.41 0.53 03:00:50 PM 3 652 0.37 0.52 03:00:52 PM 3 665 0.37 0.52 03:00:52 PM runq-sz plist-sz ldavg-1 ldavg-5 03:00:54 PM 5 657 0.34 0.51 03:00:56 PM 4 654 0.34 0.51 03:00:58 PM 2 657 0.34 0.51 03:01:00 PM 2 654 0.32 0.50 03:01:02 PM 4 657 0.32 0.50 03:01:04 PM 2 660 0.29 0.50 03:01:06 PM 2 654 0.29 0.50 03:01:08 PM 24 654 0.29 0.50 03:01:10 PM 26 659 0.27 0.49 03:01:12 PM 24 655 0.27 0.49 03:01:14 PM 25 656 0.25 0.48 03:01:16 PM 26 654 0.25 0.48 03:01:18 PM 4 656 0.25 0.48 03:01:20 PM 2 651 0.23 0.47 03:01:22 PM 2 673 0.23 0.47 Average: 12 660 0.26 0.52 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
