Hi.

What would cause the following:


Normally the CPU percent is in the low single digits. 

Now it gets as high as 333%. 

I am looking at recent changes, but I am not sure what to look for. 

Thanks,

Thorpe

Do you have any custom .adp pages, URL handers, or other TCL scripts
running within AOLserver? Or is this just a bone stock install
without any requests?

My hunch is that there is a particular page or script causing this.

Also, you might want to check the traffic to see if spiders and crawlers are hammering specific pages.

Regards.

A cpu usage of 333% indicates at least 4 active threads, most probably
connection threads. Does the server recover from this by itself?

We had a similar problem a few years ago, which turned out to be a bogus
entry in the internationalization code for numbers (i think for polish) in OpenACS.
A user switched her language to Polish, and all of a sudden, a regexp
started to run wild.

Do you see any unusual entries in the error.log?

Hi Ayan,

Thanks for the reply.

No, this version has been running about two years. There are several web sites and applications running.

The problem started about 10 days ago, so I am looking at changes I made around that time.

Seems like a script that has gone wild. Just not quite sure what to look for.

If you use a request monitor like nsstats you can quickly pinpoint
long-running http-requests
