Hi,
I was wondering if someone could help me out on this issue. I'm starting to receive frequent status warning emails (used to be 1 every week now they're up to 5-6/day). Server load goes from .(something) all the way up to 12+ and then drops down again. How do I go about diagnosing the problem? Because by the time I get to my server the load is fine.
Thanks in advance.

Hey There,
If you don't have the "sysstat" rpm installed, grab that. It should put cron entries in for you automatically, but it may not.
From that rpm, you'll want to use sar. I have it set up like this on my box (gathers cpu, memory,disk, etc information - and plenty of it
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /usr/lib/sa/sa1
59 23 * * * /usr/lib/sa/sa2
Then you can run "sar -u" (for example to get the cpu statistics for the current day up to whatever time it is. You can also run "sar -f" and get the stats for the sa file for any previous day.
Hope that help
