It's exactly as Dweez says.

And, who was that masked man?

Couldn't connect for a couple of mins. I was a little worried. The error message was: cannot find page.  Everything seems back to normal now

Hmm.. that's too long to be a server spike.

I'll keep an eye on the server for a while.

Things weren't working well for the last hour or so. The forum looks OK now.

There might be a dodgy account on the server, like a spammer or someone running their own resource intensive scripts.  Usually they get booted off quite quickly or advised that their activity is hogging the server, and then things improve.

If I can catch the server overloading, then I can get them to jack the offending account even faster.

I don't know if you recall, but one of the idiots who was hogging the server a couple of years ago, turned out to be me.  It was when I had the testing forum which was a copy of this one (and others) all running an automatic maintenance routine at the same time that I'd forgotten to stagger.  Slightly red faced when the host eventually came back to me after studying all the logs and emails of me shouting at them, and told me it was my sites.

Whoops!

There may have been some server upgrades a short while ago as they have been scheduled and the load was astronomical which could indicate that.

Anyway, I yelled at some folk and we seem to be back and functional.

Was this the maintenance where they were moving our server into a different rack in the same datacenter?

I was trying to be kind I think.  Truth is, the load was at 204.8 (shouldn't go above 10) and I had to tell them that.  I did politely add that it wasn't my job to monitor the server, it is theirs.

They need you dweez (small d) as I think their admins take too many naps.

* dweez tries to remember what a nap feels like.

Holy crud!  Don't they have some kind of automation monitoring the server loads?  Say, if cpu/ram/blah usage > {static percentage}, then send an e-mail to Joe Topdog.  I would have thought a monitoring system would have been standard for a venture like theirs.  Unless you were spot on with the nap thing.

They aren't really that bad so I shouldn't moan.  Some hosts I've been with didn't even have people working around the clock. That said, our host has some great customer service but not that many techs. The irony being: if they had enough admins they wouldn't need all the support staff.
