Vultr CPU Excessive Usage – Resolved

If you have been facing excessive CPU usage on our Vultr VPS, it may be due to several reasons for it. Our experts have put together these steps to help you deal with the issue:

• First, we have to check which processes or applications are taking up more CPU resources. We can use tools like top or htop to monitor CPU usage in real-time. By running the top command in our SSH session, it will display a list of processes and their resource usage.
• Once we have identified the application or process behind high CPU usage, we can review its configuration and optimize it. Now, we have to look for any bottlenecks or code that may be causing excessive CPU consumption.
• We also have to make sure the server’s operating system and all installed software are up to date. Outdated software can lead to issues or bugs that cause increased CPU usage.
• Furthermore, high CPU usage may be due to malware or unauthorized processes running on our server. We have to scan the VPS for any signs of malware. Our experts recommend running antivirus or malware detection tools.
• Vultr VPS lets us set resource limits, including CPU, for our virtual machine. If you have a certain application or process causing excessive CPU usage, we can limit its resources. Vultr provides controls like CPU weight and CPU restriction settings that we can adjust in the Vultr control panel.
• We can also upgrade our VPS plan if it does not offer enough CPU resources to handle our workload.
