My server is currently running CentOS 5.2, with WHM 11.34.
Currently, we're
at 6.43 to 12 for a load average. The sites that we're hosting are taking a lot time to respond and resolve. top doesn't show anything out of the ordinary and iftop doesn't show a lot of traffic.
We have many resellers, and some not so good
at writing code, how can we find the culprit?
