[Astlinux-users] Getting high processor load on ALIX box

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hmm I liked it better before I implemented Monit. Blissful ignorance ☺

I got am email from one of my servers with the following:
Event:                    Resource limit matched
                                                                Service    3016-Tilton-CM1
                Date:        Tue, 29 Aug 2017 16:26:14
                Action:      alert
                Host:        3016-Tilton-CM1
                Description: loadavg(5min) of 2.2 matches resource limit [loadavg(5min) > 2.0]

I found this in the logs of the server:

..... and lots more

Should I turn off the Netstat server? I assume this turns off darkstat!
