Server Diagnosis

System Access

If a server is having issues and you can still access it through one or more services (SSH, MySQL, HTTPD, etc.), then check these areas:

  • monit: What is the system load? What is the memory usage?
  • collectd: Are there any trends of increasing loads or memory usage?
  • System, Apache, MySQL logs: check for anomalies
No Access

If you can't access a server through any services, then run these tests:

  • Check DNS records to see if they are resolving correctly
  • Log into web hosting control panel to see status

Todo

  • pidstat
