Hi everyone, I host a server with few services running for my family and friends. The server freezes sometimes. Where the services stop responding. If I try to ssh into the server, it takes a lot of time (3 to 5 mins) for it to connect. After being connected, every letter I type takes 2 to 3 mins to appear on screen.

Seems like the server is overloaded with tasks. But I am not sure what load it is running. I have netdata installed. I could pull up following screenshots for insights.

Can someone please help me in troubleshooting the issue?

I have tried testing stress testing my RAM and CPU, and they were fine. But I would start troubleshooting from scratch if you have recommendations for testings softwares.

Please also let me know if there is anything I can pull from netdata to help in trouble shooting.

System Specification:

System RAM

Disk I/O

Total CPU Utilization

Idle Jitter

    I think your best bet would be to try and capture a log or do some monitoring to see which specific tasks are using a lot of resources at that time. That will give you more insight into what’s going on. You could do that with a command like htop - https://htop.dev

    Does it happen on a set interval or is it random? If it’s an interval that seems to have a pattern, you could have a service running that is doing some sort of maintenance task, or has some cron job.

      It’s random. I will try to monitor specific processes/tasks to check the resource usage. Maybe HTOP would help. I will report the findings once I am able to track it.
