Looking for server admin
 

I am looking for someone who can find out what's going one in one of my servers...

CPU spikes every 1 hour, sometimes every 30min (not randomly), queries going nuts suddenly...
Some of the admins from my hosting keep saying same thing: "some queries that are locking your tables" I have basically disabled everything that them said and I am seeing these spikes for over 20 days already.

Do you have any cron jobs running? (sitemap generating or maybe a backup script?) did you check your access logs? maybe someone is scraping you? could be as simple yandexbot or bingbot going nuts if you have a lot of pages this might be the case.

We have some cronjobs running, but none of them work hourly...
We have also disabled cron daemon for a few hours already, but it did not work as well...

About scrappers, bots, I have no clue if them are hammering my server

I will monitor these bots in the next spike

Shouldnt the server host be able to clear this up for you?

Ps -ef is your friend
