Excessive Load (Find out number of simultaneous connections)

[Admin]

Symptom: Your server load is skyrocketing, and Apache continues to crash. Chances are a Bot of some kind is consuming excessive resources.

Solution:

Login to your server via SSH and run

Code: Select all

netstat -tn --inet 2> /dev/null| grep ":80" | awk '/tcp[\ ]*[0-9]+[\ ]*[0-9]+[\ ]+[^\ ]+[\ ]*[^\ ]*/ { print $5; }' | cut -d":" -f1 | sort | uniq -c | sort -n

See which IP has excessive connections and then ban it in your firewall.
