Yeah, been a rough one today for Koala.

Load is coming back down, but it's still high . . .

Aussie Bob · 15th September 2009, 08:33 PM

Load is manageable now, but we're watching it like a hawk.

Just out of curiosity, what does this all mean? I assume that for whatever reason some site is getting a lot of hits - is that what the "load" is?

Load is basically the demand on the server from the sites on that server. Demand on the CPU, demand on the RAM etc etc. The more demand then the more server load. Load is often caused when a client's script runs haywire or if a site gets inundated with traffic very quickly.

Could this be why I'm getting the following error when I try to get into CPanel?

No, load is very low now on Koala -

Load Averages: 0.92 1.33 1.46

If you have access issues, drop a ticket into the helpdesk so the techs can check that for you.
