"Apache Taxing Resources" Says Hosting Company

Posted by timd, 05-15-2008, 01:56 AM I got this unnerving email from my hosting company today: "While investigating performance issues on the hardware you're hosted on, we have noticed that your Apache process has been using a large amount of resources / disk i/o. So much in fact that it is affecting other users. This has become a violation of both our Acceptable Usage Agreement, and our Terms of Service. Respond within 24 hours of this notice, agreeing to cooperate with Spry staff in the resolution of this issue. You must modify and/or delete this process to fall within acceptable limits again. You must also take measures to prevent this kind of abuse in the future." So I called them and the advice I was given was to stop hotlinking and check my stats. Well I did the first but the later revealed no server abuse. Tonight I saw load averages spike and stay about 2-3. The server was going slow. So I disabled Spamd and loads when back to normal. I'm just wondering if there is anything else I can do. For the issue they talked about is what I want to watch load times? Thank you for your help!
