I’m seeing CPU usage creeping up over a period of days on two near-identical VPSes I am running Formicaio on right now. 4CPU 8GB RAM
Both have around 200 active nodes and a couple of hours or so after starting, all nodes are active and both boxes sit at load avgs of 4-6. But after a couple of days both are now showing 15 min avgs of 16-18. I have noticed this consistently recently. One solution is to kill off a few nodes until the load goes back down and then restart then odes at 2 min intervals but again after a few days the load avg creeps up. In any case this is too hands-on for production use.
I’ve seen performance degradation that could align with that. Latency seems to be creeping up from under 1 second to 2-3 seconds for my smallish file test.
I’ve also seen my node runners working harder, which I attributed to more network usage, etc. However, it could be anything ofc.
It’s still running very well though and very usable for IMIM, video streaming, etc.
Yes, I noticed the same behavior.
This is even more true with old nodes that were stopped and restarted. With new nodes it seems the CPU usage increases slowly over time.
Wonder why this is happening to some, and I have not seen a marked increase. A few % for 200 nodes is just variance to me since it seems to remain the same rage of CPU usage on my 4 machines here
