For past few day's I been having some odd issues. This all starter this past Sunday, as per the system logs around 4:00 AM on Sunday morning.
I noticed inability to connect to my site and all requests were being timed out. I logged into my DigitalOcean dashboard and for the specific Droplet noticed crazy CPU usage.
On average the CPU usage is below 1.0% but when this whole fiasco starter the CPU usage was sitting at 30 ~ 40%.
So I decided to roll back to a Backup created by DigitalOcean, I rolled to 7 days Backup, ran into the same issues few hours later. Also backed up to 21 days Backup, also the same problem.
So after 24 hours, Apache2 failed again. I went ahead and rebooted the server, but I don't think this will fix it.
As the title goes, when I login into the server via SSH I'm greeted with
=> There are 7 zombie processes.
But when I run top it displays 0 zombie and running
ps axo stat,ppid,pid,comm | grep -w defunct
Also does not return any results.
My server specs:
- 2GB vRAM
- 2 vCPU
- Ubuntu 18.10
- Kernel 4.18.0.22-generic
- Apache 2.4.39
- PHP 7.2.19
Some help would be appreciated.
