server load monitoring
I've been having some troubles with my host consistently suffering from excessively high server loads. They don't seem to be very aggressive at coming to terms with a long term fix, so I am wanting to be a bit more proactive in this matter. I have been unsuccessfully looking for a script that I can run as a cron job to send me notifications when the server load reaches a certain point. If anyone could point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.Here the basics. If you think a vmstat and top would be helpful for some reason, I can certainly provide that as well:
