Log files @ high load
Hi,
my VPS was overloaded and inaccessible for some time and i want to ask for help in which log files i need to look, or which tools to setup to monitor and find the cause of repeated hig load?
watched:
/var/log/messages
/var/log/secure
/var/log/httpd/access_log
/var/log/httpd/error_log
/var/log/mysqld.log
/var/log/lfd.log (config server firewall)
/var/log/fail2ban.log
