I kept getting CPU alerts for my #Ubuntu web server.
htop says that #MySQL was using the most CPU time - despite it not doing anything as I haven't fully set it up yet and it has nothing to do. htop reported it using about 15% of the CPU, but it shows up as almost 100% on the Akamai control panel. I'm not sure how to interpret this yet.
You can see when I turned the service off the CPU and disk dropped to almost nothing, which I would expect to be the case normally with all the services on. The server literally just hosts the LAMP stack with a single static HTML page. No big ask there. I'm still planning out the pages that will use PHP and MySQL, those are still on the drawing board.
