[Mailman-Users] System Utilization (top)

2009-04-09 Thread Edward Ned Harvey
For sometimes long periods of time, it seems, ten or twelve httpd¹s and
python¹s stay at the top of top, almost totally crippling the system.

Is this normal?  Should I reconfigure something?

Thank you...

Check your web server logs to see what http requests are being
processed at this time

possibly, some list admin is screen scraping the list admin interface
of multiple lists to build a membership list. It really could be
anything, but since httpd is involved, the first step is to see what
it's trying to do.

Got it.  Never in a million years did I think it was actually busy DOING
something processing http requests.

It's the search appliance crawling all the mail archives.

Thanks, ttyl...
