I'm having problems with one of our web servers. Most of them run at around a load average of 1 or less with no problems. The troublesome one is hitting a load average of over 30 sometimes.
The site is intensely interactive, uses a load of PHP and accesses a database. The database is located on another server so that probably isn't causing any problems directly. I suspect that the database is the bottleneck and Apache is being held up waiting for it - but I can't see where. What performance tools are available for locating bottlenecks? I don't want to spend a lot of time fine-tuning something that isn't the problem, but I'm at a loss to know where to start - Everything looks relatively normal in the standard tools.
