I have a 6000user DB that has just moved to a new machine. The database starts up and runs fine for about 2 minutes. mysqld starts to hit heavy on the CPU bringing IDLE CPU usage down to 0.0 continuesly. Is there any way to find out what exactly is dragging the database down. I am sure there is an error log, but I am new to MySQL. Are there other logs that would be more specific? max_connections it set to 600, we then took it back to 475 still acts the same way.
