Hi, I have some problems with high load, running my teamspeak3 servers on a small vps with only 1 vcore and the high load peaks are causing the server to lag. Does anyone have the same issue? Here is a pic on how it could look:

I have no idea, we might not have enough information. The only thing I can say right now is do not run teamspeak server as root.

You are right, ive been to lazy to create a new user :p I have yet not locate the cause of the load but its either the ts3 server or AccountingEmulator, maybe i just need a more powerful server.. :)

I think 1 vcore is enough for a small teamspeak server without encryption. Did you actually do an update when you connected on SSH or anything before checking this on top. As you can see, the 15 minutes load average looks not bad. (0.07)

No, the peaks last for ~1minute. Look at this graph over 24 hours: https://gyazo.com/846272c02fb6530fa8daad4b6a0909fe Im only running 4 cracked teamspeak3 servers 32 slots each ~10-20 users connected lol :p

Like what? I have no idea on how to locate which process there is that is causing this high load peaks.. But it's either the emu or ts3server.. :c

Regards,

Edit: this happens on both my servers nothing installed but the teamspeak3 servers

By example, it could be a conjob doing certain task. Your webserver having some visitors browsing pages, etc...

Monitor your server's resource usage using htop.

"apt-get update; apt-get install htop"

Monitoring it right now, you want me to just post a screenshot when the load is high ? I've reinstalled it several times :)

Load can fire up if:
- A Dos attack is going on but its not quite killing the connection so your server still responds
- You run it as root (thats why the ts3 script advises you to stay away from running it with root rights)
- A client is doing bigger uploads or downloads
- ...
I think it would be helpful to be able to see the full set of logs including (traffic, teamspeak logs, syslogs).

There are no (D)dos attacks.
No longer running as root
File Uploads/downloads are disabled
Havent seen a peak when manually monitoring it yet, just installed a new monitoring system to check the load :)
