high processor usage

  • Hi

    Any help on this one ? We have this morning had a processor on one of servers constantly being pegged at 100% for a few minutes then varying between 80% and 100% for the last few hours.

    It seems to have subsided now.

    I did check all the usual suspects during the time ie replcation, open transactions, blocking - all of which seemed fine.

    Any ideas on what i can check either now or in the future should this happen again - i think the boss was looking for answers but i couldnt give any

    BTW we run our server in the cloud - was just wondering if we need to contact our 3rd party provider to see if any issues from their end ?

    It sounds like it's time to take those boys out for a nice porkchop dinner. That's were you take them to a nice clean warehouse, tie them to chairs, and while you're having a nice conversation about the importance of thoughtful and timely communications, you feed them a nice porkchop dinner... at point blank range with a 3 band "wrist rocket" slingshot to make sure they're paying attention. "Bone in", of course. 😉

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
