Hi everyone,
I host a server with few services running for my family and friends. The server freezes sometimes. Where the services stop responding. If I try to ssh into the server, it takes a lot of time (3 to 5 mins) for it to connect. After being connected, every letter I type takes 2 to 3 mins to appear on screen.
Seems like the server is overloaded with tasks. But I am not sure what load it is running. I have netdata installed. I could pull up following screenshots for insights.
Can someone please help me in troubleshooting the issue?
I have tried testing stress testing my RAM and CPU, and they were fine. But I would start troubleshooting from scratch if you have recommendations for testings softwares.
Please also let me know if there is anything I can pull from netdata to help in trouble shooting.
OOM usually kills the biggest processes. This might not be the process requesting more memory at the time the OOM killer becomes active but it is always a process consuming a lot of memory, never a small one (unless there are only small ones).

Disagree, oom likes to kill random processes, not just the ones consuming memory.

I’ve had oom kill ssh or mysql because tomcat is a piece of shit. It’s not always correct.
The OOM killer kills processes, not the kernel. You might be thinking of a kernel panic.
