Dear all,
We’ve got a newly installed server on Google Cloud to serve APIs from a mobile app not released yet so there’s virtually no traffic.
But every once in a while Couchbase would crash the server with 100% CPU utilization.
- Google Cloud console reports constant 15% - 20% CPU utilization while it sits idle
- every few days, it suddenly shoots up to 100% CPU utilization and the server becomes totally unresponsive, even ssh wouldn’t work. (though nobody started any intensive work on it)
- then we had to reset the server from Google Cloud console
- upon restart, Couchbase might have the buckets in pending mode and it might take a long time (e.g. half an hour) for the buckets to go live again.
- we might, sometimes, restart the server a second time and Couchbase might come up faster.
Resolutions tried:
- we originally had a server instance with 4GB ram and got this problem, so we then started new server instances of 7.5GB ram but still no luck.
- we tried creating new server instances and reinstalling the whole server stack, the same problem still comes up periodically.
- we’re already running the latest Debian 8 image, the latest Couchbase server community edition.
We’d really appreciate if somebody can advise.
Regards,
Eugene.
