check which website get more load on ubuntu

This works very well:

 while true; do uptime >> uptime.log; sleep 1; done
  • This will log your cpu load every second and append it to a file uptime.log.You can then import this file into Gnumeric or the OpenOffice spreadsheet to create a nice graph (select ‘separated by spaces’ on import).

As Scaine noticed, this won’t be enough to diagnose the problem. So, additionally, run this (or use his answer for this part):

while true; do (echo "%CPU %MEM ARGS $(date)" && ps -e -o pcpu,pmem,args --sort=pcpu | cut -d" " -f1-5 | tail) >> ps.log; sleep 5; done
  • This will append the Top 10 most CPU hungry processes to a file ps.log every five seconds.Note that this is not the full boat-load of information top would give you. This is just the top 10, and just their CPU Usage, Memory Usage and the first argument (i.e. their command without further arguments, as in /usr/bin/firefox)

After you’ve used a Spreadsheet to create a graph to see when your CPU load went through the roof, you can then search this file for the nearest time to see what process has caused it.

This is what those files will look like:

uptime.log

~$ cat uptime.log

 22:57:43 up 1 day,  4:38,  4 users,  load average: 0.92, 1.24, 1.21
 22:57:44 up 1 day,  4:38,  4 users,  load average: 0.92, 1.24, 1.21
 22:57:45 up 1 day,  4:38,  4 users,  load average: 0.92, 1.24, 1.21
