MediaTemple Server Health – Yellow to Red?
Posted May 25th, 2014 @ 02:50pm by Erik J. Barzeski
I think it's the fact that I'm running a virtual dedicated host, but these kinds of things aggravate me: why is my server status "red" when I'm barely using any of the CPU or Memory?
Server: barzeski.com.
Server health parameter "Services > Apache CPU usage" changed its status from "yellow" to "red".
