Hello, on my hostserver i see one VPS of mine got load of 200.00 and netstat nothing (not a single blank line on netstat command) after some time, netstat started showing connections, but i see no excessive IP connections.

tail -f /var/log/httpd/access_log shows no activity
/var/log/messages ; secure, no activity

Please which files, commands should i do to reveal cause of the load?

Try this - lists all tasks in uninterruptible sleep (these add to the loadavg). Usually waiting on I/O, but http sometimes generates heaps of children and forgets about them

Code:

top -b -n 1 | awk '{if (NR <=7) print; else if ($8 == "D") {print; count++} } END {print "Total status D: "count}'
