[Asterisk-Users] I guess my server capacity is ok

Bruce,

the sys stats shown above is at no call and I run the ps -auwxx, i couldn't
see any process taking up the resources.

for example, the maximum of cpu usage was asterisk -vvvvg -c and mysql and
they are together 0.5% and 0.4% respectively.

I have other servers running on Dell PowerEdge 2850 and they are okay.

Thanks for your response

goksie
