High CPU load on one server

Noticed on proxmox server the load has suddenly started going high. We have less VMs on here but they may be pushing more than expected. I assume as its SSD's its not DiskIO that is the bottleneck

Wait time as per top can be seen as this:

%Cpu(s): 77.3 us, 4.7 sy, 0.0 ni, 17.7 id, 0.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.2 si, 0.0 st

Will adding another CPU on the motherboard help? Then its a dual proc proxmox ve. My first one :)

You can see how much CPU the single VMs take. But as the CPU ist not really at 100% I don't think it will matter too much.

Hi,
your load is under 12 and the CPU usage is mostly under 100%. I don't think a new Processor will speed it up. Maybe look if it's just one VM that's causing it.
