Martin,

ruby is used to run mcollectived, a metrics collection tool (agent) from puppet. I think OSUOSL uses it to collect stats and provision clusters. We can turn it off or ask them to.

It's throwing lots of errors:

E, [2016-01-31T04:10:38.590809 #1287] ERROR -- : base.rb:29:in `run' Sending registration message failed: execution expired

Memcached, yes, we should. I've done some research on memcached during my experiments with OpenStack. But I've too little experience with Gentoo to try to install it without breaking anything else. I'll probably try it on some dummy setup first.

Thanks ET,

I've told the website to use mysql as a caching server. The poor web
server only hat 1GB or ram and was caching to ram leaving not much at
all left over.

Also it's running ruby, not sure why. Could you have a look ET and find
out what that's about?

The website should be back up now. We'll have to investigate memcached
more seriously int he future to handle our website's load.
