Is there anyway to get more detailed info in regards to cpus usage, latency and connections for the entire server on gator1159. Like graphs and charts?

Reason I asked, is because I am periodically experiencing a severe amount of lag (30-60 sec/page call) when trying to access the cpanel or any part of our domain/website. I’ve also noticed this happens when our server’s cpus will kick up to 8 cpus (normally hovers around 2.5 cpus). One person is online (me) when this can and does occur. 2 processes are running and my pings average 77ms, so it’s obviously someone outside of my control.

This lag started when HG had a massive outage on April 6th. This lag was temporarily fixed when an attacker was mitigated on the 17th and now the lag started back around midnight on the 18th. I used to also have a lot of "too many connections" errors, because of this attacker and/or badly scripted website, but those errors are absent for the time being being.

I need a better idea on what to look for and tools I could use. Especially since the last call to tech support was 2 hours of wasted time and I have my doubts they even looked into it. I have a a ticket in also.

Thanks…
