Can Picklog burn your CPU Usage?

[Gouki]

Hi,

Just wondering if turning on some logs can burn cpu usage?

at some time my cpu usage doesn't go up more than 20%. at peak times it goes beyond 60% which causes delay in movements.

Could picklog be an issue? flooding of traffic in saving?

Dude, if problems at sever side - there are only 3 emulator exe(login, map, char) and sql

If problems at client side... Well, picklog is not a reason

This is map taking up cpu usage. what im thinking is that whenever logging of files takes too much traffic and this is what happens? could that be possible?

Picklog burns your cpu usage, because record everything.

mine was 99% because the size of picklog was 5gb lol.

i recommend clean picklog file every 15 days or configure log_athena.conf to usefull logs like trades only.

you can just drop all data on picklog right? yea i was thinking to just enable trade logs

if your pickup_log is too big (+1gig)

I recommend that you rename it and make a new one , you will still have the old logs , however it's much easier for your server to deal with anew  clean one.

yup I do still plan to back it up, but mainly you can just drop all items in picklog and have no problems with account/characters right?

if you want, or rename to conserve the old log just sader said.

Well, you can have 100 gb base and it doesn't affect cpu in any way.

What else could increase your cpu usage of mapserver? could be just a faulty vps? or the vps itself cant take too much load?

I no longer have much of npcs and disabled picklogs. I just notices this massive increase in CPU Usage when characters are in magma_dun02 for about 50 people in it.,
