Server lagging every 10 minutes

Is there an automated process that happens every 10 minutes or something? Because I setup a server on a Vultr box and it's like clockwork... every 10 minutes I receive a 10-20 second lag spike.

I've noticed in RustAdmin's console it also appears to output an array of all user objects that are currently online.

 

Nope, it's saving every 30 seconds.

 

Noted. Still doesn't explain the lag spikes every 10 minutes or the array dump of online players though.

I'm not at my system now, but I can post an example of what it's logging to console later.

 

do you use BluePrint Manager ?

 

i use bp manager - is there an issue with it ?

 

yes
try unloaded for 5min.
i had same problem when new players connected i had spike lag
Server freezing when a player joins

 

I saw that thread, however, I do not use BPM or the other one mentioned (not remembering what it was right now)...

 

is there an alternative to BP manager then ?

 

I don't recommend saving every 15-30 minutes as that'll be a pretty nasty rollback. Given the nature of Rust, it's not uncommon for it to crash so I highly recommend saving at least every 5 minutes or 300 seconds.

Rust does not currently have an incremental save system so everything is saved over and over again despite how often it is saved. With that being said, it doesn't really matter what you configure this to but it's very important you understand the infrequency of saves equals larger rollbacks. Some servers may experience lag during saves which is why they save so infrequently but as long as you have a decent storage drive this shouldn't be an issue. My server saves 200k entities every 5 minutes with no lag what-so-ever.

On topic
If the lag occurs that often in such a pattern chances are it's either a plugin or server/rcon script stalling your server. Especially check for plugins that send web requests on a timer, that generally is the cause of most lag.

 

i have xMILION server with : Entity Count 1024590 from 260000 do you know what means to save this entitys on 300 seconds ? it will be a huge lag

 

LOL 102k ents... right theres your lag and server issues

 

no its more 1.024.590

 

isn't 1 milion

 

"Some servers may experience lag during saves which is why they save so infrequently but as long as you have a decent storage drive this shouldn't be an issue."

@Licurici If you don't want your server to lag saving 100k entities then I recommend getting off shared hosting. I have two PvE servers with no decay and I have zero issues saving.

Server #1
Entity: 238k

Server #2
Entity: 161k

Both save every 300 seconds and are both on the same machine. No issue.
