Server maintenance, reducing lag?

Hey guys,

My server has been a bit laggy as of late. I am wondering if there is any maintenance I should be doing with plugin data or anything else server related to reduce lag. I am aware that entity counts do ofcourse make it laggier but I feel like it shouldn't be this bad. I'm running on a dedicated server.

My plugin setup is fairly standard: 2X gather, 3X Xp, TP, Kits, NoEscape, QuickSmelt, Remove, RankMe, RustIO, DeathNotes and others ofcourse.

 

Paste a complete list of all plugins.
How much entities do you have?

 

Thanks for replying!

Here is my list of plugins: http://puu.sh/r0VbE/14fec9ab6e.png

We've got 145k entities right now, weekly map wipes.

 

You do have more plugins then you need really. But nothing that stands out as painful.. I would talk to your provider. And see if there is any free upgrade you can get..
Keep up the vids by the way. Long time fan

 

I agree.. Just think it's too many for that servers needs

 

Thanks man

Any suggestions? I think I've got a few redundant plugins but have to too lazy to combine them and always fearful Ill mess something up

 

I'll have another scroll through when I awake. It's 4:20am here in Australia
I've ran servers before, I'm more then happy to give You a hand..

 

Not sure if you've already checked this or not, but is it happening at certain points or nearly constantly? Are there any plugin time warnings in your console?

 

It appears to be random, I'm looking through console and don't see any relation. Its probably a certain plugin but I'm having trouble determining which one.

My server is hosted by OVH in quebec. Server specs are: http://puu.sh/r16WK/8e08aeb3a1.png

Is the i7 possibly an issue or is it already overkill, the rust server is the only thing running on the server. I was considering switching to NFO servers but its a bit more expensive.

 

Your server is very similar to mine but better, I'm also on OVH in the same region. I'm not having any issues with mine, and we also have a lot of the same plugins. If it helps to narrow it down for you at all, these are all the ones I don't have from your list:

Code:

AdminRadar
AdminSpawn
AirdropExtended
AutoPurge
chatmute
ConnectionDB
CustomChatCommands
DayVote
EasyReload
EnhancedBanSystem
IgnoreCommand
InventoryCleaner
rankme
RustIOFriendListAPI
WellFed

Still a fairly large list, but hopefully it helps you some if you do decide to start narrowing them down.

One thing I thought of, are there perhaps a bunch of players on your server commiting suicide? I saw Corpse Duration and I was thinking that there may be some people who are purposely killing themselves over and over to create lag, but I think when that was a thing (before the suicide cooldown) it was client FPS lag, but I may be wrong.
