I noticed a high ping average (112ms) to my droplet hockey.hyperyoda.org [68.183.18.92] from my home computer. I pinged my droplet from another network and it too was high. Also seeing packet loss. This never happened before, it was fine yesterday and I didn’t install any packages or deploy any programs since then. top shows low cpu and disk activity, yet when I login to my droplet control panel on the web it shows everything running high. How do I isolate what is causing the high bandwith usage inbound/outbound and cpu and disk? I ran ‘ps auxw’ and none of the processes were reporting high cpu or memory usage? I hope my droplet wasn’t compromised. Is there a way to report stealth processes running?
