Sir
above my VPS status of top command . Here you can see "99.4 id" idle time of cpu . Is it right or anything wrong with that value ? please help me ....because i experienced slow connection to this server

I'm seeing about the same on a couple of systems that's doing nothing.

I've assumed that the sum of the columns should make about 100%.
It is better to be idle and do nothing than to fill the other columns?

Code: Select all

 As  a  default,  percentages for these individual categories are displayed.
  us, user    : time running un-niced user processes
  sy, system  : time running kernel processes
  ni, nice    : time running niced user processes
  id, idle    : time spent in the kernel idle handler
  wa, IO-wait : time waiting for I/O completion
  hi : time spent servicing hardware interrupts
  si : time spent servicing software interrupts
  st : time stolen from this vm by the hypervisor

Your top output is not showing anything that would make the system slow.

You said "VPS". Perhaps the issue is outside of the OS?

Sir,
Thanks a lot..
You are saying about hipervisor and network perfomance

Sir,
I have also mailed our VPS service provider informing this issue but they replied me saying below

"Upon checking the iostat output, the CPU statistics were optimal and there was no issue with the VM CPU statistics. Regarding the virtual server, you are currently using a KVM VM, so it is a fully isolated server. If you encounter any issues with the server, you should check them from inside the VM."

what should I do ? please help
