iOS App causing server to overload

One client is writing an iOS App, requesting Gold/Exchange Rates from online sources, and then writing a data file onto server and displaying the data back to iOS users.

There must be at least 10,000 users from this app. The log files are increasing at a very rapid rate, now hundred thousand log files, causing server to slow down tremendously.

Had to manually delete his log files using command line.

Gonna have to talk to this client about upgrading hosting plan soon, maybe give him a co-location option.

PS. Keep eyes on “uptime”, “top”, “w”
