Ejabberd Server Application CPU Overload - amazon-web-services

Question

We have build Ejabberd in AWS EC2 instance and have enabled the clustering in the 6 Ejabberd servers in Tokyo, Frankfurt, and Singapore regions.
The OS, middleware, applications and settings for each EC2 instance are exactly the same.
But currently, the Ejabberd CPUs in the Frankfurt and Singapore regions are overloaded.
The CPU of Ejabberd in the Japan region is normal.
Could you please tell me the suspicious part?

Answer 1

You can take a look at the ejabberd log files of the problematic (and the good) nodes, maybe you find some clue.
You can use the undocumented "ejabberdctl etop" shell command in the problematic nodes. It's similar to "top", but runs inside the erlang virtual machine that runs ejabberd
ejabberdctl etop
