Tuned profile "cloudlinux-default" pushed up power consumption and CPU temperature

If the "cloudlinux-default" profile in Tuned is causing higher power consumption and CPU temperature, you may want to consider using a different profile that better suits your specific server environment. Here's what you can do:

  1. List Available Profiles:

    • Start by listing the available profiles to see if there's one better suited for your needs:
    bash

 

  • tuned-adm list

    This will show a list of available profiles.

  • Switch to a Different Profile:

    • Select a profile that is more aligned with your requirements. For example, you might choose the "power save" profile:
    bash

 

  1. sudo tuned-adm profile powersave

    Replace "power save" with the name of the profile that you think would be more appropriate for your system.

  2. Monitor Power Consumption and Temperature:

    • After applying the new profile, monitor the power consumption and CPU temperature to see if there is an improvement. Use tools like sensors specific monitoring utilities provided by your hardware.
  3. Create a Custom Profile (Optional):

    • If none of the existing profiles meet your specific requirements, consider creating a custom-tuned profile tailored to your server's needs. This requires some knowledge of system tuning parameters.
  4. Adjust Profile Settings (Advanced):

    • If you're comfortable with advanced system tuning, you can manually adjust the settings in the "cloudlinux-default" profile to better suit your needs. However, be cautious when making such adjustments and be sure to test thoroughly.
  5. Contact CloudLinux Support:

    • If you're using CloudLinux and are experiencing issues with their default Tuned profile, it may be a good idea to reach out to CloudLinux support. They may have specific recommendations or insights into tuning for your particular environment.

Always be cautious when making changes related to system tuning, especially in a production environment. It's a good practice to test changes in a controlled environment first to ensure they have the desired effect without causing any negative side effects.
