Wordpress hosted on EC2 overloads the server - wordpress

I have hosted a wordpress website on Amazon EC2 t2.medium server instance.
The OS is 64-bit Ubuntu 16.x.x version
The issue is that, after the server is up for about 2-3 days, the server suddenly overloads and stops responding.
I am not sure what is triggering this overload on the server.
When I stop the apache server, the load gradually decreases, and restarting the server after few minutes fixes the problem.
Here is the load info,
ubuntu#ip-172-31-18-127:~$ uptime
12:42:43 up 6 days, 49 min, 2 users, load average: 32.58, 63.91, 34.88
ubuntu#ip-172-31-18-127:~$ uptime
12:42:47 up 6 days, 49 min, 2 users, load average: 29.97, 62.85, 34.69
ubuntu#ip-172-31-18-127:~$ uptime
12:42:50 up 6 days, 49 min, 2 users, load average: 27.57, 61.80, 34.50
ubuntu#ip-172-31-18-127:~$ uptime
12:42:54 up 6 days, 49 min, 2 users, load average: 25.36, 60.78, 34.32
ubuntu#ip-172-31-18-127:~$ uptime
12:43:27 up 6 days, 49 min, 2 users, load average: 15.37, 54.97, 33.22
ubuntu#ip-172-31-18-127:~$ uptime
12:51:15 up 6 days, 57 min, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 11.38, 20.01
has anyone had the same kind of issue with wordpress on EC2? Is it triggered by some plugin or is my server configuration wrong?
Thank you in advance.
EDIT
I looked into the apache access and error logs,

I suppose this is where the server is overloading, and apache stops responding.

HTTP 301 in Apache logs but 404 in browser/curl

I am dealing with a client who has been blacklisted by Google Adwords because the Googlebot crawlers that are crawling their site is finding tons of weird links that redirect via a 301 code. Some examples:
216.244.66.238 - - [15/Mar/2022:00:22:33 +0000] "GET /ffdd1g/hytera-phone.html HTTP/1.1" 301 - "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; DotBot/1.2; +https://opensiteexplorer.org/dotbot; help#moz.com)"
216.244.66.238 - - [15/Mar/2022:00:22:34 +0000] "GET /ffdd1g/od-tools-houdini.html HTTP/1.1" 301 - "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; DotBot/1.2; +https://opensiteexplorer.org/dotbot; help#moz.com)"
216.244.66.238 - - [15/Mar/2022:00:22:42 +0000] "GET /7oh5yny/fujifilm-classic-chrome.html HTTP/1.1" 301 - "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; DotBot/1.2; +https://opensiteexplorer.org/dotbot; help#moz.com)"
216.244.66.238 - - [15/Mar/2022:00:22:45 +0000] "GET /7oh5yny/fusion-360-join-line-segments.html HTTP/1.1" 301 - "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; DotBot/1.2; +https://opensiteexplorer.org/dotbot; help#moz.com)"
But when I recreate any of the requests in my browser or with curl, it 404s correctly. The fact that Google is seeing 301s is what caused them to be blacklisted by Google AdWords. Why could this be happening and how can I make sure that all invalid links always return 404 instead of 301.
This is a WordPress website by the way in-case it makes a difference. Thank you.

How to solve error 503 in Kubernetes NGINX Ingress

I'm trying to configure Kubernetes Dashboard using NGINX INGRESS but for some reason I'm getting a 503 error.
I'm running Kubernetes locally in my macbook with docker desktop.
First thing I did was apply/install NGINX INGRESS CONTROLLER
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/controller-v0.47.0/deploy/static/provider/cloud/deploy.yaml
Second step was to apply/install kubernetes dashboard YML File
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/v2.2.0/aio/deploy/recommended.yaml
Third Step was to apply the ingress service
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: dashboard-ingress
namespace: kubernetes-dashboard
annotations:
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/backend-protocol: "HTTPS"
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-passthrough: "true"
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "nginx"
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/configuration-snippet: |-
proxy_ssl_server_name on;
proxy_ssl_name $host;
spec:
rules:
- http:
paths:
- pathType: Prefix
path: /
backend:
service:
name: kubernetes-dashboard
port:
number: 433
When I try to access http://localhost and/or https://localhost I get a 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable Error from nginx
Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Here is part of the log from the NGINX POD

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I was able to fix this issue.
In my ingress ymal file I had a typo. Port number was set to 433 instead of 443
As soon as I made and applied that change, I was able to access the dashboard login page with: https://localhost and http://localhost

Strange requests to web server

I have a VPS running Nginx, which currently serves only static content.
Once I was looking at the log and noticed some strange requests:
216.244.66.239 - - [03/Jan/2019:15:04:26 +0100] "GET /en/profile/Souxy HTTP/1.1" 200 4650 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; DotBot/1.1; http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/dotbot, help#moz.com)"

this is crawler. On this link is descriptin https://moz.com/help/moz-procedures/crawlers/dotbot. Maybe it is indexing your website.

NGINX logs awk find bandwidth by IP address

I am trying to find the bandwidth used by the most prevalent ip addresses making requests within nginx access logs. This is what I have started out with:
$ cat /path/to/access.log |awk '{print $1}' |sort |uniq -c |sort -n |tail
($1 is the ip address, while the bytes of request is $10) - which will output:
# of requests | IP Address
1220 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
1347 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
1420 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
2104 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
etc...
What I am trying to accomplish is to identify how much bandwidth each one of these addresses is requesting. For example:
# of requests | IP Address | total bytes requested (unique to ip)
1220 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 45626026
1347 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 49565157
1420 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 56689122
2104 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 76665299
etc...
My restrictions are not too limited. So, with that said, if the possible solution would be to use more than one command to resolve upon the final query (i.e. find total bandwidth by ip), so be it. Thanks for any help provided!
With single GNU awk solution:

The job:

{ a[$1]++; b[$1]+=$10 }
END{
for(i in a) { if(++c>10) break; print i,b[i] }

PROCINFO["sorted_in"]="#val_num_desc" - comparison of array values, to sort by IP address frequency in descending order
if(++c>10) - ensures iterating over only first 10 items, which is emulation of tail command (gets the last 10 lines) The loop starts from the most frequent IP address

how to get real ip in nginx access.log

I have a very problem. My website is spamming through joomla contact form. In nginx access.log I see only:

When I open Linux command tail, new request comes one after another. This is shock! My website is very slow. I have private server with public IP. My local IP is: 10.50.0.6 and a gateway is: 10.50.0.1 DNS is at my domain provider and record A forwards a traffic in to my public IP and then a router forward to my local IP. I would like to block ip range which spamming my domain but I don't see there original address. I see only my gateway IP. I installed fail2ban and I added reCaptha to contact form but it not helped. How can I resolve this problem?
You need access to the router.
The router should be capable of logging the address translations that it makes, and by comparing these logs with your nginx logs you should be able to identify the originating IP address. The router should also be capable of implementing an access list so that you can block the originating IP address.
