I am not sure the status logger output helps determine the problem. However, the dropped mutations and the status logger output is what I see when there is too high of a load on one or more Cassandra nodes. It could be long GC pauses, something reading too much data (a large row or a multi-partition query), or just too many requests for the number of nodes you have. Are you using OpsCenter to monitor the rings? Do you have read or write spikes at the time? Any GC messages in the log. Any nodes going down at the time?

I don't know it this has always been the case, but has definitely been going for the past month or so. Whenever that happens we get StatusLogger.java output in the log, which is the state of the node at the time it dropped messages. This output contains information similar/identical to nodetool tpstats, but further from that, information regarding system CF follows as can be seen here: http://ur1.ca/ooan6 How can we use this information to find out what the problem was? I am specifically referring to the information regarding the system CF. I had a look in the system tables but I cannot draw anything from that. The output in the log seems to contain two values (comma separated). What are these numbers? I wasn't able to find anything on the web/DataStax docs. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
