    YES!  THIS!  1000x this!  That's not step 1 of my checklist, because there are a few things before it, like check for freakin' disk space, check SELinux, remove UEK (the Unusable Enterprise Kernel), check the logs, and so on.  I can't tell you how many problems I've solve while composing the email to the PLUG list (or other expert).
