Todays L4D2 update has stripped the symbols from the Linux server binary, unless Valve reverse this decision (the server binaries for all their games other than CS:GO are unstripped in order to support modding), it will likely be a significant amount of time before SourceMod is fully supported on L4D2 again.
Valve have released a new update with the symbols restored and most things are now working again. This is just a regular major update now, and will need various gamedata updates as issues are found. SM itself seems to all be fine.
Any threads made about issues with the update will be closed and redirected or merged here.
Now dedicated servers has a lot of bugs which causes server's crash. They're starts from SourceMod crashes like sdkhooks.ext and ends in custom extensions, plugins, signatures, etc.
My servers won't even run after this update. I get an error:

I also had this crash, the tick rate enabler is no longer needed - it is enough in the start command "-tickrate 100" and the network settings for Tickrate 100 in server.cfg

It is not correct according to your own net_graph screenshot - all right side values should be 100.
You have all <= 30.
Lux has his two servers working and listing on Steam. Maybe one of you that has contact with him could ask how. Pretty sure his servers are through a server rental company as they are in Germany. Lux lives in UK.
How do i swap new steamclient.so with old one already in server? I tried everything i could think of delete, overwrite, a new folder. But keep getting not enough permission.
You should not change the steamclient.so file for the sake of monitoring! Since installing the old file steamclient.so, you weaken the server's protection for DDoS attacks. If monitoring projects can't update requests, then it's their problem, not yours
But if you want, here is a link to the file, and replace the file with the necessary user rights
