Finding Cause of High CPU Load

trhosting.net

• December 18, 2019 07:00

Hello, Sometimes when i am checking our servers, i find that the system load is at 100+. Is there a way that check the system periodically and emails me if the system load is above 20? I need the processlist also to find which process that caused the system load. There may be a script for this which will run on cron. All i need is the list of processes so i can check and find the problem. Edit: The server has 128 GB Ram, 8 Core Xeon CPU and Hardware Sata Raid10 config.

  ConfigServer Security & Firewall does exactly that.

  cPanel doesn't send specifically high load notifications - it will send stalled and hung process notifications depending on the severity selected for them in WHM>>Server Contacts>>Edit System Mail Preferences The section in the CSF configuration is: # Check the PT_LOAD_AVG minute Load Average (can be set to 1 5 or 15 and # defaults to 5 if set otherwise) on the server every PT_LOAD seconds. If the # load average is greater than or equal to PT_LOAD_LEVEL then an email alert is # sent. lfd then does not report subsequent high load until PT_LOAD_SKIP # seconds has passed to prevent email floods. # # Set PT_LOAD to "0" to disable this feature PT_LOAD = "30" PT_LOAD_AVG = "5" PT_LOAD_LEVEL = "6" PT_LOAD_SKIP = "3600"
