Email received Excessive processes running under the user xxx

Sometimes I received messages from the server of this type:


Time:  Tue Oct 13 22:48:20 2015 +0200
Account:  user
Processes count: 20 (Not killed)

Processes information:

User:user PID:30357 PPID:28990 Run Time:0(secs) Memory:306316(kb)...

Then I received another email of this type:


Time:  Tue Oct 13 22:50:20 2015 +0200
Prom Load 1 Min:  16.27
Prom Load 5 Min:  6.75
Prom Load 15 Min:  2.65
Running processes/Total: 25/313

Why does it happen? Shall I put any solution on this? Thank you in advance for your help. Regards.

Hello :) Those alerts indicates the number of processes LFD considers excessive has been reached. Are you experiencing high load averages? Are the processes still running? Please keep in mind that LFD is a third-party application that is not developed by cPanel. You might want to post on their support forums for more user-feedback. Thank you.

Yes, I am experiencing high load averages, though the processes run only once or twice. I will post on the support forums of the LFD. Thank you so much for your helps. Best regards.
