Yes - this is totally baffling. With the extension gone, what the heck could still be changing the database? We confirmed this morning that with the ASE extension off, its values in the database are still being overwritten to the login page for another site. We've enabled plesk's debug mode now...

Note - I've tried to submit a support ticket to Plesk as we've done before with purchased extensions, but since this plugin is 'free' there is no separate license for it. If I try to setup the ticket with the Plesk license, they won't allow the ticket to be submitted - they say we have to...

(the above message submitted before I meant for it to) Like I said, though, the sites were fine for days after they were migrated. It wasn't until we integrated WP Toolkit that any of this started happening, and we didn't do that until a few days after all sites had been moved over. I don't...

Hi, Sebahat. That is correct. When looking at Subscription A, under the Wordpress tab that is added before the Dashboard, Hosting & DNS, etc. tabs, it'll show that the site is Subscription B, or F, or G, etc. And it would change some days when we'd check (or just a few hours later). At first...

We recently setup all new servers and migrated WP sites to them (up to date WP installs). Seeing the new WP Toolkit extension, we thought that looked like a good integration, so we connected it to all sites and installed the plugin onto all sites. Immediately we started having issues. Every day...

Hi, Peter. So we've been trying to use these commands, but so far nothing jumps out as a definite issue. We currently have pm.max_children set quite low for all accounts on the systems, so none of them seem to be spawning that many additional children. The site speeds don't seem affected from...

Hi, Hello. Yes - we have blocks for all xmlrpc files in place, and we install wordfence and very good caching on all wordpress sites. Since after yesterday's morning spike we looked through all hosting accounts monitoring stats immediately after and none of them showed a spike, we're wondering...

While I was writing that last message, I happened to miss a spike on one server. It had already calmed back to normal by the time I was checking it, but out of curiosity I went through each and every subscription's CPU monitoring logs and not a single one registered anything out of the ordinary...

Regarding Cgroups - I checked just now and remember why it wasn't helping, at least from what I understand - The minimum monitoring timeframe we can set in the Plesk dropdown for cgroups is 5m, and since these spikes seem to always ramp up to a cpu load of 30-60+ in a matter of 8-10 seconds...

Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. There's some in here we haven't tried yet. We do have cgroups installed but Plesk says that there's a lot of limitations of what it can control, and apparently whatever the issue is must be one of those outside its scope. I'm going to double...

We don't install CMS's via Plesk, but rather directly via FTP so that it's not tied into Plesk settings. But good idea to check on the crons. We're trying to implement WP Crontrol on all WP sites and will be making that standard moving forward to mitigate this. Thanks for your suggestion. Magestyx

Hi, Peter. The particularly difficult part of this situation is that when the spikes happen, SSH becomes essentially nonfunctional like the rest of the server. Always being at totally random times and only happening every 12-72 hours, it's about impossible for us to be watching at the right...

In our case, there have been no noticeable increases in traffic of any kind that causes these. The new CentOS 7 servers simply had sites migrated to them from CentOS 6 servers that were fine. So the same sites, just different OS and the latest plesk - and here come random inexplicable load...

Did anyone find a definitive cause/fix for this? We have numerous new CentOS7 servers that run the latest Plesk. The previous servers had CentOS6 and this issue -never- happened. Now on CentOS7 all servers with WP sites have this issue. They'll randomly spike the server load from an average...
