  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Question Apache CPU Alerts

Nathan Platt

New Pleskian
Hi Everyone,

I keep getting Apache CPU alerts I've been trying to find the issue but so far i'm coming up on a dead end. It seems to be caused by sw-engine. Here's an example of alert;

Code:

Any ideas?
 
Do you have Plesk Mobile Center Extension installed? Try to upgrade it. High cpu consuming by sw-engine process was caused by product bug which has been fixed in the latest version of Plesk Mobile Extension.
