Dear Pleskians! The Plesk Forum will be undergoing scheduled maintenance on Monday, 7th of July, at 9:00 AM UTC. The expected maintenance window is 2 hours.
Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding on the matter.
To tackle this, first get a list of Apache processes
# ps aux | grep httpd (or # ps aux | grep apache, depending on OS)
In that list identify the processes with the highest CPU usage. Then look into what the process is doing:
# strace -p <PID>
(<PID> = process ID)
The process will normally show some hints what domain is causing the high load.
Then look into the access_log and error_log file of that domain to identify what is causing the load. Normally it is either a bad bot or a brute force attack.
