  • 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.

Resolved Apache processes averaging 250m, is this normal ?

yabado

Regular Pleskian
The average amount of memory per process seems way to high. Is there a way to crank this down?

I am on a instance with 15GB of memory and 4 cores

Running Cloudlinux.

Already disabled perl and a couple other modules I know I don't need.

Do I need the proxy and ldap modules?

Thanks.
 
Neither proxy, nor ldap modules are required. 250 MB is very high. The actual RAM usage strongly depends on what scripts are doing on an instance. If for example a website is doing a lot of image processing through PHP, the process may use more memory then when a website is delivering text files only.
 
This appears to be all httpd threads, not just a few.

This started about a month ago, early September maybe.

Was there an update to Onyx that may be the source of this higher memory use?

Will disabling any of these modules effect Cloudlinux and CageFS at all?
 
Disabling ModSecurity shaved about 100m off each request.

They are still high at an average of 153m, but it is a start.
 
Wanted to follow up to say that turning off ModSecurity has dramatically sped up my server. Sites load very fast now. Even Wordpress sites.
I have not had a single MaxClients error since turning it off as well.
