  • 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 High Apache Memory Usage

seebii

New Pleskian
Hi!

On Wednesday I migrated about 40 Websites to a New Plesk Server.

Since Wednesday Evening I am getting 3-4 health alarm messages with "Apache Memory Usage" green->yellow and yellow->Red. But I have 64 gigs of RAM...
I've uploaded the Health statistics in the attachment.

Does somebody know whats wrong There? It is a New Server.. Maybe some wrong conf?

Thanks in advance!
Sebastian

Apache is using less than 5GB of memory and you have 64GB on system, so not seeing anything wrong with it.
 
Rogue bots? Spammers?

It's impossible to know what's going on without knowing what kind of sites are you hosting and how much traffic do they get. You'll need to troubleshoot, here are some suggestions:

- check the bandwidth your server is using lately (is it within past averages?)
- check for recent spikes in web site traffic history (to determine which site(s) are causing this)
- observe if their current traffic is still odd in some way (again, looking for bots or even spammers)
- catch a period of increased usage and check the results of something like 'ps auxw', 'top', etc. (how ever you prefer to monitor your server at a glance).
