    We would like to invite you to have a call with us and have some fun checking our prototype. The agenda is pretty simple - we bring new design and some scenarios that you need to walk through and succeed. We will be watching and taking insights for further development of the design.
    If you would like to participate, please use this link to book a meeting. We will sent the link to the clickable prototype at the meeting.
  • Our UX team believes in the in the power of direct feedback and would like to invite you to participate in interviews, tests, and surveys.

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).
