Issue php-cgi.exe used high CPU usage

paulmac

New Pleskian
Server operating system version
Ubuntu 20.04
Plesk version and microupdate number
18.0.42
I have a server which is reporting high CPU usage, the process causing this is php-cgi on a particular domain.

I have had a few problems with this domain, when I first transferred it, Immunify reported many problems and I have been sorting out the problems over the past few weeks. Ie removing corrupted files and cleaning up index.php etc.

Immunify is now reporting no further problems but I need to find which script is causing the high cpu usage, I can see that the php-cgi process keeps dieng and restarting under a new process id owned by this particular domain.

So how do i check which process keep restarting php-cgi ?
