Question Plesk Apache CPU Usage - Alarm Levels Changed Query

[cseasby]

Hi All,

I'm a new user to Plesk having move to a cloud server and am encountering a small issue regarding Apache CPU Usage and MySQL CPU usage and wonder if anyone would be able to assist?

We receive Alarm level changed emails regularly and as example like below from the Apache CPU usage on the first few lines of the email which reads:-

top - 15:45:43 up 6:05, 0 users, load average: 0.87, 0.69, 0.76

43840 psaadm 20 0 374128 33860 19540 R 43.8 0.4 0:00.08 sw-engine


After spending a few hours trying to work the issue out, I was hoping someone would be able to shed some light? Our hosting company haven't been too helpful! Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,
Chris.
