Urgent Help (Memory Lead?): /usr/sbin/sw-collectd -C /etc/sw-collectd/collectd.conf

[BradleyB]

Hi,

I have noticed that this command is running often.
/usr/sbin/sw-collectd -C /etc/sw-collectd/collectd.conf

I also noticed that there is a ton of apache processes running, I was previously using Plesk 9.5 with 4GB of ram I am now using 7GB of ram and I am constantly running into problem with memory at or near 100%. Once the server gets to 100%, it crashes and requires a reboot. We have gone from plesk 10.3.1. to 10.4.4 in hopes that this would fix this issue and it hasn't.

Igor or Sergi can you please provide me with a fix for this issue. I tried searching, but could not find anything on this issue.

sw-collectd is a part of Health Monitor and described behaviour is correct for collecting statistics and statuses by Health Monitor.
Problem with apache processes should be investigated by reading apache logs, /var/log/messages and other related logs for determining a reason of this issue. Did you perform some kind of such investigation? How many domains you have on your Plesk server?

Hi Igor,

I have a little under 900 domains on this server. I have not investigated the logs yet. I did some additional searches and I found the following link. This person is experiencing the same issue as me.

http://forum.parallels.com/pda/index.php/t-108340.html I did not see a fix listed, this appears to have happened with someone else. Do you have any other insight, I will check that log file. Do you have any other suggestions?

Igor,

I reviewed the "messages" log, I found several attempts for domains that are no longer hosted on the server. This was really the only unusual thing that I noticed. I would appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks

You can disable unused Apache modules at least and review and optimize Apache configs regarding missing domains, etc.
