  • 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.

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

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.
