Bizarre statscheck i

[jsteel]

About a week ago, I started getting the following statscheck message:

----------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT: Do not ignore this email.
This is cPanel stats runner on host9.myserver.com!
While processing the log files for user root, the cpu has been
maxed out for more then a 6 hour period. The current load/uptime line on the server at the time of this email is
12:45am up 36 days, 23:59, 0 users, load average: 1.50, 0.34, 0.10
You should check the server to see why the load is so high and take steps to lower the load. If you want stats to continue to run even with a high load; Edit
/var/cpanel/cpanel.config and change extracpus to a number larger then 0 (run /usr/local/cpanel/startup afterwards to pickup the changes).
----------------------------------------------------------

Why do I say it is bizarre?!? Well, first of all, why is it running stats for user 'root'? I don't see where anything has that user configured. Secondly, the load average only jumps to 1+ when it tries running the stats for that user. Lastly, I get this message mutliple times a day, yet stats should only be running once a day (overnight actually). Everything about this message seems bizarre.

Anyone have any insight? I'm really getting tired of being woken up EVERY night because of this (not to mention alerted throughout the day). I immediately check the load average on the server and it is either at 0.00 or under 0.30 EVERY time. It is only occurring on one particular server.

Good to know I'm not alone! ;-)

I hope Nick, Dave or Eric is montioring this post and trying to look into it.

Well, now it gotten WORSE. that server is now sending out double messages about 2-3 times aday and now another server has started up as well. This is an obvious bug that needs to be resolved. Off to make sure my last request is still in the system.

Just out of curiosity, what is the version of the OS & WHM?

[jsteel]

RH 7.3 and WHM 5.3b94. We were going to upgrade to b117 but we were having problems on one box that we had b117 on, so we held off. We believe we have that issue fixed (not b117) related, but we are waiting for final confirmation before we go ahead and upgrade the others to b117.

Thanks for sharing.

Using 7.3 with WHM E113 and not having the problems being mentioned. Mind you, that MS SQL worm has shut down the DC so I guess I got bigger problems.

now this is happening to us on 2 servers.. for no reason, we got those emails while load never is over 1. weird.

[jsteel]

Yup. Very odd, I just had two more servers start with this BS alert. So much for getting any sleep at night.

Changing /var/cpanel/cpanel.config did not help as it says in the email..
Also updated to R117 fom S116with the same results.

[jsteel]

Make that another one now, and I'm also getting duplicated alerts sent on all of them now. Nothing like getting about 12 pages during the night FOR NO GOOD REASON to lull me to sleep! ;-(

jsteel, have you submitted a ticket to Cpanel?

[jsteel]

Yup. Over a week ago. No response yet. Maybe a few more people should as well so it appears more urgent (which it is)

Yeah, I'm getting the same thing too (server just a couple weeks old with only a couple dozen accounts). I'm running Cpanel 5.3.0-R117.
My heart nearly stopped when I read the message, but I'm relieved to see that it's just a bug (presumably...).
