Something is eating memory
Server Load 2.31 (2 cpus)
Memory Used 83.1 %
Swap Used 51.81 %
Disk /dev/sda1 (/) 20 %

2gb memory, dual-core. Something is taking all the memory, and I don't know how to find the leak. Any leads? It comes and goes, so it's not always overloaded.

Best thing to do is use the 'top' command in SSH and then press c to see the command line.

Look at the VIRT section where the ram usage is shown.

There doesn't seem to be much of a problem there....

Kim looks a bit powerful however... and something is using mysql quite a lot. Mine only uses abotu 50m yours is using 141m

Kim has a big site, around 3-5k visitors a day. But it should not be a problem...

Is there any log file for mysql I can dig into?

/var/lib/mysql/$(hostname).err

This path could vary, but is generally located in /var/lib/mysql. Could also be located at /var/log/mysqld.log

Ok, found something in "Show Current CPU Usage". It's for the big sites account, and is taking 60% of all resources as it seems:

/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/analog +CIMAGEDIR /images/ +CDOMAINSFILE /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/share/analog/lang/usdom.tab +CCHARTDIR ./ +CALLCHART ON +CLANGFILE /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/share/analog/lang/us.lng +COUTFILE /home/kim/tmp/analog/example.kim.example.net/7.html +CLOCALCHARTDIR /home/kim/tmp/analog/example.kim.example.net/ +CCACHEOUTFILE /home/kim/tmp/analog/example.kim.example.net/cache.out +CCACHEFILE /home/kim/tmp/analog/example.kim.example.net/cache +CVHOST ON +COSREP ON +CBROWSER ON +CFULLBROWSER ON +CREDIRREF ON +CREFSITE ON +CFAILREF ON +CLOGFORMAT COMBINED +CHOSTNAME example.kim.example.net +CHOSTURL http://example.kim.example.net/ /usr/local/apache/domlogs/example.kim.example.net

Killed this process and everything went back to normal. So this process is the problem. Now the question is how to stop it from happening again. Tried to disable it under "Statistics Software Configuration", but it seems to be running anyway.

Is it enough to deselect "Enabled by Default" and "Active" on all Statistic Softwares under "Statistics Software Configuration" to disable all Statistic?

That should be sufficient to disable stats generation, but any remaining stats processes may still be running to conclude whatever they were working on.

Analog stats should not be using anywhere near that amount of resources. Normally about 0.1%CPU.

Try disabling the analog, update the cPanel, re-enable it, and see what happens.
