WARNING: configured processor count does not match

[jek]

From messages log:

cpanellogd: ==> cpaneld(logger) 8.0 Starting (4 processor system).....
cpanellogd: ==> WARNING: configured processor count does not match
cpanellogd: ==> actual processor count (1)! Running stats programs
cpanellogd: ==> on this system may cause excessive load!
cpanellogd: ==> You should set extracpus=0 in /var/cpanel/cpanel.config

This is certainly not right. I see this couple of times. I see that
the value is set to 2 under 'Tweak Settings'. Is this tweaked for a
reason or by default ?

Anyone got any input?

Stab in the dark... do you have dual Xeons with Hyper Threading turned on?

thanks for the try... but no... that machine ain't a Xeon.

You should set extracpus=0 in /var/cpanel/cpanel.config

This is also the number you set in WHM under tweak settings for 'the load over the number of cpu's at which processing of logs will be suspended'. The wording "(4 processor system)." had be confused as well, but what that means is that you have set in WHM tweak settings for logs to be processed as long as the load is under 4.0. You can change it in either WHM or in the above cpanel.config file if the load causes problems, but if you set it too low you may find that your stats stop being run.
