Add-on Domain Deletion

I'm not sure what version this was added but when add-on domains are removed from a cPanel account it does a stats run on the account. This is great idea to make sure a users bandwidth and such are accurate. However I don't think it was thought through the implementation. It does a complete stats run of the account not just the specific domain. So here's a situation that happens:

User had 10 add-on domains on their account and they're removing 5. They remove one after another within a minute they now have 5 stacked stats processes. I don't think these processes even follow the cpuwatch so they just sky rocket server load as I doubt many expect to have numerous stats runs going on at the same time so no one is going to compensate for this situation.

I think the best solution is to add a feature to the stats run script to process only a specific domain on an account. This would help with this problem there is no point in running it for the entire account.

The other way is maybe adding some sort of queue system or check if there is one already running don't start another.

This feature really needs to be improved upon. It just causes way too much system resource strain at this time due to the lack of limitations on it.

 

Well I'll make a ticket but I have many servers and this can be observed on any of them. I'll just give you guys access to one.

I'm really skeptical this change was thought through which is very frustrating. All it takes is one user with a bunch of add-on domains to start removing them one after another and it'll bring a server to it's knees. Even if CPU watch is working it's an inefficient process to be doing the stats run for the entire account when the intention is to clear out the logs and bandwidth for just one of the domains.

 

I have an open ticket about it and so far it's been confirmed that it does a stats run on the account upon each add-on domain or subdomain removal. So I guess the questions are

1. Is cpuwatch working properly
2. Should there be a design change to prevent multiple ones running
3. Should the stats processing have the ability to only process one subdomain/domain rather than an entire account to reduce load as it's only necessary to stats run the subdomain removed not every single one.

We'll see where the ticket goes on this issue.

 

Six months later and I don't think this is still fixed? The 11.25 change logs have no mention of it so I assume that's so. It's a really awful bug in my opinion. People delete add-on domains all the time and some do it in bunches. So we get a bunch of stats runs for the same thing. It probably should also be doing a queue of the restarts of the web server as well...
