Cpanellogd Running During Peak Hours

[ramorse]

I have statistics configured to NOT run between 6 and 20 hours. Yet on one server it consistently starts running around 10 AM every day causing high loads. An ideas on how to prevent this?

Hello

Please check the output of your "/etc/stats.conf" file. You should see a line such as:

BLACKHOURS=

It should list the hours that statistics are configured to not process. Note that the "cpanellogd" process itself may still be running. Are you sure it's actually generating statistics and not just bandwidth, or that it did not already start generating the statistics before the blackout time started?

Thank you.

OK, yes. Thanks. /etc/stats.conf does have: BLACKHOURS=6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20

But I looked at top and what is running is checking bandwidth specifically. Where can I configure that?

 

[cPanelMichael]

Bandwidth processing will not observe blackout hours in cPanel version 11.38 and earlier. Per case 60571, cPanel version 11.40 (11.39 development build) implements a change so that bandwidth processing observes blackout hours.

Thank you.

Yeesh. Any indication when that will be available as a RELEASE version?

There is currently no exact time frame available on when cPanel 11.40 will be pushed to the "Release" build tier. The most recent estimate has it being released as a production build around September/October but that is subject to change.

Thank you.

OK. So, until then there is no way to control when bandwidth processing runs?

I need this to work as well - its been frustrating me for months - the process can consume up to 60% of server resources. If it was run with a lower priority I could leave it, but our websites become sluggish sometimes while it is running.

What can we do, till this latest fix is implemented in RELEASE version?

Cheers,
Pete

You can only control how often it runs by modifying the "Bandwidth Processing Frequency" option in:

"WHM Home » Server Configuration » Statistics Software Configuration"

Thank you.

At:

WHM » Server Configuration » Tweak Settings

You can adjust:

"I/O priority level at which bandwidth usage is processed"

and

"I/O priority level at which stats logs are processed"

to see if that helps any.

Thanks Folks,

The problem is that the updatebandmin process can hit 60-90% of the processor during normal business hours..I'll wait for version 11.40 I guess
