How can I check memory/ram usage for each cPanel account?

[MinaIsaac]

Hello,

Currently I have 4 cPanel accounts running on my VPS. I need to check the memory/ram usage for each account on the vps to identify which of them is using high resources in order to ban. I opened the "Daily Process Log" in WHM but it is not showing the username or which accounts exactly uses resources.

WHM displayes the following under the "User" column:
root, nobody, mysql, dovenull, dovecot, mailnull, mailman, sshd, named, DELAYED, leechprotect, eximstats


Thank you.

Try to log into your VPS via SSH and run " top" which should give you more details on this or ask your host/server admin to help you with identifying this for you.

That says no cPanel account is using major system resources. Monitoring the top command output is a good option; you may set a script to get the usage information in a fixed interval and that can provide some info to you. If you strictly want to check and limit server resources for users, use CloudLinux.

Hello

You may want to consider a third-party application such as Cloud Linux if you want to monitor and limit accounts based on resource usage. You can find more information about Cloud Linux at:

CloudLinux | cPanel

Thank you.

besides cloud linux, there is no report to know how to check memory/ram usage for each cPanel account, whm or command line? really?

i have found this:

TOTAL=$(free | awk '/Mem:/ { print $2 }')
for USER in $(ps haux | awk '{print $1}' | sort -u)
do
ps hux -U $USER | awk -v user=$USER -v total=$TOTAL '{ sum += $6 } END { printf "%s %.2f\n", user, sum / total * 100; }'
done

What i need is to know this for a period of time

There are no native features included with cPanel/WHM that will report that information over a set time period, but you are welcome to develop a custom script that monitors the usage over time and produces a report based on that data.

Thank you.
