How to stop bandwidth logging on high traffic server?

[racakg]

Hello, I have high traffic server with only one account. I want to completely stop bandwidth logging because cpanellogd proccessing my bandwidth log unnecessary (every 8 hours) and use high CPU utilization for a couple of minutes.

I use cPanel 11.25.0-S46156 - WHM 11.25.0 with Piped Log enabled.

What should i do?

WHM -> Tweak settings -> you can disable all stats packages there.

Thank you for you answer eth00.

Can you please be more specific, what should i have to check/uncheck there?

In "Stats Programs" all is unchecked already.

In order to do this, I believe you'll need to black out all the stats processing hours. In WHM > Statistics Software Configuration area, click on the button on the far bottom right of "Configure Statistic Process Time Schedule", then check every single hour of the day in the new screen under "Statistics Processing Times" and click the Save button.

Now, I'm wondering if you change the "Process bandwidth every 2 hours." area back in Statistics Software Configuration area to 0, if that would mean it never runs? I've never tried to shut down bandwidth, so you might try changing that to either a really high number or 0 to see the results. Blocking out every hour of the day from stats processing should conceivably prevent it from processing any stats (bandwidth and log files).

I was check every single hour of the day under "Statistics Processing Times" and set "Process bandwidth every 8 hours" but bandwidth is still processing every 8 hours.

I am not shure what will happen if I set "Process bandwidth every 0 hours". This is high traffic server (10TB montly traffic) and I am afraid to make unsuspected error.

I didn't just mention 0, I alternatively suggested a very high number (8 wouldn't be a really high number). Try instead to put like 999, which is 41 days.

 

[racakg]

ok, but what should I expect after 41 days with CPU when bandwidth processing start? I am afraid of all day bandwidth processing then.

Hopefully, you would have opened a ticket within that timeframe to ask how to properly get the bandwidth stopped, since checking every hour to stop bandwidth processing should have stopped it. I am still uncertain why it would process bandwidth when you have every day blocked off from having it processed.

To open a ticket, go to WHM > Support Center > Contact cPanel for that. Also, once you do have the issue resolved, if you could reply back here on this thread to let us know how it was finally fixed to stop bandwidth processing for your machine.

Hello,

In order to stop bandwidth logging, you will need to remove all Bandmin related crons for the root user, you will also need to disable Bandmin from running on boot:

chkconfig --del bandmin

After this, you will need to stop Bandmin:

/usr/local/bandmin/bandminstop

This should disable bandwidth logging
