Load average

[000]

Hi,

My not found the URL:

WHM > Service Configuratioin > Apache Setup

Please, where I can found the URL [Load Averages] ???


Why?, becouse I have several process as this:

16978 nobody  20  0  180m 8512 3172 S  0.0  0.1  0:00.13 /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -k start -DSSL

... what is this?

Why I have more of 100 process as this?

Thanks

Check you server for attack. If there are lots of nobody connections then there must be attack or heavy traffic. I will suggest you to check how many apache connections you are having on server by using netstat command.

Also try to find out that nobody connections are coming from which IP and try to block IP in firewall or iptables.

And...

Some idea about URL:

WHM > Service Configuratioin > Apache Setup ???

Please, where I can found the URL [Load Averages] ???

Yes that configuration is for tweaking the Apache settings as per your server connection. You can refer below link:

https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/ALD/Global+Configuration

Please, where I can found the URL [Load Averages] ???

You can login to the server via SSH and use sar -q command to check load average of the server.

???

Is danger ?

Or samplely is normal users in web ?

 

[24x7ss]

Load average is normal for your server so no issue with it. Regarding nobody connections it can be normal users or there may be a chance that from single IP lots of connections are hitting your server.

I will recommend you to check how much connections you are having on port 80 ? Are they from single IP or from multiple IP's ? If connections are from single IP then you can try blocking that IP.

... check how much connections you are having on port 80

Thanks.

¿how I can check this number?
¿how I can detect #IP of X connection in particular?

Hello,

The usage looks normal, but feel free to review the following thread if you are concerned about the load average:

Thank you.
