WHM version:
102.0.28
Server:
CentOS 7.9
Goooood morning.
We do not use PHP-FPM on the server, with our PHP systems being run via suphp (for better or worse).
This has been standard forever, we have NEVER turned on PHP-FPM. But today, for the first time I'm noticing two distinct things:
1) A specfic account is stating as having PHP FPM pool users on the process manager.
2) This same specific account is has some PHP scripts running with huge CPU usage; almost 20.00 usage from a single script.
Please see the screenshots below to show the status of PHP FPM .
My question is :
I have read Cpanel FPM documentation and this doesn't seem to make me any wiser (because, I have no experience of FPM) . I have also read similar posts but they're not clarifying what can be going on here (maybe unrelated)
What can be the possible causes of this activity?
I do not believe it to be incidental things such as Backup creation or webmail, as I say, these are both brand new activities we've not seen on the server before and curious where they came from and if we can mitigate them or revert them.

AND

Thank you.
