serious load, multiple servers same issue

[NoAgendas]

What you see here is the same load caused by the running processes shown on multiple cpanel boxes.

Anyone know a resolution?

Reboot doesn't even solve it

forced cpanel upgrade, forced mysql, recompiling apache doesn't solve it either

That's usually caused by one of the tools from rfxnetworks.com, usually LSM. You'll have to kill off the processes. If it keeps happening, you'll have to remove the tool and look for one that better checks that it isn't looping.

I restarted cron after removing /etc/cron.d/lsm and same high load

I cannot kill grep processes because they are all various ip's

I have these installed

apf
bfd
lsm
les
sim
spri
prm

You need to kill the netstat process if it is still running:

killall -9 netstat

I wouldn't recommend running SIM as it clashes with chkservd and causes a race condition starting service.
