strange cpsrvd-ssl & mysql load

[theoxgr]

hi i would appreciate your help with this one...

opening up my server this morning i had memory increase and load from cpsrvd-ssl followed by mysql load.

i am using ssl only for my main WHM control panel. but i noticed in my newrelic monitoring that many accounts in the last 12hours hit ssl connections. is this an attack via ssl ports on my clients cpanels? i also checked for a ddos attack with some commands but there is none. the tcp connections are normal.

my VPS has 4cpus core-i7 & 4gb of ram.

Hello

The information you provided does not indicate any specific attack on the SSL service. Are you positive it's not legitimate traffic? The following thread may be helpful to you:

Thank you.

you are right, now it seems ok. the load has gone back to normal. also i did some tuning on my /etc/my.cnf and the vps is responding much faster!!! every day i am learning something new. the link you provided also gives out good advice.
