Wordpress Toolkit, executable wpt-panopticon

[marcuszan]

Hi,

I am getting excessive resource usage from this executable

/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/wp-toolkit/bin/wpt-panopticon

When I Google this, I find zero. Does anyone know some more about this wpt-panopticon ??

Thanks

Hey there! I reached out to the WordPress Toolkit team and the let me know this is an experimental utility that runs certain WordPress Toolkit calls without using the "sudo" command. However, they are very interested in taking a look at this. Could you please create a support ticket so we can pass that over to the WordPress Toolkit team?

Same issue here, started fairly recently. I seem to get one warning per cpanel account.

@marcuszan - can you let me know the ticket number once you've had a chance to create that?

It is marked solved now, I don't know why

 

[cPRex]

It shows that you clicked the "solved" button on your side when I check the ticket log. I'll adjust that on my end so one of our analysts can continue working with you through the ticket.

 

[kcroy]

Experiencing this issue as well. Should I open a ticket, or wait to hear back from OP, and solution provided to him?

 

[Lolfust]

Facing same issue since few days, should we open ticket too?

 

[cPRex]

We've been a bit busy the last day, but we'll be getting OP's ticket over to the WordPress Toolkit team soon.

My Inbox has been chock full all week of LFD alerts generated by

/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/wp-toolkit/bin/wpt-panopticon

I'm reluctant to add it to my ignore list until I know what it's doing, why and (most importantly) how I disable it for excessive resource consumption.
Can you give the WP Toolkit team a nudge please.
Thanks

At this point we're waiting on the OP to approve the work that WPT would like to perform on the server. @marcuszan - have you had a chance to check the ticket?

I've had this query run on my server two days now - yesterday and today, for what seems like once per account. I'm curious about it bcause there is nothing on Google. My inclincation is to disable wp-toolkit. Should I be doing that?

Hi,
yes. I gave cPanel support SSH access to my server. They took a look and asked me to provide additional SSH access to the WPT team . I was also asked to give permission to them to perfom some tests on my server, restart services and create Wordpress instances to do some testing.

For me this is not a good option. I don't want to give SSH access to another third party ( WPT is developed by Plesk as I understood ), so they can do some testing that I have no control of, on my production server.
As the issue seems to happen on more servers than only mine, I would prefer the WPT ( Plesk ) team would use a test setup.
Sorry I can't help anymore on this right now.

Also seeing this, given how widespread this is can't WPT just undo whatever change was pushed recently to cause this higher memory usage?

If its an experimental feature why are we seeing this in our production environments?

Same issue here, started recently. It seems I get one warning per cpanel account. Has this been solved somehow? Thanks!

 

[kcroy]

@cPRex as OP will not provide the required access to troubleshoot. What is our next step here?

 

[cPRex]

I spoke with the WPT team and they are going to disable this feature on all WPT installs until more testing has been done.
