Excessive resource usage (LFD)




Posted by ZKuJoe, 08-13-2009, 03:13 PM
So I migrated my clients from a dedicated server to a server I have colocated and split up into a few VPSs. Right now the only active containers are the VPS housing my clients and a VPS being used as a DNS server. The virtuals are Xen based and the main VPS is set to have priority CPU usage and disk IO along with the ability to use all 4 cores while the other is limited to 2 cores. That being said I'm getting a lot more "Excessive resource usage" e-mails from LFD than I did on the old server and mainly because of memory usage. I have increased the maximum memory per process to 128MB from 96MB but I am still seeing a lot of processing using more than 128MB of RAM which never happened on the old server. Is there something I should look at to figure why these sites are using more memory on this server than the other? I have Apache configured exactly the same on both servers so I don't know if there is some optimization that is more beneficial for a VPS than a dedicated server. Any help?

FYI. http://www.configserver.com/cp/csf.html to disable the E-mail from being sent out for SSH connections add the following to /etc/csf/csf.pignore: exe:/usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server

Oh wow, you don't read anything before you post do you? This is my second thread you have replied to without even taking a second to read the original post.

Would the new machine and its VPSs be running x64, perhaps? That seems to increase memory usage significantly over i386.
