High Ram Usage on Direct Admin via httpd

HostingbotHostingbot Member, Host Rep

Hey all,

Curious, but is anyone else having issues with Direct Admin eating a ton of server resources (RAM) due to httpd? We got ~13.5GB RAM allocated to it (other 2.5GB being used by system etc) and need to reboot the system daily to fix the issue. Anyone got any suggestions on what might be causing the massive amount of Ram usage?

    You should be track any of running apps first and find the problematic app/task. Some running tasks use too much ram without obvious reason.

    Monitor hosted websites and identify which one eating your server resources and kill that

    Should he go ahead and kill his own website ? If that is the problem? :)

    Hello, OP did not mentioned that the server hosting his own single website or multiple client's website. I just gave him a suggestion and not solution. And kill that doesn't mean he should shutdown the whole website.

    For solution he still have to monitor and identify the apps/program/module causing the issue like @uni9 suggested.

    For solution you say he should monitor ? What exactly and how . Of course he should monitor this is common sense :)

    For a more visual overview of all server activity and where you can get a detailed breakdown of almost everything I'd suggest trying out Netdata (https://www.netdata.cloud/) easy to install and read and might point you in the right direction.

    My apologies - I had not noticed the original posting date while replying. Since the topic is still open for replies and since I was actually pointing people in the direction of useful software I don't think my post was all that offensive, really :) But thanks for the heads up, I will be more cautious looking at when the OP was made.
