  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Server Health reports high Apache CPU usage...

theWoosh

Basic Pleskian
Hi.
In the last few weeks I have been getting more and more 'alarm level changed' emails reporting:
"Services > Apache CPU usage" changed its status from "green" to "red"

I have examined my atop logs and I can't see any particularly high load at any of the times reported. I increased the default server health settings (<CpuTime> <service name="Web" monitor="true"><alarm level="red" threshold="40" type="percent"/><alarm level="yellow" threshold="35" type="percent"/>) but they still keep coming thick and fast...
Is it possible that this are false alarms? I read on another thread that there was a problem with misreporting on multiple cores, but that was old so I assumed it would be addressed by now...

Any thoughts on how to find out if there is indeed a problem or what levels I can safely and usefully set thresholds?

This is a Cloud-based twin core Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS installation running Plesk 12.0.18
Thanks
