  • 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.

Resolved Why are notifications for CPU usage turned off by default?

brownbag

Basic Pleskian
In advanced monitoring I notice that you can get notified if certain services have high memory usage and if you have used up too much disk space. You can also be notified for high CPU usage.

Yet the defaults in Plesk are to send notifications for high memory usage but not for CPU usage. I'm wondering why this is the case. Is it just too common for CPU to spike and would this cause false positives?

TIA.
 
Hi brownbag,

Currently, CPU usage is measured in microseconds, and it causes difficulties in suggesting "good defaults" for each Plesk server. When Advanced Monitoring can convert this metric to percentages based on the total capacity of microseconds for each CPU, Advanced Monitoring will be able to suggest default thresholds for CPU too.

That makes sense. thanks.
