cPanel: Check Users That Hit Limit Resource

This guide will assist you how to check user(s) that suspected hit limit the resource of server on cPanel platform. This action only can be done when cPanel server is using CloudLinux. It is better to use command line instead of panel interface (browser) due to resource issue.

Diagnose the Issue:

# lveinfo --period=1d --by-fault=mep --display-usernam

You can also monitor the user by running:

# lvetop

You can always increase entry processes limit by running:

# lvectl set USER_ID -–maxEntryProcs NEW_LIMIT save

Disclaimer

If you also see that user is hitting CPU limit at the same time at the same time as entry processes limit, raising just entry processes limit will not help. User is using too much resources, and you should either increase both, CPU and entry process limits, or user should optimize their script, or user should be upgraded to VPS or something similar.

Be careful adjusting entry processes limit, as it can adversely affect overall system stability.
