[statscheck] Stats/Server Overload For the Past few Days

IMPORTANT: Do not ignore this email.
 This is cPanel stats runner on server27130.santrex.net!
 While processing the log files for user miccy, the cpu has been
maxed out for more than a 6 hour period.  The current load/uptime line on the server at the time of
this email is
 00:06:45 up 8 days, 26 min,  0 users,  load average: 5.68, 6.32, 6.92
- Hide quoted text -
 You should check the server to see why the load is so high and take
steps to lower the load.  If you want stats to continue to run even with a high load; Edit
/var/cpanel/cpanel.config and change extracpus to a number larger then 0 (run
/usr/local/cpanel/startup afterwards to pickup the changes).

Code (markup):

I receive this kind of email like every 4 hours, is something wrong with the server?

Thanks

 

It seems that your server load is more than 5 since last few hours that's why you are receiving this message. You will need to check the processes running on your server as soon as possible. There is a chance that some malicious processes are running on your server. You can use top -c command to check running processes on the server (in SSH). If this is managed server, I suggest you to update your provider in this matter.

Definitely run top, then either restart the service, or kill the process using:
killall -9 processname
