I got this from my server this morning.. ouch, I have never had this before and it sounds pretty serious. Not sure which log files it's processing either.<br /><br /> [] IMPORTANT: Do not ignore this email.<br /> This is cPanel stats runner on eric.vhfans.com!<br /> While processing the log files for user vhfansco, the cpu has been <br />maxed out for more then a 6 hour period. The current load/uptime line on the server at the time of <br />this email is<br /> 03:13:23 up 12 days, 6:32, 0 users, load average: 2.11, 1.58, 1.37<br /> You should check the server to see why the load is so high and take <br />steps to lower the load. If you want stats to continue to run even with a high load; Edit <br />/var/cpanel/cpanel.config and change extracpus to a number larger then 0 (run <br />/usr/local/cpanel/startup afterwards to pickup the changes).<br /> [/]

Well, luckily a server load of right around 2 (provided it is a fairly high-end server) is not all that serious, but it looks like there is still a problem.<br /><br />First of all, cPanel defaults to any server load over 1.00 as high and you will get an alert. 1 is not critical, and infact, probably isn't even enough of a load to really show any signs of performance degredation. <br /><br />What is probably happening is your log files are just getting huge and bogging your server down when stats are processing.<br /><br />If you have a dual processor server, you may want to consider this:<br /><br />edit /var/cpanel/cpanel.config<br />search for extracpus= and change the value from 0 to 2 or even 3.<br />save, close and execute /usr/local/cpanel/startup<br /><br />This will raise your server load threshold so that your stats won't stop running with a measely 1.00 server load.<br /><br />Second, while that will help eliminate the emails and the stats from not processing, I would recommend also disabling AWstats if you do not use them. I don't find awstats very useful at all compared to webalizer or urchin, so there is no need to process awstats if you don't use them right? <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <br /><br />You can disable awstats globablly in WHM and I think even indivudally per account as well.

Thanks for the info, Jeremy. I never use AWstats so I will go ahead and disable it and see if that helps some.
