This feature displays information about your server's consumption of processing power and memory. The processes that run on your server depend on the following factors:
- Your WHM configuration.
- Your installed daemons and applications.
- Your users' installed daemons and applications.
Select the Day
The top of the interface displays yesterday's, today's, and tomorrow's dates. To view information for a date, click the appropriate link.
Usage by User
The Usage by User table displays usage for each user on the server. This allows you to check which users use the most resources on your server.
This table includes the following columns:
|
Column
|
Description
|
|---|---|
| User | The name of the user. |
| Domain |
The primary domain for the user. Note: The column only displays domains for users that are cPanel accounts. The column is empty when the user is a daemon or a system user.
|
| %CPU | The average daily percentage of the CPU's processing power that the user consumes. |
| %MEM | The average daily percentage of RAM that the user consumes. |
| MySQL Processes | The average number of MySQL® processes for the user. |
Note:
The ps uxaww command collects the above information about the user, CPU, and MEM.
- This command runs every five minutes as part of the
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/dcpumoncron job, as therootuser. - The system stores the process's data in the
/var/log/dcpumonlog file in ASCII format.
Top Processes
The Top Processes table shows the individual processes that consumed the most CPU that day. This table displays processes that have, at one time, used a large number of resources (top processes). Top process may only run for a few seconds, or for much longer. As a result, a top process may not actually consume a significant percentage of the resources on the server for a specified day.

| %CPU | The highest percentage of the CPU that this process used. | For example, this column displays 19% CPU for a process that ran for three seconds and used the following amounts of processing power:
