cPanel plugin

[rick]

Beta of cPanel plugin was just released:

http://www.cloudlinux.com/docs/whmplugin.php

Looks great ! Will this plugin be part of the cloudlinux package or will we pay an extra for it ?

[iseletsk]

This plugin is included in CLN subscription, so there is no extra fees for it.
It is not in production repository, and you should be able to install it.

We are going to release beta version of another cPanel plugin on Monday (this one for end users)

http://www.cloudlinux.com/docs/cpanel-enduser-plugin.php

I would like to get some feedback on how we present CPU usage.
The problem is that I don want to show user that he is using 5% CPU out of 25% CPU that is his limit. It will be a problem when customer is on 8 core or 16 core systems -- where they are limited by 5% to 10% of CPU resources.

So, right now I set 100% to be the total amount of CPU customer can use (his limit), and calculate usage accordingly.
It doesn feel perfect.

One other option that I don like too much: I can set 100% at 1 CORE, and display usage/limit relative to that.
If someone has other suggestions -- please.

We are going to expand this two plugins a bit more in the coming weeks, once we attach our stats to rrdtool, and collect historical information. Once that is done -- it should become more useful to everyone. Yet, even now, I hope this is a step forward.

The WHM plugin looks useful, but we doubt we will ever install the end user cpanel plugin as we believe most clients will not use it or understand it.

I installed the end user plugin via the instructions here: http://www.cloudlinux.com/docs/cpane...ser-plugin.php

However, the extra stats aren showing in my user cpanel accounts. We
e using a slightly restyled version of the "Black Ice" cpanel style for user accounts. Could that be why?

[iseletsk]

Yes, this is most likely the reason. See
/usr/share/lve/cpanelplugin/ for patch files that we use to patch original cPanel skin.
Most likely you will need to patch yours manually.

Hello, Igor
Could you please help me..
we have installed trial version of CL at one of our servers, and want to use LVE module for our users..we installed it and it shows in users stats in x3 theme but in the max allowed concurrent connection is showing 0 in x3 and empty in x2 theme..

for x3
Concurrent Connections 0 / 0

for x2
Concurrent Connections 0 /

could you please help me?
we have 30 in the lve settings in whm for max allowed concurent connections
we have following package
Package lve-cpanel-plugin-0.1-4.el5.cloudlinux.noarch already installed and latest version
Thanks

Could you check that:

You are running LVE kernel (uname -r should show kernel name with lve in the name)
lvetop shows some output.

lve-stats package is installed and running.
To do that:
rpm -qa lve-stats
ps auxw|grep lvestats

If package is installed, but not running, start it up by
/etc/init.d/lvestats start

It should take a minute for data to appear.

If it is running -- I will need access to the server (not sure if I can figure it out remotely) to understand what is going on.

looks like no lve core.. am i right?

thanks for promt reply

[iseletsk]

Yes, strange kernel, I don understand where it came from.
Could you give output of
rpm -qa |grep kernel

Also, is it inside of VZ container? Our kernel always has lve in its name (at least for the past 6 month). Maybe it is very old kernel?
Our kernel should also be version: 2.6.18-294... not 264.., so what every you are running as kernel looks very old.

[romanvaluev]

rpm -qa |grep kernel
kernel-debug-2.6.18-294.8.1.el5.lve0.7.33.1
kernel-headers-2.6.18-294.26.1.el5.lve0.7.45
kernel-2.6.18-264.11.1.el5.17.cloudlinux
no it is not in VZ..
for me it looks like not the right kernel is loaded and that;s the problem..

[iseletsk]

very old kernel package (back from Apr 2010)
do: yum install kernel
You should get kernel-2.6.18-294.26.1.el5.lve0.7.45

If you don get this kernel, make sure you are registered with cln:
# rhn_check
should return without any error message, or anything at all

And check that yum.conf doesn have kernel excluded.

[romanvaluev]

simple reboot did the trick
uname -r
2.6.18-294.26.1.el5.lve0.7.45

thanks a lot for your help and assistance
