Help! CPU load increase (logax process)
There's a huge load on CPU.
Initially it was 200% and now in jumps as high as 600%
I didn't change anything.
The last thing I tried to to was to remove OpenPanel admin panel, but it didn't go well (Apache didn't start at all), so I had to install it again.
I asked supported and they said:
> It appears that a process called "LOGAX" is consuming almost all of the resources on your Linode. I unfortunately am not familiar with the process so I couldn't say what it is.
Does anybody know what is this LOGAX process and why it takes all resources?
They asked for output for certain commands and here what it said:
