Question
How to identify the domain PHP process that consumes CPU resources?
Answer
Server load can be monitored with the command top -c.
If the website is using FastCGI handler, the whole path will be shown to the file php.ini in the utility output. In this path the domain will be:
# top -c
12479 john_doe 20 0 362156 39324 29044 S 13.6 1.9 0:00.41 /usr/bin/php5-cgi -c /var/www/vhosts/system/example.com/etc/php.ini
....
If the website is using FPM handler, the utility output will be the following:
# top -c
16397 john_doe 20 0 370640 31544 21292 S 12.6 1.5 0:00.38 php-fpm: pool example.om
