Does collect_stats.sh part of OpenPanel?

kabay

Hi everyone,
I recently noticed a ct_set_limits entry in my VPS Latest Actions (2026-04-27 at 07:32) that I didn't trigger myself. After contacting support, I was told it was caused by a brief CPU spike to ₉₇% from a script called collect_stats.sh, which caused Hostinger's automated system to apply a CPU throttle as a precautionary measure and the server wasn't accessible.
Does anyone know if collect_stats.sh is part of OpenPanel? And if so, is there a more reliable fix or a better solution to prevent this from happening again?
Any advice or shared experience would be appreciated. Thanks!

kabay yes it is - here's the script for reference

How many users are currently on your server, and what are the total CPU/RAM specs?

opencli docker-collect_stats --all runs via cron every hour to update disk/CPU/RAM stats shown to users. You can adjust this in OpenAdmin → Advanced → Cron Jobs:
https://openpanel.com/docs/admin/advanced/crons/

For example, you can reduce the frequency to once every 4 hours or if it's your private server (no other users) you don't really need the stats at all, so you can edit the schedule to run once per day only during off-peak hours.

I've now also updated the script so it no longer processes all users in full parallel. It now limits concurrency to 2 × number_of_CPU_cores (so on a 2-core server, up to 4 users are processed at the same time).

Update with:

opencli update --cli

Then check whether it improves performance in your setup.

Thanks for the response, there is only one user. For the specs it's an 8 core CPU with 32GB .
