We recently setup Direct Admin a server. This is the first time i have used it. I keep getting these "Excessive resource usage"emails to my smartphone email app.

I get a lot of them every hour. I can't find anywhere in the admin panel to stop these notifications to my email.

I don't need the server sending server issue notifications to emails. I can just log into the server and check.

How to stop these emails? I have looked everywhere!

those are LFD Alerts.

Got to DA Admin > Configserver Firewall (CSF)

There you can configure it, and you should.
 
I found the template of the email i am receiving in the area you described but i am still not able to find anyway to turn it off. I see no options anywhere.

i found this setting PT_USERPROC and set it to 100

It seems to have done nothing. The emails are still coming
 
If you don't find it in there (not all options are in there) then login as root via SSH.
Then go to /etc/csf and edit the csf.conf in there.
Check en XX_EMAIL_ALERT settings, where XX can be LF or SSH or other things, there are multiple in there.

It said, set to 0 to disable it.

Also, a number of these "excessive usage" things are processes which you can easily disable by adding them in the csf.pignore file.
For example.
Code:
exe:/bin/dbus-daemon
exe:/usr/bin/dbus-daemon

Don't forget to restart csf and lfd after making changes, this can be done is ssh via the csf -ra command.
 
it's the PT USERTIME not USERPROC

you can configure it as 0, if you want to totally disable it.
