Scenario: We have a shared hosting solution (DirectAdmin, if important to know) with 30-40 clients per server. Every now and then one of the clients gets loads of traffic due to advertisements or of any other reason.<br />
<br />
We need a way to fast and efficiently find this client so that we can Suspend or move it over to another server, to not let all the other clients on the same server &quot;hang&quot; due to the fact that all resources (CPU etc) gets overloaded.<br />
<br />
We have thought of writing a small script that checks which Apache logfiles are growing fastest, using the META information on the files, and then assume which client that needs to be blocked.<br />
<br />
Are there any ready-made solution for this? Or does anyone have any better solution?<br />
<br />
We are using pfSense as firewall, and so if we could track them down there that would be even better.

Python is a widely used general-purpose, high-level programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be possible in other languages. Python supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, imperative and functional programming or procedural styles. It features a dynamic type system and automatic memory management and has a large and comprehensive set of standard libraries, including NumPy, SciPy, Django, PyQuery, and PyLibrary.

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
