Limit resources per user

As the title says, plesk panel should be able to limit these resources, for example, per system user.

Resources:
RAM, CPU (%/cores), Maximum Processes per user

-->including a automatic banning solution

(cpanel has this functionality)

Hi everyone,

The ability to control system resource usage via Service Plans and Subscription limits is now available in Plesk Onyx previews. The following resources can be limited by this feature:

CPU
RAM
Disk I/O

Note: this ability is based on CGroups (Control Groups) feature of Linux kernel, so it’s available only on OSes with systemd (for example: Centos 7, Debian 8 and Ubuntu 16.4).

We encourage you to check the implementation and let us know what you think. Please visit the following forum thread to learn how to access the preview: https://talk.plesk.com/threads/plesk-onyx-preview-and-feedback.337172

How to try this feature:

1. Make sure you have an OS with systemd
2. Go to Tools & Settings > Services Management (in the Server Management group) and start the Resource Controller (cgroups) service.
3. Open a service plan (or go to subscription properties) and click the RAM, CPU Disk I/O tab.

We would appreciate hearing your feedback on implementation of this functionality. Thanks in advance!

We are working on the system user limits (RAM, CPU, Disk I/O) in Plesk Onyx. Next preview (ETA: ~Julay 20) will enable the feature.

This is definitely something we're interested in. Some kind of functionality to stop rouge sites from having major impacts on all other customers. I know that CloudLinux is a potential solution, but as far as I know, that is CentOS only. We chose Plesk specifically because it supports Ubuntu/Debian, and don't want to switch to CentOS just for this.

I think this can be rejected in favour of using CloudLinux - especially as it should be supported on Virtuozzo/PCS soon too.

Yes, one site due to code leak or other takes all others sites down! This feature would really be awesome!

Yes it is a good idea to do that, it is the only thing I think plesk does not have to be the ideal hosting manager, include this also in windows version please

Edit:

Check the file
/etc/security/limits.conf (debian/ubuntu - i don't know, but this file should be in all linux systems)

-->should be easy to implement
