This guide demonstrates how to remove a service from ChkServd monitoring for cPanel servers and requires root user access. In some circumstances, ChkservD cPanel monitoring will report the status of services which are not installed on the server.
What Causes the Issue?
This is a common occurrence when software is removed from the server. Software uninstall scripts often do not include any update to cPanel monitoring, causing ChkServd to incorrectly report the missing service as "Down."
How to Remove a Service from ChkServd Monitoring for cPanel Servers
If this happens, you should remove the service from the list of services cPanel is monitoring. This will conserve server resources while eliminating false alerting.
Recommended Method
The quickest method to remove the service from ChkServd is by editing the file "/etc/chkserv.d/chkservd.conf" from the command line.
Login via SSH as root and run the following command to open the editor:
nano /etc/chkserv.d/chkservd.conf
Find and remove the service entirely from the list of monitored services.
Restart Chkservd service by running the following:
/scripts/restartsrv_chkservd
ChkServd will no longer monitor this service.
