Introduction

When managing a server through WHM (Web Host Manager), it’s crucial to monitor the performance and health of your MySQL/MariaDB databases. Long-running or stuck database processes can cause slow performance or downtime for websites. WHM provides tools to view current MySQL processes so that administrators can identify, analyze, and terminate problematic queries or users.

Prerequisites

• Root or administrative access to WHM
• A basic understanding of MySQL/MariaDB

Step-by-step guide

Conclusion

Monitoring database activity via WHM is an essential skill for system administrators managing cPanel-based hosting environments. The “Show Database Processes” tool provides a real-time overview of database usage, helping identify slow queries, abusive users, or overloaded databases.
