I'm runnning Directadmin with apache2 and MariaDB server. But I'm having a hard time to understand why my server's CPU usage is so high.

htop screenshot

When I try to look what is happening with strace, for some reason it is stuck on read(7,.

[root@s1 my.cnf.d]# strace -p 6780
strace: Process 6780 attached
read(7,

But when I try to see what files are open (with htop by pressing l), they are constantly changing. Problem started few days ago, average request count per second did not change. I'm trying lots of various methods to check the problem, but can't find any solution.

Apache server-info:
