What is cpanelsolr process and how to disable it on cPanel servers

According to our experts, cpanelsolr was introduced by cPanel in version 64. This service uses Java to index email messages. In other words, it boosts the search speed drastically. Cpanelsolr is managed by Dovecot.

In fact, cpanelsolr can be described as software that manages the Dovecot text searches for Roundcube as well as Horde.

However, it is not recommended to use it unless we have high email traffic as it tends to consume a lot of memory.

We can easily disable cpanel solr with the following steps:

1. First, we must log in to WHM with the root user account.
2. Then, choose Service Manager.
3. Next, disable the Enable and Monitor checkboxes next to the cpanel-dovecot-solr service.
4. Finally, click Save for the changes to take effect.

After the above steps, cpanel-dovecot-solr service will be disabled. As a result, memory usage will be reduced. Our experts would like to point out that we should disable this service if we have problems with it or the system is running a low amount of memory. Any system with 4GB ram or more running the defaults offered by cPanel will not have an issue with leaving cpanel solr enabled.
