we have a client with a busy and complex WordPress site that is triggering the php-fpm pool virtual memory size trigger all day everyday

Resource: Virtual Memory Size
Exceeded: 1096 > 1024 (MB)
Executable: /opt/cpanel/ea-php74/root/usr/sbin/php-fpm

the site is secure and is running as it should, so we know theres nothing malicious or anything happening just the false positive alerts are really annoying.. it says the limit for the setting is 1024, but can it be increased passed this without issue? i tried setting it to 1536 and got a Sanith check error message.

alternatively is there a way to diagnose what ion particular is triggering it?

You need to add the following line (exactly as it appears):

exe:/opt/cpanel/ea-php74/root/usr/sbin/php-fpm

To the following file:
pignore

You should modify pignore in CSF under the section:
lfd - Login Failure Daemon

Then open:
csf.pignore - process tracking

and add the line in there and save, that's it.
