[ACFUG Discuss] CF8 - Dev server pegs the CPU every few hours an hangs

2010-07-26 Thread Rudi Shumpert
Folks,

I'm having an issue with CF8-Standard on a win2003 server that had been
running fine for more than a year, all of a sudden just dying.  The cpu gets
to 100% and just stays there until I force a restart of the CF services.

The server is patched up and it gets minimal traffic as it is a dev server
behind a firewall.

Any ideas on things I should be looking for?  I'm stuck at this point.

-Rudi

Could be many things - very first thing I would do would be to put
Fusion Reactor or SeeFusion on it and start capturing some stack
traces.

Since it has minimal traffic I would look for anything else running
(scheduled tasks?  event gateways?) that might be hitting the box even
though you are not doing much on it via the browser.  Setting up
monitoring really is going to be the best bet though...

I’d say to fire up the monitor in CF admin. I’ve seen a similar situation 
before where the server would inexplicably go berserk with CPU usage and 
discovered that it was under some sort of attack. This was evidenced by 
multiple sessions coming from the same IP (traced it to China). This was 
improper, of course, and a huge red flag.

When I discovered this, I changed the IIS settings for all sites to disable 
anonymous connection and force a Windows logon. That cleared it right up.

Not sure if your situation is the same, but maybe that helps.

Hi,

Can you check the coldfusion-out.log and coldfusion-err.log files found in
and tell what is the size of both the files? Not sure if err file is still
available in CF 8 or not. Also look at other logs to see what was going on.

I dont know if you have Fusion Reactor or Fusion Debug or you monitor using
CF 8 monitor. You can see what page or pages are running at that time. See
if its running requests or too many requests. One or the other will get the
server down in some cases.

Just some suggestions.

Oh, and I forgot to ask, do you happen to use client variables by any
chance? If yes, then I would look at that as well especially client purge
and count of records in CDATA CGlobal.
