    Web Limits

    link Overview The <webLimits> element specifies TCP/IP connection and bandwidth limits. Every 60 seconds, a worker process checks how long it has been idle. If its current idle time is greater than the idle time-out value specified by the Windows Process Activation Service (WAS), the worker process initiates a shutdown. When you specify a nonzero value for the dynamicIdleThreshold attribute, WAS will dynamically reduce this idle time-out depending on the amount of RAM used. The dynamicIdleThreshold attribute represents the amount of committed physical RAM. For example, if your server has 2 gigabytes (GB) of physical memory installed and you set the dynamicIdleThreshold attribute value to 200, you have committed 200 percent (4 GB) of physical RAM for use.…

    Managing, Tuning, and Configuring Application Pools in IIS 7.0

    Microsoft Here The Microsoft Engineering Operations (MSCOM Ops) team uses both integrated and classic requestprocessing to manage application pools in Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0 to optimize performance and improve site availability at www.microsoft.com. In this article, we discuss how we leverage the benefits of the integrated requestprocessing mode, describe the configuration settings that we use to tune application pools, and explain which configuration changes result in application pool recycling. We also provide examples that demonstrate how you can configure application pools by using the appcmd.exe command line tool and IIS Manager. Using Integrated and Classic Request Processing Modes Microsoft® Windows Server™ 2003 and IIS 6.0 introduced the ability for Web…

    IIS Failure Settings for an Application Pool

    Microsoft website link here. Overview The <failure> element of the <add> element in the <applicationPools> collection configures the actions to take when an application pool fails. The autoShutdownExe, orphanActionExe, rapidFailProtection attributes of the <failure> element can be especially useful when troubleshooting or debugging applications, because they give you the flexibility to specify the action that Internet Information Services (IIS) will take when an application fails, such as running an external executable to log or debug the failure. Compatibility Version Notes IIS 10.0 The <failure> element was not modified in IIS 10.0. IIS 8.5 The <failure> element was not modified in IIS 8.5. IIS 8.0 The <failure> element was not modified in IIS 8.0. IIS 7.5 The <failure> element was not modified in IIS 7.5. IIS 7.0 The <failure> element was introduced in…

    Application pool stops randomly within in a specified time period: automatically disabled due to a series of failures

    Symptoms Application pool stops randomly within a specified time period. The following error can be found in Event Viewer. Cause Rapid-Fail Protection disables application pool if it crashes several times within a specified time period. Solution NRapid-Fail Protection prevents the failing application pool from getting into a continuous loop of crashing. This is useful when an application goes out of control which could overload the server.In general, it is better to review the application code to resolve crashes. To prevent an Application Pool from stopping, disable Rapid Fail Protection in IIS. Refer to this article for more information:

    Cluster Networking

    This is a sample of the event you will see in the System Event Log in Event Viewer: One specific problem that I have seen a few times lately is with the VMXNET3 adapters dropping inbound network packets because the inbound buffer is set too low to handle large amounts of traffic. We can easily find out if this is a problem by using Performance Monitor to look at the “Network Interface\Packets Received Discarded” counter. Once you have added this counter, look at the Average, Minimum and Maximum numbers and if they are any value higher than zero, then the receive buffer needs to be adjusted up for the adapter.…
