Hi,
we have got a problem with asp.net and we don't know what to do
Usually aspnet_wp.exe under medium/high load uses a maximum of 40% cpu
power.
Suddently even when requests are not so high it starts using 100% cpu.
Pages are so served in many seconds each (instead of few cents),
process threads and memory grows for all user new requests due to the
low speed or complete non working site. However we have not memory
problems (there is always enough free mem).
We can't understand what is using cpu and how to solve this problem.
It remains in this state for many minutes (sometimes hours...) if we
don't kill aspnet_wp.exe before. Even after process restarts aspnet
compile aspx files and in this moment the cpu is normally high for few
seconds.Then the cpu is on normal values also with many requests.
This problem returns sometimes after hours, often after few minutes.
In machine.config:
<processModel
enable="true"
timeout="Infinite"
idleTimeout="Infinite"
shutdownTimeout="0:00:05"
requestLimit="Infinite"
requestQueueLimit="600"
restartQueueLimit="10"
memoryLimit="60"
webGarden="false"
cpuMask="0xffffffff"
userName="machine"
password="AutoGenerate"
logLevel="Errors"
clientConnectedCheck="0:00:05"
comAuthenticationLevel="Connect"
comImpersonationLevel="Impersonate"
responseDeadlockInterval="00:03:00"
maxWorkerThreads="20"
maxIoThreads="20"
/>
But we tried many configuration here with no useful results:
maxWorkerThreads and maxIoThreads from 13 to 100, and
requestQueueLimit from 300 to 5000. aspnet_wp.exe goes to 100% when it
wants and goes down only after several minutes (this could be more
We monitored some info in performance counters but didn't find
anything useful.
We don't use monitors, software lock, or critical section in the code.
We store a lot of data at application level (using global.asax), and
some in session state (with cookie, inProc).
All exception we can handle are saved, and there is nothing strange.
Help us please... Thanks
