I am experiencing a performance issue, where the application server stops processing requests.
I am running the stand alone application server with MS SQL server. In addition to data entry, there are reports and processes that users run in the application. When multiple users are running reports and other processes that are pretty intensive on the server side, the application server will stop responding to requests and cause the user to sit there staring at a blank or non responsive screen, sometimes for a few minutes. Even the login screen will not load. My browser does not timeout, it just sits there with a completely white screen. Eventually the non responsive screens will get processed and things move forward.
I have been looking for clues that may tell me what is causing this issue. During these periods, the server's CPU stays primarily around 50% and memory is on average 50%, so it doesn't look like a hardware upgrade would help us out. I was running the RAW_HTTP log because I thought maybe the server was running out of threads and the number of threads never goes above 17.
There is a gradual degradation in performance that will eventually lead to complete freezing. Are we hitting some limitation of the alpha server? Are there other performance indicators or logs that I can look at to solve this issue?
Any suggestions are appreciated.
