From time to time I've the same problem (every 7 to 10 days)
- HP ProLiant DL360 G3
- - 2* Intel Xeon 3.066Ghz
- - 2 GB RAM
- Windows Server 2003 SE SP1
- HostMonitor is started as service
- TrendMicro ServerProtect 5.58
- No Personal firewall
- No Content monitoring software
- No Non-standard winsock components
- No Network packet analyzer
- No ODBC tests or Logging
- No SQL tests or logging

When HM is stopped (has died) I see:
Total Handels: 35265
Threads: 912
Processes: 56
Avail Memory: 1434288

Top Users:
Runner.exe uses 21438 Handels (and raising)
svchost.exe uses 32834K memory
serversalive.exe uses 9:08:21 hours CPU time
serversalive.exe uses 121 USER Objects
explorer.exe uses 196 GDI Objects

In Eventlog:
Code:
Error - Service Control Manager - Event 7034
The KS Advanced Host Monitor service terminated unexpectedly.
It has done this 2 time(s).

No more reports to process - so report generation finished from my pov

I can restart HM Service - and it works for another 7 days without rebooting or restarting any other Software.
All tests are run several times a day (so there is no test running only once a week that may cause the crash)

Ups. Too many handles, I think. Windows 2003 can handle about 15-17 thousand handles. But system behavior is unpredictable when this limit is reached. Could you disable application, that starts process named "Runner.exe"? Have you tried to disable TrendMicro Antivirus?

It's a kind of scheduler that starts my perl Scripts for MRTG.
Runner.exe is started at System-Startup and continuously running
I'll try to change that to Windows Scheduler

Not yet. The Server guys may not allow that - for good reason.

I'll start with replacing runner.exe

Just for information:
Runner.exe was replaced.
Still the problem that HM Service terminates from time to time.

Have you disabled TrandMicro? What about resource usage?

Normally it takes more than a week until it stops.
I'm monitoring the handles HM uses now. (see other thread)

What exactly can I tell you and where can I find that ?

According to other customers - TrendMicro is the reason of the problem.

Quote:

GDI and User objects, Handles, memory usage. Total usage and what process uses the most of resources.
Just like you did last time. I assume you have used standard Windows Task Manager to obtain this information

That is possible, but we are running about 170 Servers - with TrendMicro

When HM is running I see:

hostmon.exe uses 14100K Mem Usage

-
hostmon.exe uses 280 USER Objects
serversalive.exe uses 120 USER Objects
-
hostmon.exe uses 332 GDI Objects
explorer.exe uses 156 GDI Objects

By the way: What about a little tool to get that information

Resource usage looks Ok (for Windows 2003). Could you check this again when problem appears?

We have such task in "to do" list
