Jamie, I think the most likely of the solutions, are those presented by Ron regarding thread counts. Recently there have been some good discussions on the list regarding server statistics and how to determine if you need more threads, I would recommend checking them out
-----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Jamie Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2012 11:20 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Remedy System comes to a standstill/unresonsive We've been experiencing intermittent issues where all of a sudden our Remedy system comes to a standstill and is unresponsive to the end user for 10-15mins. The end users are experiencing this in both the client and the web. The strange thing is that there are no errors outputted to the arerror.log file and the end users are not receiving any errors such as timeouts. We have automated montioring setup to ping the IP Address every 5 secs and have not received any alerts. We have montiored the databse and haven't found really any long running queries during the time of the issues that we think is contributing to the issues. We've now turned on the normal app logging of API/SQL/Filter/Esc and opened up a ticket with BMC Support, but looking for some "Out of the Box thinking" from the group on where to maybe look or if anyone has had similar issues.
