Or, are you analyzing your web server logs (or some tracking in your CF app) to monitor the traffic into your site? You could be experiencing a sudden change in bot visits, such as from search engine indexers. Many don't make the connection but since such tools don't preserve cookies sent by the server, any creation of client or session variables will cause extreme load.
And if you'd say, "we don't use sessions or client variables", let me challenge you to double check: do you have clientmanagement="no" set on cfapplication? If not, then every page request STILL creates client variables. There are fixed (predefined) ones, like hitcount, lastvisit, and such, which are populated on each page request. Depending on where you're storing those client variables (whether in the registry or a database), that could be the cause of your problems. Note that if you don't set ClientStorage in your cfapplication, then it's controlled by admin console settings. Hope that helps. /charlie http://www.carehart.org/blog/ -----Original Message----- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Pietersen Sent: Monday, September 18, 2006 7:37 AM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Re: CF MX7 server slows down and stops serving pages Also... is the database on that same machine? Or any other applications? Could someone have made a change to something without you knowing about it? If you do a search for all files on that machine which were modified around the time the problem started, it might help you narrow it down.
