Servoy slows to a crawl

Hello Folks!
This is a vague request because I do not know where to begin to look. Servoy runs great for about a week. Then it slows to a crawl until I restart it. I have switched internet providers from standard cable to a 10meg up / down fiber pipe. have updated all firmware on my Dell PowerEdge 2950 server. Have lots of ram and my HD is only 20% used. I have nothing hardware left to swap or tweak. Am running Centos 5.2 (32 bit).
I have seen some posts on editing the servoy.properties and on the admin page… but before I start swapping numbers around… I really need some help in narrowing down the problem.
The end result is this: After about a week to 10 days of use (30 users avg), the connection will just hang, not allowing for the solution to open, or, once open, will take up to 10+ minutes for a page to change.

So, does anyone have a “check list” to diagnosis the problem?

Thanks in advance

I forgot to mention, that my memory usage is minimal, CPU Usage is not excessive. It jsut begins to crawl. Once I restart servoy server, my woes disappear for a week or so. This problem has been recurring for a while. It is not a one-time-event.

Hi Steve,

The first thing would be to look in the logs. You see anything in there ?
Also can you tell us what version of Servoy, Java and what back-end database do you use ?

I know (in earlier versions of Servoy) that display animated images on form(s) could give memory issues. Maybe that’s your case?

Check the admin pages, look for the memory usage, probably you don’t have assigned enough memory to servoy. Which servoy version are you using? There was a memory leak in 3.5 for headless client.

I was reading about the log files, and saw that the servoy.log grows to over 40 meg before it cycles. I changed the setting in servoy.properties to 512kb, but it continues to grow. The solution I have found is manually renaming the servoy.log and servoy_log.txt to [example] 19jan_servoy.log.txt, then it runs great. Why do I need to do this manually? Why does the setting in servoy.properties not work?
