Anyone else noticed their web farm controller server memory creeping up if left alone?
I have two web farms, both the same set up i.e. one control server, 32 servers in farms of 4. inetmgr.exe sits about about 11mb when started. If I leave the farms alone after about 2 weeks the memory used by the process has crept up to around 2.5gb. The
server has 4gb. The only way i can find to reduced the size is to stop the process and restart.
Any one seen this or know of a solution?
IIS 7.5 running in Windows 2008 r2. wff 2.2.
Web Farm FrameworkWeb Farm Framework 2.1windows server 2008 r2WFF 2.2memory leak
I have the same issue. Some performance testing during one night and 8 GBs went out. Caching disabled on all farms. Only restart the Web Farm Controller Service is helping for a short time.
Yes, I noticed this. It appears to be caused by people leaving their IIS GUI open, when not in use. Over time it accumulates memory leak until it finally crashes the server.
I am experiencing the same problem, no GUI opened. Memory used by WFF just gets more and more until server freezes. This freezing of the controller sometimes leads even to a teardown/offline-taking of the farm... Ugly... IF the crashed controller starts
up again, web farm service provisions the servers and opens them on the LB (self written LB plugin similar to the F5 one)
Leaving the MMC console on definately makes the problem worse; haven't looked at the ARR server for a while, but now it runs using about 3,07Gb! My initial memory usage (on fresh start) is about 26Mb
Not sure how to proceed, anyone tried any hotfixes ? I will test upcoming couple of days if disabling Disk Cache in ARR will help.
For testing purposes, i will leave the MMC open..!
WFF with 3 nodes.
Platform provisioning every 10 hours.
Application Provisioning every 1 hours (and sometimes manual by deployscript)
60sec (disk) cache
Running webfarm service .exe version 7.1.1341.0 (not sure, i think im running WFF 2.2)
I have a couple of WFF servers and there is no problem with them. I have two ARR servers (one of them is with WFF installed) where the problem with memory leak appears. Nobody logged to server, only normal production work, application and platform provisioning
disabled, caching disabled.
Today I had machine crash because WebFarmService.exe would like to use more than 16 GB of memory (server with 4 GB RAM). Only regular web farm service restart is helping to have it in good conditions...

No one? Not even Microsoft? This is a pretty big flaw in WFF to go unnoticed.

Solution. Always close the GUI when done.

Hi there
I am experiencing the same problem, no GUI opened. Memory used by WFF just gets more and more until server freezes. This freezing of the controller sometimes leads even to a teardown/offline-taking of the farm... Ugly... IF the crashed controller starts up again, web farm service provisions the servers and opens them on the LB (self written LB plugin similar to the F5 one)
No solution out there yet?

Has anyone raised a support case with Microsoft?

Is it problem with WFF or ARR?
I have a couple of WFF servers and there is no problem with them. I have two ARR servers (one of them is with WFF installed) where the problem with memory leak appears. Nobody logged to server, only normal production work, application and platform provisioning disabled, caching disabled.
Today I had machine crash because WebFarmService.exe would like to use more than 16 GB of memory (server with 4 GB RAM). Only regular web farm service restart is helping to have it in good conditions...

Did you manage to solve this memory leak issue?
