Log IIS Application Pool Startup / Shutdown And Recycle?

Dec 9, 2010

My application is running in a shared hosting environment. I do have a dedicated App Pool for my app. I've been doing some testing with 1st visits and precompile performance and have been tracking when my application starts up and shuts down.

In my Global.asax I have some logging code in Application_Start and Application_End. I can see from my logs generally when the application is idle and shuts down, then someone visits and it starts back up.

But, I also see cases where a shutdown is logged and then followed by another shutdown about 13 minutes later; without a startup in the middle.

I also see instances where there are two Startups in a row. I'm guessing these might be a recycle, but why wouldn't there be a shutdown log entry?

What I'd really like to know if there is a better way to track when my application starts, when it shuts down and if it is shutdown due to an idle pool, or from a recycle. I don't have access to the Windows Event Log so I need to do this from my app if possible.

Iis7 - Should Set .NET Application Pool To Auto-recycle

Mar 3, 2011

I have a number of ASP.NET (4.0) web applications that appear to leak (a small amount) of memory during each request. It is such a small amount, that for most use-cases, it will not grow to become a problem for weeks or even months at a time. I generally try to be good with closing any connections managed by the application, avoiding state-variables (or instance variables for my singleton), etc. My question is this - is this normal behavior for ASP.NET applications? I had turned off the default (IIS 7) behavior of recycling the app pool after 20 minutes of being idle. I do this since the application takes a few minutes to build its internal cache, and I want to avoid negatively impacting the user experience (and having them wait for the application to start when they issue the request).

.net - Memory Increase On Application Pool Recycle?

Dec 14, 2010

I'd like to describe strange issue I've noticed while analyzing my asp.net application in production and ask for some advice or opinion on the following matter.Application usually runs with some 80-90 MB of memory footprint. This seems stable since no memory leaks have been detected so far - no slight increase in memory usage over time. Yet, problem occurs when application pool recycles (I'm using shared hosting and judging by logs it occurs either when app is idle for 20 mins or every ~30 hours - something like that). The issue is that used memory almost doubles for some period on recycle - it goes to some 160-170 MBs without any explanation. This is confusing, since it is common claim that recycling should purge the memory and all other resources - at least I get it that way. System holds this amount of memory for some 7-8 hours and then memory usage drops to it's usual level of 90-100 MB, again, with no apparent reason (at least not know to me).

Memory Limits And Application Pool Recycle?

Jun 22, 2010

my web applications app pool configuration is
PeriodicRestartMemory : 512000
PeriodicRestartPrivateMemory : 196608

although the virtual memory limit is higher than private memory, app pool is recycled with virtual memory limits exceeded errors in the event log (instead of private memory).

what is the reason for this? how could it exceed virtual memory limits before exceeding private memory limits? it seems that systems other allocations in virtual memory cause limits exceeded before applications private allocations exceed the limits, but what are those allocations of the system? or what is the root cause of this.

State Management :: Session State Expiration After Application Pool Recycle?

Nov 1, 2010

All we have a global ships position tracking website which runs smoothly until IIS application pool recycles.When there is workerprocess recycling looks like session state expires as a result i loose all session data and when customer clicks refresh button he is redirected to login page.

In web.config Session state mode is set to InProc so i changed it to State Server but to my luck i have MAP object which is not serialiazable which is causing the maps from not appearing on the website.I tried adding serializable attribute to the object class but still not succesfull.Our website is accessed by our customers whose count is more than 1000.

Changing the session state mode from InProc to StateServer can really slow down the response time so
Is it good to go further fix the serailizable issues and move to state server?.

Is there any way I can retain my session data when application pool recyles?..

Stopping Application pool from recycling may not be a good idea considering health factor of web server.

Handle Application Shutdown In Quartz.Net?

Sep 26, 2010

I have used Quartz.Net for queuing and sending emails from my application. I don't know how each scheduled job responds to application instance stopping, pausing or shutting down. The IJob interface has no method that can notify a running job about these events.My question is how can I handle these cases when they occur so that the job can exit while leaving the application and the data in a stable state?

Session - Why Does Application Recycle When Delete A Folder

Sep 27, 2010

I have a Silverlight application using a WCF service hosted in IIS. I make use of some aspects of ASP.NET. I have the following folder structure for my application:

inetput
wwwroot
myapp
reports
{user-guid-folders}
report1.pdf
report2.pdf
App_Data (folder)
bin (folder)
Client_Bin (folder)
(various .aspx files, plus web.config, etc.)

The application dynamically generates reports and puts them in a folder with a GUID for the name which is unique to the user. This all works fine. However, when the user logs out I was cleaning up and deleting the PDF files in their folder, then deleting their GUID folder.

Deleting the files works fine, but if I delete the folder, the application recycles (which then removes all other users' sessions - I get a Session_OnEnd event for every user's session, and an Application_OnEnd event. The next user request causes the whole application to restart. So, while I can fix this by not deleting the GUID folder (which my application itself created), what is the reason for this? Is there any way I can prevent this from happening?

Web Forms :: Slow Web Application Startup

Mar 24, 2011

I know that when a .NET web application first starts, it will be slow on first access. For that reason, I created a 'keep alive' page in the application that is requested every 8 minutes or so by a scheduled process. I hoped that that would be sufficient to prevent the application from 'unloading' and thus suffer from this initial long startup time again and again.

I can see in my logs that the 'keep alive' page is indeed triggered every 8 minutes, 24 hours a day. But when I actively start working in the application after some time, eg. the following day, I still have to wait a while for it to start up. Once the first page is loaded, all is fine again.

Web Application Startup Time - How To Optimize

Jul 7, 2010

we have this problem but can't find a solution. We have an application that references something like 24 dlls. When you invoke the application the very first time (after the application is for any reason reset) it takes 25-40 seconds to start loading contents.

This is what we tried:

1. precompile and publish everything in release mode
2. removing pdbs from bin folder
3. put strong named assemblies into GAC
4. set application to debug = false

consider that the whole bin folder is composed by 24 dlls for a total size of 28MB. Just 4 of these dlls are strong named and they are more and less 25MB. Nothing seems changed. What happens EXACTLY when the application is started is something I couldn't find in any book nor forum/blog/post... What can we monitor more to find where the problem is?

Recycle Application Mod_Mono 2.8 / Getting A 404 Not Found Error Page?

Dec 14, 2010

I have a CentOS 5.x server running Mono 2.8.1 and mod_mono 2.8 with apache2.

Every time I deploy a site from visual studio 2010 to my server by ftp, and navigate to the site, I get a 404 not found error page.

Sites in other subdomains (virtual hosts) are not affected.

Performing a restart of httpd using /etc/init.d/httpd restart fixes the problem, and I can view my ASP site again. Obviously restarting the entire httpd process is less than adequate.

My guess is that this is similar to application domains in IIS. Is there a way to 'recycle' and app domain in mod_mono? Can I set this to happen on deployment?

Drawback To Creating A Separate IIS Application Pool For Each Website / Application?

Jan 5, 2010

Currently, on our production IIS web farm, we host about 15 applications in a single App Pool (Default App Pool). There are two websites and about 13 virtual directories.A colleague has recommended that we change our IIS configuration so each application is a separate App Pool (with identical settings).

Is there any drawback or potential issues to doing this?Is it possible that ASP.NET applications could have been built with the requirements that they are all within the same App Pool?

Avoiding Application Pool Warmup In IIS?

Jan 31, 2011

I'm having issues with an ASP.net site (framework 3.5, IIS6 ) having very slow 'first hit' response times. I'm guessing that the issue is to do with the app pool recycling and having to warm up.

I got to thinking. As part of the site I have a HTTP module that spins up a 'never ending loop' on a separate thread which periodically (every 5 seconds) calls an sproc on SQL to make sure the database is still there. I'm wondering if a similar approach might work to get the site to make an HTTP request to "itself" as a keep alive.

My question is, before I go and do this, can anyone think of any reason why it won't work? For example, something like "oh no... ASP.Net will figure out that you're playing with yourself and not go through the whole page lifecycle... etc etc".

Extend Web.config Application Pool Recycling?

Apr 15, 2010

I have noticed how editing the web.config file in an application folder causes that application pool to recycle and pick up the changes.

How does IIS achieve this and is it possible to extend this functionality for another config file? Or is this dependency hard-coded somewhere? This is related to the possiblity of deploying configuration changes to a web server without having to edit the web.config, which is usually maintained by a different team.

Note that I don't want to manually invoke this recycle event, but have it work in the same way as with web.config. I'm aware that I could simply add these settings to web.config, but that's not what I've been asked to do.

Configuration :: Cannot Get Web Service To Execute In A 64 Bit Application Pool

Aug 17, 2010

I am working on Windows 2008 Server (64-bit). I want to execute my web service as a pure (native) 64 bit service. All the assemblies referred by the web service are currently built as 'AnyCPU'.

When I publish the web service to IIS, and configure it to run under a 64-bit application pool (by setting 'Enable 32-Bit applications' = false), attempt to access the web service gives the error 'Application is not a valid Win32 application' because of a BadImageFormatException. This appears to indicate that somewhere an attempt is being made to load a 32 bit assembly. But the error does not provide any information about which assembly was found with an incorrect format. I have checked all the assemblies in the bin folder using corflags and they are bit agnostic.

I tried using the fusion log and identified a bind failure with VJSharpCodeProvider (though my service is coded only in C#). The runtime is not able to find the VJSharpCodeProvider because it is present in the GAC as an x86 assembly.

Is VJSharpCodeProvider the cause of the problem? I guess this is not the case because of the type of exception (BadImageFormatException). If I am correct, then how do I identify the assembly that is causing this exception?

If I change the property 'Enable 32-Bit applications' to true for the application pool, the service works fine, but I need native 64-bit execution.

Sql - Connection Pool Confined To At The Application Level?

Apr 28, 2010

Does the same connection string used on two different physical servers hosting different web applications that talk to the same database draw connections from the same connection pool? Or are pooled connections confined to at the application level?

I ask because I inherited a 7 year old .NET 1.1 web application which is riddled with in-line SQL, unclosed and undisposed sql connection and datareader objects. Recently, I was tasked to write a small web app that is hosted on another server and talks to the same database and therefore used the same database connection string. I created a LINQ object to read and write the one table required by the app. Now the original .NET 1.1 app is throwing exceptions like

"Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool. This may have occurred because all pooled connections were in use and max pool size was reached."

Maybe these are unreleated, but wanted to get your opinions to make sure I cover all my bases.
