Hi All,
I have an apache web server(v2.4) + ckan (v2.7.2) running in a docker container.
In our scenario, CKAN is being hit with large number of requests at certain intervals (like 10 requests/sec). Then after a certain period of time, the memory consumption tends to increase towards it's threshold value.After a certain interval/time, if we access the home page of ckan at https://url-address/ckan with large number of request(Using Jmeter), the memory usage of the Apache process keeps on increasing and ultimately the process crashes and does not work properly.
As a quick remedy for this, restarting the docker container reduces the memory usage.
My concern is that, are there any set of conditions/parameters in Apache Webserver that needs to be taken care of to prevent this behavior. for eg: MaxConnectionPerChild or any other Parameter? Or is there any way to limit the memory consumption of Apache web server?
Some of the values set in apache2.conf are:
1. Timeout 300
2. KeepAlive On
3. MaxKeepAliveRequests 100
4. KeepAliveTimeout 5
Also /apache2/mods-enabled/mpm_event.conf consists of the following parameters and values:
1. StartServers 2
2. MinSpareThreads 25
3. MaxSpareThreads 75
4. ThreadLimit 64
5. ThreadsPerChild 25
6. MaxRequestWorkers 150
7. MaxConnectionsPerChild 0
Thanks & Regards
Arnav Garg
