We see that within an hour, the system enters in to swap, whereas CPU is 92% free. The load on the machine we are not able to calculate, but 'netstat' on port 8080 gives 3000 - 5000 connections on peak load. The machine used is a 4 GB RAM, 2 GB Swap, dual CPU with HT enabled. Can anyone suggest what will the ideal configuration for our setup? Or where we can start looking in to? The configurations of worker.c we used were: ServerLimit 20 StartServers 15 ThreadsPerChild 60 MaxClients 1200 MinSpareThreads 25 MaxSpareThreads 1200 MaxRequestsPerChild 1000 Now we have changed it to the following and observing the behavior: ServerLimit 8 StartServers 3 ThreadsPerChild 50 MaxClients 400 MinSpareThreads 25 MaxSpareThreads 100 MaxRequestsPerChild 500 Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
