Hi all, I have a couple of Win2000 servers running IIS and an asp.NET web application, and have seen sporadic errors in the event logs:
aspnet_wp.exe (PID:PIDNumber) was recycled because memory consumption exceeded the SizeLimit MB (Percentage percent of available RAM)
The app I'm running doesn't deal with anything even approaching large amounts of data (there's a datagrid which displays a max 13x6 grid, all fields less than 50 characters), and does not upload files. The errors seem to come at random times, whether or not there is activity in the app (I know this because I log all user operations to a SQL Server database). I have been running performance logs on the machine, and noticed a huge spike for 'ASP.NET APPS v 1.1.4xxx' Requests/sec right before the crashes.
I'm wondering if anyone has seen this before, and if the cause could be some type of DOS or similar attack on the server... and if so, what can I do to stop it? Any experiences/advice is appreciated,
-Ringo

Check your web server logs. If you're under attack, it should show up there.

well you have a couple of issues here the first being that this is iis5 so
all process as spawned inside aspnet worker process so memory adds up on a
per process basis. The other thing is that if you are returning large
datasets and not cleaning them out, they will build up in the worker process
eventually causing it to recycle. You need to monitor your memory
consumption a bit more closely.
I wouldn't rule out an attack either but it just seems a lot less likely
from where i sit.

Listen to yourself: "My program is slow and there are other problems:
someone must be hacking into my system."
The very existence of this software antipattern indicates that you
will never ever be a decent programmer and that you _may_ be
delusional. A real programmer would search his own code for errors for
_hours_ before looking elesewhere; after that a good programmer would
look at the _system_ for problems; only when he saw hard evidence
would an _excellent_ programmer conclude that third parties were
changing his system.
Find another job - perhaps salesman or preacher. You will never be
more than an embarrassment as a programmer.
