I'd appreciate it if someone could help me. I'm working with a client that has a problem running windows services on their (Windows) servers. They find that every now and then the RAM on the server is utilised to the point that something the Infra guys call a "Preservation mode" kicks in, and kills the service. It can be restarted manually without an issue, but they'd like to find a solution to this issue.
These are .NET 4 C# services and they don't do any particularly heavy lifting. Mostly polling certain items of my client's infrastructure for various messages and conditions in order to perform some follow-on actions.
The course of action being taken so far is to convert the Services into Console Apps, and having them run on the Server. That seems like a bit overkill to me, though I've never seen this issue before.
Does anyone have any idea of what I could do?
In an ideal world, I'd love to think you could just reconfigure the server to stop it doing this to the client's custom services, but alternatively would it be worth investing in a service management component like Quartz?
Or is there another, more elegant, option available?
My client is getting a lot of grief from some of their customers over this issue, so I'd be very grateful if anyone could make suggestions.
Thanks,
Simon
