Many httpd processes in the Dispatcher Server

Hi guys

we are facing a problem in our dispatcher server, it is maintaining many processes, about 250. When this occurs the publishing server is inaccessible.

Is there something we can do in our dispatcher to reduce this number of processes Apache httpd?

Thank you.

Hi,

first of all you need to find out what exactly happens during that time. It's quite likely that the AEM instance is kind of busy and therefor cannot respond to the requests forwarded by the dispatcher, so the connections stay open and cannot be closed/reused. In that case you need to analyze your AEM and find exactly what happens. Allowing the dispatcher to send more requests to AEM doesn't help.

kind regards,
Jörg
