High Page/Sec and locking up server and application

Hi sdejong123‌,

Do you know what the processes in question are? If so, you can use the Real-time process explorer to setup a new application template to track the individual services/processes and keep an eye on their usages. If your account in SolarWinds has the rights, of course.

It looks like you may have a memory leak or a runaway process running on that server. It may be normal, like backups or antivirus, but paging occurs when there is insufficient physical memory in the server to satisfy demand. These pages are then written to virtual memory on disk as temporary storage. The more paging that occurs the more frequently items are swapped between virtual memory (slow) and physical memory (fast). I would recommend using the TopXX Process by Physical Memory and Top XX Processes by Virtual Memory alerts to give you insight into what process(s) are contributing the paging.

Thank you very much for responding to my question, we actually found out from the software developer there is a memory leak in Windows 2008 R2. We are in the process of upgrading the server to Windows 2012 R2

Thank you,

-Scott
