Server 2003 Memory Leak - Poolmon

[BBousman]

We have servers at different locations around the state and country that we remote desktop into. After awhile the servers start to lag and one earlier this week came to a complete halt. We have a feeling it's a memory leak but I'm not sure how to read the results of the Poolmon output to determine which one(s) are leaking. Can someone help?

Can anybody help me with this? Is it just the ones that are eating up so much memory?

Before going into Poolmon, have you been able to check memory utilization using the Task Manager. It can give you a listing of all processes that are chewing up memory.

As for using Poolmon itself, google is your friend

Yeah we can see that SQL Server is eating up most of the memory on our severs, so much so that we had to put a limit on how much it can use. The software we sell makes a lot of database calls frequently so that's why that happens.

As u have indicated SQL Server will take up as much memory as required until you place a limit on it (this is by design). You haven't indicated how much memory you have on this server. I would recommend you submit your request to the SQL server forum
