Computer; 2g ram, Windows XP SP2

I see in the process tree a lot of g2mg_crawles running and goto manage crawler. All together they are using 361 meg of ram. Is this common?

Thanks,
Rick

Having a few g2mg_crawler.exe processes; yes that appears normal.

But as for memory, across 3x servers I just checked the largest is 83MB, and there’s only one ‘high’ process per server … most of the threads are > 10MB each.

I would say you have a problem there. Are you scanning a large range and/or monitoring a lot of systems?

It’s a smaller network about 15 devices but only the server has the crawler running. I goofed up, it’s not running on XP, I should have said Server 2003R2.

I wanted to add an image of the process list but I’m having a problem uplaoding to this forum. When I click Add Image it pops me to the top of the web page with no way to upload the image.

I run crawlers on Server 2008/R2, Server2003, Win7Pro and WinXP Pro. Again, all much lower than yours.

Are you scanning too much perchance? Did you modify the default crawler scans? In one case I was ‘playing’ and did a FULL WMI_Plugin on a server once an hour. It led to high processor utilization once an hour and larger than normal memory footprint. It was a while ago so I can’t remember the numbers - nor am I really willing to replicate it again :D
