    Current Anonymous Users

    We recently upgraded a Web App to IIS6.0 from IIS4.0.

    When monitoring the performance, the counter which records Current Anonymous Users seems to increase without coming down again....eventu ally when it gets so high the server hangs!

    What's happening?!

          We are looking at the Web Service object which records the Current Anonymous Users and Current Connections counters.

          The Current Anonymous Users counter is a measurement of the active anonymous requests currently being processed. Once the request has been processed Current Anonymous Users should decrease. Current Connections is the number of current opened connections.

          Initially the Current Anonymous Users remained low, returning to zero quite often but as soon as there is high usage we noticed that the Current Anonymous Users counter kept increasing despite the Current Connections counter remaining fairly constant. Eventually this dramatically affected performance.

          Any ideas as to why the Current Anonymous Users counter is not decreasing? Is it simply because ASP requests are not being completed for some reason? Why would this be? Any advice appreciated.

                  Seems like an ASP application error. Make sure you are aborting processes, closing threads etc.
