Topic: Question about RotateLogs.exe

[nawglan]

The docs have this note. I am wondering what 'many' means. We have one virtual host and are using RotateLogs.exe on both the access log and the error log for the virtual host. We are noticing that there are 4 RotateLogs.exe processes under normal circumstances. Is that too many?

Windows note:

Note that on Windows, you may run into problems when running many piped logger processes, especially when HTTPD is running as a service. This is caused by running out of desktop heap space. The desktop heap space given to each service is specified by the third argument to the SharedSection parameter in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\SubSystems\Windows registry value. Change this value with care; the normal caveats for changing the Windows registry apply, but you might also exhaust the desktop heap pool if the number is adjusted too high.
