hello Apaches fellows.

I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction here with an issue I am having on Apache. I recently inherited an instance of Apache running on Windows Server 2012 R2. My technical background is mostly working with IIS and Windows, not Apache.

Our Apache server has a few times hung on an application process that runs within the Apache stack. I typically see the memory just climbing until I stopped the Apache daemon service runner that is hosting the application.

My question is as follows: Is there any way I can check what may be going on inside the process to figure out if this happens when a client is injecting something that may get stuck while trying to get to the database on another server, what type of logs, processes, events can I gather to try to figure this out? It does not happen daily, is random and sometimes I see it weeks apart.

Any tips are much appreciated.

An increase in memory seems to be the external application. What technology do you use?

Is a custom Java application that runs on top of the Apache services.
