Name:
    Event_Pool_Size

Syntax
    Event_Pool_Size=Number

Applies to:
    Servers

Add-on:

    First Release:
      6.0

    Obsolete since:

      Category:
        Memory

      Default:
        5 Mb

      UI equivalent:
        None

      Description:
      Increases the buffer for events being written to the console and log. If many events come in fast you might need to increase this from 3mb to 5mb

      Valid value in are numbers in Byte

      This variable is new to ND6

      The default for Event_Pool_Size in R5 and R6 is 5,242,880 (5 MB), and that will be the maximum size to which the memory pool can grow for unprocessed events, unprocessed notifications, and event suppression memory. When trying to determine if this is an event overload or a memory leak, check the Event_Pool_Size= parameter. Ensuring this is set to the maximum of 5 MB will help if there is a temporary overload, from which the Event Monitor can recover. If the number of events, the number of notifications, the server workload, or the server performance, is such that the Event Monitor cannot recover, this will only prolong the inevitable. If there is actually a memory leak in the pool, this will only prolong the inevitable. If it does help, this has borrowed time to implement the steps above.

      Changes in this parameter require quitting and restarting the server, or use of the "restart server" command. More specifically, it requires release of the Domino shared memory in which the pool is stored. This means that any Notes client, Domino program, or Notes API program from another vendor, which is running from the same Domino data directory, must also be stopped. If there are several such programs from other vendors running (as with Windows NT services), it may be simpler to shut down and restart the system.

      The maximum value which can be set is Event_Pool_Size=5,242,880 (5 MB).

      If you use the parameter Event_Pool_Size=5,242,880 on the iSeries, this will prevent HTTP from starting. You cannot use commas in the size. This parameter would have to be set as Event_Pool_Size=5242880 on the iSeries platform.

      Note: The event task pool has a maximum value of 5MB in both R5 and Notes/Domino 6 and the default is 5MB.
