Server crash and got ton of killUnidentifiedSessions

Hi,

I built up a wowza server for deliver some VoD via DASH and HLS protocol,

but, recently my server got the a ton of log “killUnidentifiedSessions” time after time, please see log below.

Then the server just crash, and i can not link or ping to that server, I need to reboot it manually. so that it could back to normal.

I’m not sure why I have these logs, and why it affect the server. Has anyone ever meet this situation before?

Do you monitor CPU & Memory usage? It’s possible that you have “random” connections to your server which don’t actually contain any regular action (like pulling a VoD stream), so they are automatically killed by Wowza after a while. If there are many sessions like this, your server resources may get drained and finally the server may crash.

Either monitor resource usage trough WowzaEngineManager (Home page) or system tools (top/Task Manager) or an external NMS.

You could also improve security by tuning firewall settings or adding some wowza-based security system (such as SecureToken, etc).
