Hello dear community, first, I will say thanks for your time.

Currently I have a problem with one bot, because, the behavior is very slow.

At the begining is normaly the behavior, but the problem is after around 30 minutes of started for example. The bot generates a certificate type document and do many certificates whit normaly behavior and acceptable before change the behavior to slow. 

Honestly I cannot find a root cause of this bad behavior and before the performance was great in local laptop machine.

Please, maybe somebody can help me with his comments or experience with similar situation to fix this.

 

The bot is on a Azure Server whit the following specifications:

Intel Xeon Gold 6238R CPU 2.20GHz 2.19GHz

16 GB RAM

160GB Storage Hard Disk

************************************************************

The specifications that Automation Anywhere recommend is the following:

Control Room on Microsoft Azure    
Processor: 8 core Intel Xeon Processor    
RAM: 16 GB    
Storage: 500 GB    
Network: 1 GbE

 

I will appreciate your comments.

Thanks.

When running on your local laptop, you have access to 100% of its capabilities -- RAM, CPU, storage.

When running on Azure, depending on how much money you are spending, you are only getting a small percentage of that server’s capabilities.

Monitor how much free RAM you have, especially. There is a system variable called “RAMUsage” and another called “TotalRAM”. You can divide those and create a percentage of used RAM and log that to a file.

Recommended MINIMUM for a bot runner is 8GB RAM, 50GB free disk space, and 2 CPUs. Add more functionality for better performance.

Thanks ​@Aaron.Gleason 

I will try your recomendation. I think I need divide “TotalRAM” / “RAMUsage” maybe with this exercise I can find some bad configuration in the server specifications.

 

Thanks!!
