This was related to Taxonomy and Folder changes as well as the creating/assignment of new meta data types and indexed smart form fields. This is because the Ektron service attempts to update the index schema on the fly.<br /><br />We managed to get a hot fixed esync service with this functionality disabled which stabilised the indexing quite a bit. You'll need to contact Ektron support for a version though. We now need to run search config UI each time there's a schema change to make the indexable fields queriable but this can be managed through at a convenient time.<br /><br />We still have some issues (about ~10% of the original issues) which are caused by "large" content updates of several assets with taxonomies assigned to them. We've learned to live with it - with the help of four load balanced presentation servers (with heart beat pages), and a monitoring service that restarts the catalog when it gets stuck for two minutes! <br /><br />It's a bit brute force, but with 8.5 on the horizon, Ektron aren't doing to much to fix these issues.MartinJarvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01826075571790729681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125820631218721012.post-22036230722321657502011-09-22T23:39:42.886+01:002011-09-22T23:39:42.886+01:00Martin, we are experiencing something very similar...Martin, we are experiencing something very similar. Spikes in Indexing after an eSync taking 100% CPU and causing the site to become unavailable. We also upgraded from 7 to 8 some time ago. I'm with our webteam and do not have direct access to our prod web server but did get my IS guy to get me the two XML files. The 32bit file looks OK (as far as I can tell) but the 64bit one is default without any of our indexed smart forms listed. <br />Is this normal or is it a problem? My understanding is that we always install the 64bit version of Ektron (if there is such a distinction) and this is Server 2008 64bit<br />Do you have any thoughts? Should the two files be the same or is it OK the 64bit one is default?<br /><br />Thanks for your help!<br /><br />BTW, there is a grammatical error in the text above this box, it says "take a while to for them", but should probably say something like "take a while for them"Dave Sargenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00161012555379939058noreply@blogger.com
