Hi,  
I’m running 8.1.14 on Windows Server 2019 and the memory usage keeps increasing over a period of days, to the point where things get a bit laggy and I see the red error borders on components bound to OPC tags blink on occasionally.  
I’m running a Perspective application with a fair amount of scripting, named queries, transaction groups and a few thousand OPC tags. The MS SQL databases are hosted on a separate server. The CPU usage is low. If I reboot, it runs fine for a few days, but the memory usage increases.

How would I go about troubleshooting this?

Thanks,

Alistair

Just a follow up to this. Anticipating IA support would recommend updating to the latest version (8.1.15), I did that and the problem went away. So thanks, IA, you’ve already solved my problem 👍
