Are you saying you’re getting status of Web server and/or Gateway stopped like this?

If so, I’d check the logs. I’ve seen this happen on a unit where SQL server would hog too much memory, choking the gateway. You’d have to confirm your memory usage to see if it’s an issue.

Thanks! How to determine if SQL SERVER is consuming memory？How to set up is reasonable？
