Traccar 4.6 on Windows

Vineet Bhargava5 years ago

Hi Experts,

Need your help. I have traccar version 4.6 on a windows box and I am facing few issue for which need your support on it.

  1. Every now and then when my customers run reports, the memory utilization on my SQL database servers goes through the roof and it takes a lot of time for the reports to run.

  2. Every few days, the number of TCP connections increases on the traccar server. Just for 5000 devices, the number of connections sometimes goes upto 25000.

To resolve these issues I am thinking of having a separate reporting database for running all customer reports so that my daily operations are not impacted.

Secondly, I want to increase the java heap size on the traccar server but I can't seem to find a place where I can change it for traccar application. I researched on the online forums and found that this can be done using wrapper.conf file. But I am not able to locate this file on the traccar server.

Can you please help me.

Also can you please let me know if I can use virtual load balancers with traccar application. I am planning to have a VIP in front of my traccar server for 3 main reasons:

  • Load Balancing
  • High Availability
  • Higher up time in case of maintenance and patching activities

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Vineet

Traccar doesn't support horizontal scaling. Search forum for more info.

For number of connections set timeout for all device ports.

As for Java heap size limit, you need to modify Windows service configuration. Check SC.exe tool from Microsoft.
