LSASS CPU load

Previous Next



LSASS CPU load

Indicates that the CPU for the Local Security Authority Service (LSASS) service on the domain controller is too busy, which can indicate a problem with directory service.

Data collector
Category: Performance Counters
Name: LSASS % processor time
Supported on: Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2022
Required permissions: When monitored locally and remotely, only domain user privilege is required and the user must be a part of the Performance Logs user group.
Description

The Directory Analyzer agent monitors the Process(lsass)\% Processor Time performance counter on the domain controller for the LSASS service. If the value of the performance counter goes above the configured threshold for a period exceeding the configured duration, the agent will set this alert condition.

LSASS virtual memory

Alerts Appendix > Domain controller alerts > LSASS virtual memory

LSASS virtual memory

Indicates that the virtual memory used for Local Security Authority Service (LSASS) on the domain controller is above the preset threshold.

The amount of memory used for LSASS varies depending on the load of the computer. As the number of running threads increases, so does the number of memory stacks. Lsass.exe usually uses 100 MB to 300 MB of memory. Lsass.exe uses the same amount of memory no matter how much RAM is installed in the computer. However, when a larger amount of RAM is installed, Lsass.exe can use more RAM and less virtual memory.

Data collector
Category: Performance Counters
Name: LSASS private bytes
Supported on: Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2022
Required permissions: When monitored locally and remotely, only domain user privilege is required and the user must be a part of the Performance Logs user group.
Description

The Directory Analyzer agent monitors the Process(lsass)\Virtual Memory performance counter on the domain controller for the lsass service. If the value in the performance counter goes above the configured threshold for a period exceeding the configured duration, the agent will set this alert condition.

This problem may occur when event tracing for Security Accounts Manager (SAM) events is enabled. When event tracing for SAM events is enabled, the remote procedure call (RPC) binding is not released. Therefore, a memory leak occurs in the Lsass.exe process.

LSASS working set

Previous Next


Supported on: Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2022
Required permissions: When monitored locally and remotely, only domain user privilege is required and the user must be part of the Performance Logs user group.
Description

The Directory Analyzer agent monitors the Process(lsass)\Working Set performance counter (corresponding to Mem Usage from Task Manager) on the domain controller for LSASS. If the value in the performance counter goes above the configured threshold for a period exceeding the configured duration, the agent will set this alert condition.

It is also possible that the number of bytes allocated to the working set has increased to some pathological condition in a particular application.

Missing SRV DNS record for either the primary or secondary DNS server

Alerts Appendix > Domain controller alerts > Missing SRV DNS record for either the primary or secondary DNS server

Missing SRV DNS record for either the primary or secondary DNS server

Indicates one or more requisite Domain Name System (DNS) Service (SRV) entries are not defined. DNS SRV entries are vital to the proper functioning of Active Directory®.

Data collector
Category: General
Name: Missing domain controller SRV DNS record
Supported on: Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2022
Required permissions: When monitored locally and remotely, only domain user privilege is required. When monitored remotely, the target server must have WMI remote access enabled and the user must be a member of the Distributed COM Users group.
Description

Active Directory Health Analyzer queries the DNS service for the SRV entries required for each zone hosted on the server. Note that this applies exclusively to zones designated as primary. If any of the SRV entries are not present, this alert is raised. Active Directory Health Analyzer does not evaluate SRV entries for accuracy, but only checks if the entries are present.

Active Directory Health Analyzer confirms the existence of the following SRV entries for each zone hosted on the server:

_ldap._tcp.<zone-name>

This alert is accompanied by a list of the missing SRV entries.

Whenever a domain controller is promoted, the Microsoft NetLogon process registers the applicable SRV entries with the primary DNS server of the affected domain. As SRV entries are used to identify the constituent domain controllers, the Primary Domain Controller(PDC), and the owner of the global catalog of each zone, the absence of an SRV entry can have serious consequences for Active Directory.

The presence of all requisite SRV locator entries is evaluated for top-level zones exclusively. However, SRV locator entries of sub-zones that host at least one domain controller (with a Directory Analyzer agent) are evaluated.

Cause

Typically, missing SRV entries indicate that Dynamic DNS has been disabled for one or more DNS zones. Active Directory relies on Dynamic DNS to update all affected entries when network resources are altered or relocated. Other possible causes include DCPROMO failure, and erroneous manual configuration of SRV entries.

Resolution

Confirm that Dynamic DNS is enabled on all applicable zones. Either add the SRV entries manually in the DNS Management Console or cause the entries to be refreshed (for example, by demoting and subsequently promoting the effected domain controllers).
