  • 1.  Vmware Horizon View Web Component high memory usage

    Posted Jan 05, 2024 02:12 PM

    Hello,
    One of our vSphere servers is running a windows server 2012 vm whose memory is almost full.
    Upon closer inspection, it appears that "Vmware Horizon View Web Component" is using almost two-thirds of the memory.
    My question is if I can just restart this service without any consequences.
    Would love to hear if this is possible.

    You can restart the service - the impact will be if any user happens to be logged into a session through that server will likely get a session interrupt/disconnect. Do you know if that service has historically run high on that VM? 

    Another option would be to schedule a maintenance reboot on the VM if that is possible - you could also look at if there are resources available to add virtual memory to the VM that would take effect upon a restart.
