many AlteryxEngineCmd on the task manager

Question

We have setup to run only 8 workflows at a time, not sure why about 20 or so AlteryxEngineCmd  is on the task.

Is it the workflows are not getting completed or is it like a leak on the process

Sounds like it's time to send in a ticket to support so they can dig in deeper.

Thanks for the response.

We have it scheduled to restart once a week.

We still needed to restart in between sometimes because of these hung processes.

I restarted yesterday and already there about 15 at least process

If any of the workflows are chained, it's possible that some are expected but it does sound like a hung process.

How often are you rebooting the machine?
In my experience it's good to have a scheduled weekly reboot on Windows servers.
