Subject:  Re: troubleshooting killed channels
as an aside.. even where there is a script name, without the script query parameters it can be impossible to duplicate the call and reproduce the error.
 
I have created a log for the main script with an entry and exit stat field. The log stores the query. I am trying to then track which entries never get their exit flag. This should tell me the exact query that is causing the problem.

I have checked the troubleshooting section. Again the problem here is that there is no known program/condition to execute. The environment handles 100,000+ requests a day so leaving all the channels open out of service mode just looking for a needle in a haystack is problematic. I need to know WHAT script is causing the hang.

fwstart sometiems shows the executing program  and sometimes doesn't. When a program name is present there is also an error in the error log. However, there are instances where there is neither a program name or an error entery, just the message restarting channel x.

Did you check fwstart.log? It should contain a list of instances, when a channel was restarted, along with the script that was executing at the time.
 
The "Hanging channels, or channels that get restarted often" section in the Troubleshooting > Common Problems page of the documentation contains additional information on how to isolate the cause of such issues.

Can anyone give me some ideas on troubleshooting killed channels when there is no information in the error log. Without an error log entry I am not able to determine what program is causing the problem. 
 
I know that one possibility is the error handler itself... but I have not been able to find any problems there. If there is an error in the error handler routine is there a way to know this? other than a hung channel?
 
Also, is there a graceful way to return an alternate page for timeouts?
 
Thanks.
