Urgent: Unusual Idle Sessions/Threads Behavior in HPSM V9.32

Hi, we are currently experiencing an unusual behavior in HPSM V9.32 and would appreciate your support in resolving the following issues:

  1. Idle Sessions/Threads Accumulation:

    • A user with Max Logins: 30 and SOAP API capabilities is being utilized to create more than 15,000 incidents daily.
    • Notably, multiple idle sessions/threads are becoming stuck, continuously increasing until reaching the allotted 30 sessions (highlighted in the attached screenshot in yellow).
    • We have configured the following settings to address this concern, yet the issue persists but didn't help and we solve the issue by sm restart:
      • sessiontimeout:10
      • webservices_sessiontimeout:50
      • Start Inactivity Timer: 5 mins
  1. Continuous Opening of "MailSender":

    • Despite removing the corresponding Background Processor Initialization Registry from System Administration > Base System Configuration > Miscellaneous > Agent Registry > "Background Processor Initialization Registry," the "MailSender" continues to remain continuously open (highlighted in the attached screenshot in orange).

For your reference, please find attached the sm.ini and sm.cfg files.
