The primary purpose of thread monitors is to control resource use (for example, memory) by limiting the number of threads that can concurrently execute a particular task. Thread monitors also enable EAServer to detect whether a specific thread has been executing too long within a unit of work, which may indicate a thread that has stopped responding. A thread in this state can cause the system to become unresponsive. Thread monitors can check the managed threads in the system, such as Web container threads, but cannot monitor unmanaged threads, such as those created by applications. If EAServer detects a problem, an error is written to the server log file.
