# AutoKillComponents

Set `AutoKillComponents` to `True` if you want the IDOL Proxy component to attempt to stop an unresponsive subcomponent before it restarts it.

When a component does not respond for the configured BusyTimeout, IDOL Proxy polls the component service port to determine whether it is unresponsive or under load. If the component is under load, IDOL Proxy logs a message.

If the component is unresponsive:

- When `AutoKillComponents` is set to `False` (the default value), IDOL Proxy logs an error message, but does not attempt to stop the component.
- When `AutoKillComponents` is set to `True`, IDOL Proxy waits for the configured KillTimeout. After this time, if the component is still unresponsive, it attempts to stop the unresponsive process and then restarts it.

NOTE: This parameter does not have an effect if you set AutoRestartComponents to `False`.

This parameter does not have an effect if you are using a stand-alone IDOL Proxy component. See StandaloneProxy.
