# AutoKillComponents

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

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

If the component is unresponsive:

- When `AutoKillComponents` is set to `False` (the default value), Proxy logs an error message, but does not attempt to stop the component.
- When `AutoKillComponents` is set to `True`, 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 Proxy component. See StandaloneProxy.
