Pinging hosts causes fog to freeze

[A Former User]

When in the WebUI fog feels the need to ping every host registered within fog, this is no good because you cannot proceed to another page until it finishes pinging and when you have 10,000+ hosts registered in your fog server this takes a really long time to complete…thus making it impossible to deploy an image to a host until it finishes…is there a way to get rid of this or maybe make it optional to ping all hosts in a future update

If you look through the source (using grep recursively to look through the file contents) for the word “ping”, I bet you’ll find lots of matches.

Probably best to search the web directory only.

There’s likely a loop in the PHP code that handles this. You’d probably be able to just comment the ping part out, or the whole loop, depending on how it’s written.

Have you tried unticking FOG_HOST_LOOKUP under Fog Configuration->Fog Settings-> General settings

This is a well known problem, and I’ve tried everything I can think of to make it an asynchronous method caller. The jQuery isn’t what’s holding it up directly, rather the php methods are naturally blocking which is what’s causing the issue. I don’t know what I can do to make it better, but I’ve tried. Maybe somebody else knows of a better method.

Thanks! I appreciate your efforts, for now I have just remedied the issue with jbsclm`s solution. Yes hopefully some day somebody will have a better method
