new symptom when I create an all snapins task the task is created but no snapins are queued.

Joseph Hales

This might be the error in apache when it happens hard to tell.

As all I have are theories, can you all update? I am fairly sure things aren’t 100%, but I’m hoping i’ve made SOME progress cause I’m really hitting it blind.

@Adam-Taylor Is this after updating to the most current version which Tom uped just a few minutes ago?

Adam Taylor

Yes, this was just after updating.

Wayne Workman

@Joseph-Hales Are you using the legacy client or the new client?

I’m going to attempt to replicate your issue.

This was done for 30 seconds.

The err is access make me look at why access is uphappy. See next post.

Adam Taylor

These are some of the access_httpd.log files are not there:

access(“/var/www/html/fog/lib/plugins/ldap/reg-task/Template.class.php”, F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access(“/var/www/html/fog/lib/plugins/ldap/service/Template.class.php”, F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Something is looking for alot of files that are not there… There was 9727 requests for files that don’t exist.

Adam Taylor

From this point on, I’m only going to post what is asked of me to post because i don’t want to flood the thread

I just found it odd that there was that many requests for missing files.

I’m fairly certain that the FOG Dashboard is causing the high CPU usage.

after moving the dashboard’s js file and refreshing the FOG Dashboard, I saw a 0.02% 1-minute CPU Load average while sitting on the FOG Dashboard page.

mv /var/www/html/fog/management/js/fog/fog.dashboard.js /var/www/html/fog/management/js/fog/fog.dashboard.js.moved

After putting it back and refreshing the FOG Dashboard, I saw a 0.24% 1-minute CPU Load average while sitting on the FOG Dashboard page.

mv /var/www/html/fog/management/js/fog/fog.dashboard.js.moved /var/www/html/fog/management/js/fog/fog.dashboard.js

Opening three tabs with the file in the correct place, the 1-minute CPU Load average was at 0.96%

Also, each FOG Dashboard page creates approximately 2 httpd processes. So with 3 pages open and sitting on the dashboard, I was seeing about 6 httpd instances in top. So, my hypothesis is that organizations with multiple FOG users under 1 main server probably have the FOG Dashboard open all the time, causing the load.

I’m not saying they should close the dashboard or not leave it open all day… it’s probably a recent code change somewhere on the dashboard causing this new issue…

SO… if you all could please test, and just temporarily move the file and then tell everybody to refresh their FOG tabs, just see what the CPU does and please report back.

Sebastian Roth

@Wayne-Workman Interesting catch we might have to look into as well. On the other hand I am pretty sure this is not causing the high load on those servers with a lot of clients in the environment. On Joseph Hales’ server we see a lot of apache processes spawned and kept open by clients. Those clients never request Javascript files AFAIK.

I will be setting up an older revision with Joseph later today and I really hope to see a difference. We then step up the revisions to see where it all started. Keep your fingers crossed.

d4rk3

I know for certain it started somewhere between r4960 and r4982.

Wayne Workman

For what it’s worth, there are about 500ish PCs here in my building that are using the legacy client, and I’m using the latest as of yesterday and I’m not seeing the large CPU loads as everyone else is…

Also, nobody here but me and my co-worker even use the fog web interface, and we don’t leave it sitting open either.

d4rk3

@Wayne-Workman Even if the web interface isn’t used by anyone the load will always be high.

However, out of the ~1000 clients I have approximately 900 have the new client installed.

Maybe this issue is related to these newest revisions with regard to communication with the new client (v0.95).

Tom Elliott

Can all update? My suspicion as to a part of the problem is specific to the fog multicast service. I noticed things were not starting for it and would continuously be respawned. This would create quite a high load on the system as it would be constantly creating new sessions and spawning new instances. While I’m sure there may be some cases of weirdness I think this may be a largely attributing factor.

Joseph Hales

I am still seeing the issue after updating and restarting SVN 5106. Also after updating to 5108.

Trevelyan

Still seeing the issue too. Note the huge number of threads and tasks!

Tom Elliott

Guys,

Do me a favor, it’s going to break things, but it’s very specific.

It’s the service module active checks. They’re spawning way too many processes.

For now, just run: mv /var/www/fog/service/servicemodule-active.php /var/www/fog/service/service-active.php

Trevelyan

Well it broke it but it stopped the “thing”!
