@george1421 And a follow up to that question, how many other VMs are running on this VM Host server?
-
@fernando-gietz start up a group task, then issue this command to MySQL:
SHOW FULL PROCESSLIST
Give us a copy/paste of a large chunk of the output - this will let us know what the problem is. -

I don’t know the number, but a lot of. The FOG server is in the university VM infrastructure. We have all servers of the university are there
We have 6 core dedicated and 12 GB RAM dedicated.

I shorten the mysql response is very large

Maybe the problem is that the browser try to paint the list of all computers that are not in the group, then he needs to list 7000 computers … a very large list. -

@fernando-gietz OK I tell you why I asked. I’m looking at this as a VM issue not fog (yet).
6 vCPU is a HUGE number in regards to VMs. I checked the processor from your lscpu post and that processor has 6 cores (12 hyperthreads). The issue with going too large with vCPUs is that it actually slows down your server because your hypervisor has to find a time slot where it has 6 processors available to run. You will see this in your wait times in your vm stats be higher than your other VM. Since you probably have a dual CPU (if you have a quad processor VM host wonderful) VM host server, and if you have a busy VM host server with a lot of virtual machines your FOG VM will suffer because the time where it has 6 vCPUs available will be quite small. So what should you do? While this will sound the opposite, drop your vCPU count to 4 (I would say 2 vCPUs, but start with 4) and see if you have better performance. Watch your top command. Right now your load average is pretty good, with 4 CPUs keep the numbers below 2,00 for the load average.
Aside from your potential vCPU issue since you are using the database when you see the slowness, we should probably run a test and see how fast your disk subsystem is on your virtual server. I was working on a post about making FOG go faster here: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10459/can-you-make-fog-imaging-go-fast There are some statistics in this post https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10459/can-you-make-fog-imaging-go-fast/6 that you can compare your system against. Just use the dd command to create a 1GB test file and check your disk speeds.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/test1.img bs=1G count=1 oflag=directWhile you can’t really do anything about the results, you will know how your VM Host server compares to my benchmark testing.Finally I have been working on another thread about moving the php processing from apache to php-fpm to get a better web gui performance increase because we off-load php processing from apache to a dedicated php engine. That post is here: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10717/can-php-fpm-make-fog-web-gui-fast When you get the rest of your issues fixed it would be interesting to see (because you have a large campus) if this solution helps with web gui performance.
And finally, you may have reached a limit where you might consider spinning up a new virtual machine dedicated to mysql (2 vCPU) that will be optimized for only mysql activities.

@fernando-gietz In this case I was only interested in the local file creation speed not NFS since that brings in more things (network, nfs subsystem, etc.) that is not part of the issue here.
Based on your numbers, the disk subsystem shouldn’t be your issue here. Your disks should be more than fast enough for them to keep up with mysql. I think I would start with dropping the number of vCPUs on this VM and see how well your performance is then.

I tried to see the membership in our test environment

@fernando-gietz And what is top saying? Header as well as what is the load like on mysql? I want to ensure we have not made things worse.
The default check in time for the fog clients connected to this fog server is 5 minutes. So I might understand if you have 400 clients that you may be over loading mysql or apache.
My initial reaction is to have you try the php-fpm route (because I had a good improvement in performance on my system). But I want to make sure that there isn’t something else going on first.
How long as this virtual machine been in operation (thinking if its been used for a long time we might want to look into some mysql maintenance).

I have captured the browser behaviour with firefox developer tools. Maybe the developer team can see anything.

I have made a new capture of the performance of the browser with the firefox developer tools and I can see the next:
The most of the time the browser calls to setTimeout function
-
Probably it’s best to wait for @Tom-Elliott to look into this. He knows the web UI better than anyone else!
-
Hello!!
Any news about it? -
Mind running the clear memory cache on the server? It would seem, to me, that the setTimeout is being blocked somewhere, as it shouldn’t be having any issues run as it only calls it when the timeout is met.

I try to clear the memory cache on the server with the next command:
sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_cachesBut the problem persists!!
Any idea more?
-
One more thing.
My hosts table has 7000 entries, I think that the problem is the code
Maybe is not optimized.
I drop from the table 6000 entries and now the response time is more normal … 10 -15 seconds.@Tom-Elliott how does FOG the membership?
-
@fernando-gietz I was thinking about this - last time someone had this issue, it was the mysql max connections being hit.
Maybe one of the FOG updates or an OS update (especially likely with Ubuntu systems) wiped out our max connection setting.
Anyways, heres what might fix it:
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Troubleshoot_MySQL#Increase_maximum_simultaneous_MySQL_connectionsMake sure to do the query in mysql AND to change the conf setting too so the change persists reboots!

My hosts table has 7000 entries
Admittedly, this is a whole whole lot of hosts reporting to one server.
At a past job, we had in one setup maybe 2k hosts going to one fog server, that FOG Server has 8 cores, 8GB of RAM. It’s a pretty beefy server but it did a ton of work, and managed a ton of Technicians and a ton of images, and a ton of imaging and snapins and storage nodes. That box was Really busy, and that’s with 2K hosts… You say you have 7,000 hosts… I’d say you need a 16 core server, and configure MySQL to use more than one thread, use solid state disks to host the database, and assign 16GB of RAM - and never image from that server, make storage nodes handle the imaging loads - and keep those loads off of your main server. If you wanted to go even further, you could host the FOG Database on it’s own (very fast) server, and the rest of the main fog server on another box.

After UEFI issue I have time to this XD
@wayne-workman said in FOG Server CPU usage 100%:
@fernando-gietz I was thinking about this - last time someone had this issue, it was the mysql max connections being hit.
Maybe one of the FOG updates or an OS update (especially likely with Ubuntu systems) wiped out our max connection setting.
Anyways, heres what might fix it:
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Troubleshoot_MySQL#Increase_maximum_simultaneous_MySQL_connectionsMake sure to do the query in mysql AND to change the conf setting too so the change persists reboots!
I have increased the connections and the trouble follows
I have setup the mysql to log the slow queries and not appears nothing.The problem is the apache and his activity, it reaches to 100% of CPU. If you see the capture of the browser activity, the problem begins when the browser tries to “Dibujar” (In english, Draw). I think that the browser must to draw all elements, visible and hidden ones.
If you see the membership page, you can see the list of the members, but the browser doesn’t show the members that are not in the group, to see them you need check the checkbox; then, appears all of them. This list is not create on-the-fly, the browser “drew” it before. In my case, the browser need to draw 7000 elements
