@Sebastian-Roth
Thanks for your reply, I have changed the client checkin time from 60 to 600 (10mins) and has made a huge difference (picture below)

Client Maxsize: 204800000
Grace Timeout: 60

@Arrowtron I have some ideas of what we can do here if you are willing to help the FOG Project team.

Yes can do, let me know what information you need

@Arrowtron Well, what I would like to do is make it worse to make it better. The meaning is to reset as much of the fixes you’ve done to this point to put it back to what way FOG was installed. This includes any adjustments suggested by the mysql tuner script. We need to have it as close to as installed as possible. Also reset the fog client check in time.

Run it in the as installed configuration for a few hours during your peak business time. Use top and sort by processor usage. Grab a screen shot of the top screen.

Shutdown apache

Lets make sure we have a good backup of the mysql server before doing anything. From the fog server linux command prompt key in mysqldump -u root -p --all-databases > all-databases-backup.sql

login to the mysql command line tool with mysql -u root -p fog You will need to use the password you created for the root database user when you installed fog. If you don’t know the password that could be a problem. The older version of FOG had a black password for the mysql root user. Understand I’m using mysql to mean both mysql and mariadb. The command line tool is the same.

At db prompt paste in this command.

SELECT TABLE_NAME,ENGINE
FROM information_schema.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'fog' and ENGINE = 'MyISAM';

You should see an output that looks like this

If your tables show innodb then we have to stop because your database is not in the default state.

If your database files say MyISAM then proceed and paste in these lines. You can do them in one block paste in. Just make sure the last line is entered too.

ALTER TABLE tasks ENGINE=InnoDB;
ALTER TABLE userCleanup ENGINE=InnoDB;
ALTER TABLE userTracking ENGINE=InnoDB;
ALTER TABLE users ENGINE=InnoDB;
ALTER TABLE virus ENGINE=InnoDB;
ALTER TABLE wolbroadcast ENGINE=InnoDB;

Once that is done run the same query again to make sure all of the tables now say innodb

SELECT TABLE_NAME,ENGINE
FROM information_schema.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'fog';

If they are all innodb then you can exit the mysql program if I missed one then run the ALTER TABLE command on those missing tables. Please not any table I missed.

At this point reboot the FOG server.

When the fog server comes back up make sure the web ui works as expected. Let the FOG server run for a few hours then again capture a snapshot for the settings using top. Post the results here.

This next test is to let the FOG server run for a week using the innodb format then rerun the mysql tuner script. DON’T apply the settings, but post the results here. Let us look at the recommendations before you apply them to the FOG server’s database.

In the end what we need to know is the change in performance by simply changing the database engine from isam to innodb format. Also to see the recommendations provided by mysqltuner. I have some default settings for the innodb that I would start out with, but they may not be right for all situation.

Let me say we do need help from FOG Admins who have either unique target hardware or large installations that can’t be simulated easily. With your help I feel strongly that we can improve FOG’s performance and move everyone’s FOG install in a positive direction.

@Arrowtron How is this testing going? Do you see measured improvements in performance?

Arrowtron · Mar 3, 2020, 2:08 AM

@george1421 Sorry didn’t get to you sooner, few work things came up

I have changed the client polling back to 60 seconds and left for a day, screenshot taken at peak time with roughly ~600 PC’s online (with FOG service installed)

Made a VM snapshot at this point* - can revert back if needed

I ran into a few issues with the following tables, they wouldn’t change to InnoDB engine, seems like a corrupt row in that table

I have restarted the server and appears to be loading the web/dashboard - however very slow

I’ll keep this running and let you know if things improve, although those tables that haven’t been changed seem like important tables to change.
Let me know how I should proceed

Arrowtron · Mar 10, 2020, 10:38 PM

@george1421 I haven’t heard back from you, here are the results after 7 days
There are roughly 597 PC’s online with FOG service Installed
As stated from previous reply, there were a few tables that didn’t change to MyISAM
The client polling is 60 seconds

@Arrowtron I’m sorry this dropped off my radar. We need to get the errors converting the tables fixed.

Will you log into the sql server console with mysql -u root or if mysql root user has a password with mysql -u root -p

At the mysql server command prompt key in SELECT @@GLOBAL.sql_mode global, @@SESSION.sql_mode session and post the output.

Also look in the /etc/my.cnf file for sql server and look for a line with a keyword of sql_mode = post the results of that option.

If its not in that file you can find all of the config files with this command /usr/sbin/mysqld --verbose --help | grep -A 1 "Default options"

will you confirm there are no files in this location?

STRICT_TRANS_TABLES

Interesting find. Hmmm, just did a quick test. This is not the case on Debian 9 (MariaDB 10.1.44). But Ubuntu (20.04 - pre release testing) with MySQL 8.0.19 does have the same sql_mode that as we see from the OP’s Ubuntu 18.04 install. I will see if I can figure out why they have it in Ubuntu.

It looks like its the defaults compiled into the sql server because the OP doesn’t have that value specifically set. So now we need to come up with the correct line to exclude that value from the sql server options. Once we get that turned off we can then convert the rest of the tables to innodb format. I do think it is a great find too because that value would have stopped the creation of the fog tables if we defaulted to the innodb engine.

Definitely worth a try though I am not sure how we will handle this “for the mass”. Sure we can mess with DB settings but I am afraid of doing this and causing a lot more issues than we had before. But we’ll see. Probably we’ll find a god solution to that somehow.

george1421 · Mar 16, 2020, 7:26 AM

@Sebastian-Roth I had some more time to look into this and I admit, “I couldn’t see the forest because of the trees”.

This is what the OP posted as the global configuration.

29 rows in set (0.02 sec)

So the issue is (maybe) not the STRICT_TRANS_TABLES like I originally thought, but the two values just after those of NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE

With that in mind we might consider changing the default values for the tables from 0000-00-00 00:00:00 to something more memorable such as 1980-01-01 00:00:00

I don’t know the impact on FOG’s internal program if it uses 0000-00-00 00:00:00 as anything significant or its just a value other than NULL. This seems to be an issue with mysql it doesn’t look like mariadb has these value but does introduce strict_trans_table in 10.2.4 and later. ref: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/sql-mode/

@george1421 Hi George, let me know if you need me to do anything further

george1421 · Mar 24, 2020, 11:11 PM

@Arrowtron ok i will follow up in about 30 minutes with a test we can try.

george1421 · Mar 24, 2020, 5:36 PM

@Arrowtron Our goal with this step is to remove 2 settings from the compiled in default values for the db server.

To do that we need to add a configuration file into /etc/mysql/conf.d/ called sqlmode.cnf. Into that file add in the following:

[mysqld]
sql-mode="ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION"

Save that file and then restart the sql server with sudo systemctl restart mariadb You might have to adjust for your linux OS.

Once the sql server comes back online login with the mysql cli too and key in SELECT @@GLOBAL.sql_mode global, @@SESSION.sql_mode session;

With any luck the following settings will be gone.

If only those values are missing then lets continue with the alter database commands.

ALTER TABLE hosts ENGINE=InnoDB;
ALTER TABLE imagingLog ENGINE=InnoDB;
ALTER TABLE inventory ENGINE=InnoDB;
ALTER TABLE snapinTasks ENGINE=InnoDB;

SELECT TABLE_NAME,ENGINE
FROM information_schema.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'fog' and ENGINE = 'MyISAM';
