High CPU Usage

@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 withmysql -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"

@Arrowtron said in High CPU Usage:
/etc/mysql/conf.d/
will you confirm there are no files in this location?
This is the problem why those date codes are being rejected.
ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION

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.
-
@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.
mysql> SELECT @@GLOBAL.sql_mode global, @@SESSION.sql_mode session; +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | global | session | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION | ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.01 sec)
This is the error he received when he tried to alter the table.
mysql> ALTER TABLE hosts ENGINE=InnoDB; ERROR 1067 (42000): Invalid default value for 'hostSecTime'
If we describe table hosts this is what we see.
MariaDB [fog]> describe hosts; +------------------+---------------+------+-----+---------------------+----------------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +------------------+---------------+------+-----+---------------------+----------------+ | hostID | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment | | hostName | varchar(16) | NO | UNI | NULL | | | hostDesc | longtext | NO | | NULL | | | hostIP | varchar(25) | NO | MUL | NULL | | | hostImage | int(11) | NO | | NULL | | | hostBuilding | int(11) | NO | | NULL | | | hostCreateDate | timestamp | NO | | CURRENT_TIMESTAMP | | | hostLastDeploy | datetime | NO | | NULL | | | hostCreateBy | varchar(50) | NO | | NULL | | | hostUseAD | char(1) | NO | MUL | NULL | | | hostADDomain | varchar(250) | NO | | NULL | | | hostADOU | longtext | NO | | NULL | | | hostADUser | varchar(250) | NO | | NULL | | | hostADPass | varchar(250) | NO | | NULL | | | hostADPassLegacy | longtext | NO | | NULL | | | hostProductKey | longtext | YES | | NULL | | | hostPrinterLevel | varchar(2) | NO | | NULL | | | hostKernelArgs | varchar(250) | NO | | NULL | | | hostKernel | varchar(250) | NO | | NULL | | | hostDevice | varchar(250) | NO | | NULL | | | hostInit | longtext | YES | | NULL | | | hostPending | enum('0','1') | NO | | NULL | | | hostPubKey | longtext | NO | | NULL | | | hostSecToken | longtext | NO | | NULL | | | hostSecTime | timestamp | NO | | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | | | hostPingCode | varchar(20) | YES | | NULL | | | hostExitBios | longtext | YES | | NULL | | | hostExitEfi | longtext | YES | | NULL | | | hostEnforce | enum('0','1') | NO | | 1 | | +------------------+---------------+------+-----+---------------------+----------------+ 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 as1980-01-01 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
-
@Arrowtron ok i will follow up in about 30 minutes with a test we can try.
-
@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.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | global | session | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,>>NO_ZERO_IN_DATE<<,>>NO_ZERO_DATE<<,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION | ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
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';
-
Added the configuration file
sudo systemctl restart mariadb Failed to restart mariadb.service: Unit mariadb.service not found.
Ran systemctl restart mysql (also restarted the server)
Entered in your mysql command, result below:

Something I’m doing wrong?
-
@Arrowtron ok well 50% (and the most important bits worked). We were able to remove the date requirements from the default values for mysql. Good catch on the mariadb vs mysql.
The only thing missing is this command before the
ALTER TABLE
command.USE fog
to tell mysql cli which database we are working on.USE fog; 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';
-
Ah that’s done it!

I’ve reset the client polling time to 60 seconds. Let it run for 4 hrs with the newly converted tables. About ~580 PC’s online with FOG installed at the time. It fluctuates a fair bit in terms of load average. Pictures below; I’ll change client polling to 180. CPU usage is quite acceptable at 180, unless you want it to remain at 60 for the testing purpose? I’ll report back in a week with mysqltuner results
-
I’ve looked over all of the posts in this particular topic. Perhaps I’ve missed it, but I don’t see FOG Server specs. How many cores? Core speed? Type of disk, like SAS2 or SAS3, SATA3, etc. Disk speed? Disk spinner or solid state? Amount of RAM? Size of Swap Space? Is this server a dedicated server? These things are important to know.
-
@Wayne-Workman
Fair point, some of the specs are in the screenshots in htop, however I’ll document the othersVMware Environment
2 Cores for Virtual Machine
Intel Xeon Silver 4214 @ 2.2Ghz per core
3PAR iSCSI Disk | HDD | 10K SAS
RAM 4GB
SWAP 4GB -
@Arrowtron In addition to increasing your fog client checking time as was suggested by @Sebastian-Roth, and in addition to moving the database to InnoDB as suggested by @george1421 I’d recommend you go to 4 CPU cores.
-
@Wayne-Workman Yes i’ll be changing the client check in time after posting the required information from MySQLtuner for @george1421.
Yes 4 Cores would be nice, however due to fog not a being a critical server on our production environment it’s best not to take away resources from other servers. This might change in future though@george1421 Let me know if this is good info for you, I’m looking to update fog in the next couple of weeks. Maybe to the latest development version
