HIGH CPU Fog Services after update r5029 v6759

baggar11

One thing that I noted was interesting was after an upgrade, cpu cycles are normal. System is idling. FOG WebUI works fine, no issues.

Once I restart the virtual machine and the FOG services start up on boot, that’s when those 3 services start consuming all of the cpu.

Tom Elliott

@baggar11 Well, there’s 5 total services.

That said, it seems this is somewhat well known about, and our method to “check” and correct isn’t working properly. It only seems, to me, to impact Ubuntu (Maybe older versions of Debian?)

I know the problem, in the past, was related to the network (maybe other required services) aren’t running when the FOG Services start up.

Maybe try adding a sleep 30, then manually start the services by the use of the rc.local file.

Basically the rc.local is processed LAST and by that time, network may still not be up, so the sleep time just ensure’s it has ample time to come up.

Try disabling the FOG Services from starting at boot.

Then, edit the /etc/rc.local file.

Add:

sleep 30
/etc/init.d/FOGPingHosts stop
/etc/init.d/FOGScheduler stop
/etc/init.d/FOGImageReplicator stop
/etc/init.d/FOGSnapinReplicator stop
/etc/init.d/FOGMulticastManager stop
/etc/init.d/FOGPingHosts start
/etc/init.d/FOGScheduler start
/etc/init.d/FOGImageReplicator start
/etc/init.d/FOGSnapinReplicator start
/etc/init.d/FOGMulticastManager start

This should put the service files to a point where they’re not constantly looping (which is what’s most likely causing the CPU load in the first place.

Sorry guys! I have been rolling the dev version for so long without issue, I totally forgot about the startup services possibly being an issue. I’m all set now. Here’s what I did.

Ran this on each service

sudo update-rc.d FOG*service* disable

Then, as suggested, added these line to my rc.local

sleep 5
service FOG*service* start

@baggar11 Very nice.

@Tom-Elliott Upgrade to latest pull r5037
server is fine if i start the services one at a time

but both storage nodes have high CPU
and i have started them one at a time to check
as soon as i start one it jumps to like 98% and levels out at about 50%

@Raymond-Bell Just going to guess but the Storage nodes, currently, are unable to talk with the main FOG Server?

Editing the rc.local file now will let you know after reboot

Raymond Bell

@Tom-Elliott
After editing rc.local and rebooting all i got to web sign in and got this

Database Schema Installer / Updater
But i did not get this during set-up to the latest SVN

I click install and get ’

Install/Upgrade Successful!

The following errors occured

Update ID: 1 - 0

Database Error:

Too many connections, Message: Check that database is running

Database SQL:

Update ID: 1 - 1

Database Error:

But second time login just fine and server is seeing nodes

After reboot and rc.local edit

Still don’t understand why i have so many apache2 services running on the server either…

Tom Elliott

@Raymond-Bell are you disabling the services from booting completely? Then using the rc.local?

THe rc.local won’t work if it can’t stop the original tasking anyway.

Yes and i rebooted also

I have 11 apache processes running right now, I’m fairly certain it’s normal behavior. Load is under 0.5% total.

Raymond Bell

@Wayne-Workman i will try this i think this is what Tom is talking about

Can you edit the /etc/mysql/my.cnf file and add in the [mysqld] portion (or change) max_connections = 500 then restart the mysql service? (sudo service mysql restart)

Yes that helped with the to many connections
Also this helped on the server but not the nodes

sudo update-rc.d FOG*service* disable```

Try disabling the FOG Services from starting at boot.

Then, edit the /etc/rc.local file.

Add:

sleep 30
/etc/init.d/FOGPingHosts stop
/etc/init.d/FOGScheduler stop
/etc/init.d/FOGImageReplicator stop
/etc/init.d/FOGSnapinReplicator stop

Guys , @Raymond-Bell & @Tom-Elliott

do you got an patch-solution for this?
After the patch from this afternoon i also get HIGH CPU services (now got 6777)

@Raymond-Bell The rc.local stuff is also on the Storage Nodes?

yes i edited rc.local on Storage Nodes also

Tom Elliott

@Raymond-Bell Did you restart the services after adding the rc.local? I’m sorry if I’m asking obvious questions, but I really just need to make sure. Current update should help alleviate CPU usage as well though.

will do it again to make sure
