RunDeck UI seems very slow

[Paul Stack]

Hi

So i have just created a rundeck server to start to test a new patching flow. When creating the box, I have provisioned a VM with 8GB RAM and 8 CPUs. The JVM settings of the box are as follows:

/etc/rundeck/profile

RDECK_JVM="$RDECK_JVM -Xmx1024m -Xms256m -server"

We have 1 project and 0 jobs and the page response is about 10 - 12 seconds

We are using rundeck 2.1.3-1

Has anyone seen any issues with this version?

Thanks

Paul

Hi Paul,

I have a VM with 4GB ram 4 vCPU on centos 6.5 with Java 7, rundeck 2.1.3, 8 projects and 80+ jobs. All runs fine, am using nginx to reverse proxy to rundeck/jetty.

Hi Paul,

Are you using an external DB? Are there any messages in the service log file?

Check the CPU load on your client, there is a bug related to javascript that needs to be optimized.

Hi Greg

We are using a local PostgreSql server.

Our service.log is over 600mb. On blowing it away and restarting the app, before I even log into rundeck UI, I get the following:

root@rundeck-01:/var/log/rundeck# cat service.log

The login page is still taking an extraordinary time to load at this stage. 

 

Looking at the load of the server gives me this detail

Hi Paul,

Looks like a startup error due to a schema problem. This might be a problem similar to the one we saw with Oracle.

Not sure if you can try using Mysql but perhaps just to see if you still see CPU related issues.

Thanks

Hi Alex

Thanks for the tip here. The system is a bit better now but still runs about 5 - 6 seconds for a page load - even with 2 projects and no jobs in it.

The contents of the /var/log/rundeck/service.log now look much better:

WARNING: HTTPS is not enabled, specify -Drundeck.ssl.config=/var/lib/rundeck/server/config/ssl.properties to enable.

Maybe I just need to start tweaking JVM settings now that it is running a bit better

Thanks

Hi Paul,

With empty projects, you should see immediate page load. The RPM/DEB packages need to be updated to also increase permgen size. Change your /etc/rundeck/profile to include MaxPermSize:

RDECK_JVM="$RDECK_JVM -Xmx1024m -Xms256m -server -XX:MaxPermSize=256M"

Thanks

[Sorin Ionuț Sbârnea]

It seems that I do encounter a similar behaviour.

I am just testing RunDeck with a configuration of 2 projects from which one has one sample job and I do get the same weird slow page responses.

I do use LDAP/AD to login and I configured to use an external PostgreSQL database, Nginx in front of it, which provides the SSL layer. 

The logs do not present any errors or warnings but most UI operations do take ~10 seconds, very weird and unpleasant indeed. 

Obviously, there is nothing wrong with the memory or CPU on the JVM or the host. Running with JVM-8

[Alex Honor]

Hi Sorin,

What version of Rundeck is it? Also, what are the java heap memory settings? Finally, what kind of model source are you sing?

Thanks

Hi Sorin,

Would you mind sharing how you set up LDAP using PostgreSQL?  I got it to work using the default MySQL but not in Postgres.  Have you set up https also?

Thanks!
