Suddenly very slow performance – SLOOOOOW database performace

Installation and Configuration

Taking a look at the server, I see that my disk is now 99% full.

I am kind of wondering what might NOW be consuming 182 of 194GB of disk. When I reported this a couple of days ago the disk was showing 62GB in use.

I turned of the INF and DBG logging and put all the logs on a 3-day purge cycle. My developer tells me that most of the uptick in space usage is the DB.

After making a bunch of changes, system performance feels much more responsive even though running the Performance Check still returns an absurdly big result (greater than 50). Looking at the activity log I see a lot of the following entries – most of them from the same IP addresses:

developer: slow query took 276ms (associated with AWS)
developer: slow query took 450ms (associated with Google)

Slow db query logging is turned off in Global Config

I am also getting the following when trying to take a look at the Error Log from the Dashboard:

Unable to process your request
The system has encountered an unrecoverable error - please try again shortly

AND I found a typo in a help message in Global Config • Developer Settings in the Developer Settings tab, Developer is misspelled:

If this option is enabled, additional tools for rebasing and resetting the system will appear in the Develope Tools -- Tools menu
Default: off

Michael –

I am asking my developer how he wants to proceed. I think the first step is to see if there is any overlap in the Jamroom/Ghost universe. There is already a OneAll module.

He is, of course, going to offer this on the Ghost side, and we can explore how many Ghost users are interested in a connection to Jamroom communities. If it’s just me? Probably not.

Right now, all of the Database Options are set to off. (Global Config-Database Options)

Would it help to turn these on for a couple of days to see what we might find?

I have a lot of log tables. I just took a look at the Activity Log tab System Core - Global Config.

I have Developer Mode on. Not sure why.
Just before I took this screenshot (attached) PURGE was set to never.

I am going to set the purge to 1 day to force a purge ASAP then reset to 10 days and turn developer mode off.

What else should I consider?

The tech guy I work with – who also handles my Ghost development and hosting – is looking into local network/VM issues that may be affecting performance.

I don’t see an obvious system status dashboard so I am going to have to create a support ticket.

While it took a loooooooooooong time., table optimization was completed and I exited properly. One suggested upgrade to all of the checks would be to add an elapsed time in the completion dialog. Could be useful in diagnosing issues. The regular integrity check took about the amount of time I remember it taking.

db_host is 127.0.0.1 – localhost, not remote. I am on a VPS.

This is the first performance anxiety issue on Contabo. If this persists then I will definitely consider moving back.

Thanks. We will take a look at that. Is there a clue in the attached screenshot?

As an FYI, my developer is working on a NodeJS service to make it possible to use OneAll with Ghost.

As this is not an JR plug-in, how would I let JR users know that the NodeJS service is available?
