Description

Hello opensuse admin team,

i think i have already reported this kind of situation multiple times:

lists.opensuse.org / mailing list web archive - timeouts, sluggishness,
nonresponsive, nginx timeout etc

sometimes some service were crashed or hanging, but most of my times i
try to simply read the mailing lists via web, they seem slow and
sluggish and often taking minutes until a thread has finished loading if
at all.

which can not be attributed to a completely crashed service or
components i guess.

i already asked if opensuse had enough resources for this webserver and
its components to service the public with mailing list archive for the
web, but i was told that the services and resources were adequate and
not the bottle neck.

thanks.
andreas bittner

Yes, we have numerous reports on the topic. Currently, I see a uwsgi process running at 100%, it then stopped/completed after about 4min, only to be followed by another one doing the same.

Discarding 5-6 messages, one by one, every one gives me a 502.

Hi,

apologies for the late reply.

Resources are not an issue, but the Mailman software leaking memory, regardless of how much it is granted. In the meanwhile we implemented various improvements.

To summarize what was discussed in and implemented through various smaller tickets:

  • There are still issues with the backend software, but automatic memory capping makes incidents not as noticeable lately.
  • The nginx performance was improved by offloading redirects to a separate service.
  • Archive searching was improved by using a designated search engine service.

Best,
Georg
