Description
Observation¶
Another instance of unresponsiveness on 2024-03-26 1334Z, https://monitor.qa.suse.de/d/WebuiDb/webui-summary?orgId=1&from=1711459478659&to=1711461053083 . A sudden unresponsiveness with indicators in before. CPU usage and other parameters moderate and getting low after the unresponsiveness started. In the system journal on OSD the first obvious symptom:

Could this have to do with long-running live session connections exhausting some worker pool?
In /var/log/error_log it looks like there are every couple of minutes some timeout messages but a surge after the incident start. And certain errors during the outage. From grep 'Mar 26 14:' error_log | grep -v 'AH01110' | sed 's/client [^]]*/:masked:/':

The above look like symptoms that we can use to improve our monitoring at least. Or should we really just switch to nginx in before?

New OSD unresponsiveness https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/158059 . Should we 1. improve our monitoring, 2. switch to nginx, 3. ignore it and do other more important stuff. Please vote!
I also asked in #eng-testing. Let's see what comes out of it.

Having looked over the monitoring data from the most recent case of OSD being unresponsive, there was some interesting information. Most importantly there was a significant spike in write activity by Apache visible on the scoreboard. That could indicate that a huge number of file downloads were exhausting our entire pool of Apache worker processes (since Apache workers only handle one connection at a time). This is indeed a problem where switching to nginx (like we did for O3 before) could be of significant benefit.
