Description Sean O'Keeffe 2019-04-23 20:06:11 UTC
Description of problem:

In 6.5 Beta, when going from the "All Hosts" to the "Content Views" page it is slow, taking close to 9 seconds to load 2 entries. There are also two calls made to the same endpoint, which you can see from http and production.log

NOTE:
This doesn't happen when refreshing the Content View page, it seems you must be on the "All Hosts" page beforehand.

Comment 3 Brad Buckingham 2019-05-01 17:27:07 UTC
I am still seeing this behavior on a later build with tfm-rubygem-katello-3.10.0.46-1.el7sat.noarch.


I do not see the same behavior on 6.4.3; therefore, marking as a Regression.

Created redmine issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/27175 from this bug

Comment 6 Ian Ballou 2019-07-02 19:39:58 UTC
The issue here likely relates to Turbolinks in core Foreman since it has been seen before: https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/11884.  There are a number of pages that have two GET requests rather than one when Turbolinks needs to do a full page refresh.  This depends on differences in the JavaScript between the two pages that are being navigated between.

Other pages where I've seen the duplicate GETs:
All Hosts <-> Create Host
All Hosts <-> About
Create Host <-> Content Hosts
Create Host <-> OSTree Branches

The duplicate GET happens more often to/from core Foreman pages, perhaps it relates to jQuery as well.

The duplicate GET request doesn't appear to be causing significant performance issues.  In a performance test on a Satellite 6.5 instance with 83 Content Views, there was on average a 0.5 second decrease in speed when a duplicate GET request occurred.  If there was a significant performance decrease when accessing Content Views in the 6.5 Beta, it's probably unrelated to the duplicate GET requests.

Upstream bug assigned to iballou

Comment 8 Ian Ballou 2019-11-07 19:33:52 UTC
We are closing this as WONTFIX because Turbolinks classic (which causes this behavior) is soon going to be dropped from Satellite.
