Description Robb Hamilton 2021-05-14 15:05:01 UTC

Description of problem:  The Cluster Settings > Global Config page is incessantly requesting resources.  Eventually, the constant stream of requests overwhelms the browser and the page becomes unresponsive.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Go to /settings/cluster/globalconfig
2.  Open the Inspector and go to the Network tab
3.  Note the constant stream of resource requests

Sam suspects this is the result of https://github.com/TheRealJon/console/blob/ecc0236c4b4c3665c4b42030e704b52a8e680509/frontend/public/components/cluster-settings/global-config.tsx#L63-L66 being different every time.

Sam, what requests should disappear with fix PR merged? or are they requested less frequently? 

I observe console is only incessantly requesting silences, rules, version, acm-console-link, user-settings-kubeadmin requests on latest 4.8, didn't see any extra specific requests.
on 4.6.31 I can see console is requesting storageclasses, rules, silences every few seconds.

Comment 3 Samuel Padgett 2021-05-27 06:02:20 UTC

Hi, Yadan. If you went to the Administration -> Cluster Settings -> Global configuration page, you would see repeated requests for each of the global config resources (things like authentications, consoles, oauths, etc.) in the dev tools network tab. It was an infinite loop, so they would repeat non-stop until leaving the page. It should be pretty obvious when it happens. If you're not seeing that, the bug is fixed.

Comment 4 Yadan Pei 2021-05-27 10:02:08 UTC

Ok, I see. 

I think now the requests to get global config resources is not repeated

Moving to VERIFIED, checked against 4.8.0-0.nightly-2021-05-26-172234

Comment 5 Yadan Pei 2021-05-27 10:57:01 UTC

To be more accurate, the requests to global config resources are not repeated in a infinite loop, so the issue is fixed
