Email from mschick: So, poking through the logs and watching the processlist we noticed config.cgi eating quite a bit of cpu time. Grep'ing through the logs showed a bunch of access by Eclipse client[1]. I hit the url manually and got a 15M file returned after quite a lengthy pause: time wget "https://bugzilla.redhat.com/config.cgi?ctype=rdf" -O out --2008-08-13 16:09:51-- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/config.cgi?ctype=rdf Resolving bugzilla.redhat.com... 209.132.176.231 Connecting to bugzilla.redhat.com|209.132.176.231|:443... connected.

I will fix that when checking in the fix. Thanks Dave Change committed to cvs that switches to to shadow db for these connections. Dave |
Created attachment 314353 [details] Patch to have config.cgi use the shadow db is available (v1) Description of problem: Some clients are using config.cgi to get data from Bugzilla for use with 3rd party applications such as Eclipse, etc. We need to either enforce that some parameters must be provided or somehow cache the data on the server side instead of hitting the database each time. Another option is for the config.cgi script to use the shadow db if one is available.
