Description of problem: This issue was reported by automation. It's not easy to reproduce it locally. So far it happened during configuration update of following resource types: [as7] Security Domain [as7] Security JBossAS7 Standalone Server DeploymentScanner JAXR and some more, so it seems it's not tied with specific resources but it's general problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): b1eec74 4.12.0-SNAPSHOT How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. navigate to some resource listed above 2. and try to update it's configuration Actual results: It takes up to 100 seconds to update the configuration (Configure_inprogress_16.png is visible). Expected results: It should take a few seconds. Additional info: This is not related to HA (it happens with single server as well) No exceptions in logs.
I was hitting this issue as well. There is a scheduled job on agent ConfigurationCheckExecutor, that collects configurations for all resources. This job is implemented as Runnable. Then there is a ThreadPool with size 1 thread, that handles above job + whenever there comes request from server it's also executed in this threadpool. So .. when this job is running, it's actively blocking config update request from server to happen. This issue is visible since 4.10, when there has been added waiting 750ms to scheduled job, whenever it loads config for 1 resource. This job can then run for example 10minutes if you have enough resources. I talked to Heiko .. and there's an intention of having only 1 thread (to avoid concurrency issues .. interference of scheduled job and "manual" config updates. Possible solution would be to change scheduled job not to be single runnable, but rather a queue of runnables, that would be executed one after each other, and have priority queue so we can insert config update request to the beginning of queue to make sure it gets executed almost immediatelly.
Update: Work is progressing in https://github.com/rhq-project/rhq/pull/62 It's hopefully close to a merge.
