Description Mike McCune 2016-02-25 17:54:14 UTC
Right now we have a pre-set limit of 225 Content Hosts for QPID which is far too low, see the install guide section:


https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Satellite/6.1/html/Installation_Guide/sect-Red_Hat_Satellite-Installation_Guide-Prerequisites.html#sect-Red_Hat_Satellite-Installation_Guide-Prerequisites-Large_deployments

"""
Increasing the Maximum Number of Client Connections
With more than 225 content hosts, qpidd reaches the maximum number of client connections. To increase it, first establish the new value of the limit that is calculated as: 
"""

we should have our installer configure the various system level values to increase the defaults so customers don't hit arbitrary limits with reasonable # of clients.

Ideally we can support up to 30k clients without requiring manual reconfiguration.

Hello Pradeep,

Based upon your testing, do you have any specific recommendations on the configurations/properties to tune and their values to support addressing this request?

Thanks!

Comment 5 Stephen Benjamin 2017-06-02 14:03:43 UTC
The 6.1 docs linked in comment 0 are a bit out of date.  6.2 has different requirements, documented at  https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.2/html/installation_guide/large_deployment_considerations.

Each item is detailed below. Some are entirely possible in the installer.  The postgresql configuration is complicated, see item #3.  I would not expect that to make 6.3.


1. "Increasing the Maximum Number of File Descriptors for Apache"

Not available. Maybe expose in puppet-foreman? But installer won't wipe out these changes if manually made for now as changes are made via systemd drop-ins.


2. "Increasing the Maximum Number of File Descriptors for qpid"

   PR (pending) https://github.com/Katello/puppet-qpid/pull/64

   Custom hiera usage:

   ::qpid::open_file_limit: 65536

3. "Increasing the Shared Buffer and Work Memory" (postgresql)

   Complicated, because of how puppetlabs-postgresql works.  I wouldn't expect this to make the installer for 6.3

   Upstream discussion: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/foreman-dev/mKELbDvo-TQ/kYRIHYZQDAAJ


3. "Increasing Concurrent Content Host Registrations"

   Partial. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1449697


4. "Increasing the maximum number of open files for qdrouterd"

   PR (pending) https://github.com/Katello/puppet-qpid/pull/50

   Custom hiera usage:

   ::qpid::router::open_file_limit: 3160

Comment 7 Pradeep Kumar Surisetty 2017-06-07 03:48:45 UTC
1) Tuned profiles

    If its RHEL6, install tuned and setup throuput-performance profile
    If its RHEL7, its taken care
2)  Apache Configuration : Passenger config
    It depends on workloads. 

3) Increase apache open files



4) Increase qpid open files

5) Increase content_action_accept_timeout
 in Administer -> Settings -> Katello
 to more than default (20seconds) so clients have more time to answer

6) Increase qdrouterd open files

7) increase postgresql tunings
   shared_buffer
   max_connections
8) httpd_foreman_ssl_katello_keep_alive: 'On'
9) httpd_foreman_ssl_katello_keep_alive_timeout: '5'
10) httpd_foreman_ssl_katello_max_keep_alive_requests: '0'
11) httpd_foreman_ssl_passenger_max_requests: '1000'
12) httpd_foreman_ssl_passenger_max_preloader_idle_time: '0'
13) httpd_passenger_passenger_max_pool_size

    This needs good capacity planning. increasing it more can cause more CPU usage. For puppet workloads also, it will affect

14) postgres_log_min_duration_statement: '500'
15) Increase smart_proxy open files

Comment 8 Chris Roberts 2017-07-26 16:28:50 UTC
Based on Comment #5 moving this out of Sat 6.3 as its not possible.
