Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, certain backend calls would sometimes cause environments with a high number of virtual machines and users to lock up the user portal, regardless of how many virtual machines were allocated to the individual user. Now, the calls have been organised more efficiently to prevent scaling issues.

Description Omri Hochman 2012-11-28 10:02:53 UTC
ovirt-engine-backend [Scalability]:Problematic query 'getallfromvms' causes user portal to become stuck after user login.  

Description:
************
When user attempts to login to the User Portal on a scale environment (with many VM's), User Portal will become stuck and the browser will stop functioning. it happens due to 'getallfromvms' query that runs when presenting the 'Virtual Machines' tab.

Note:
*******
user portal will get stuck  even If the user does not have Any VM's attached to him or have only a single VM attached to him. 

RHEVM Environment:
*******************
- RHEVM (Build IC24.4) installed on physical  
- Postgresql remote DB on another physical machine.

Objects in RHEVM: 
*****************
- Total 31 Hosts. 
- Total 50 iSCSI Storage Domains +  1 ISO + 1 Export
- Total ~1800 not running VM's ,
- 2300 Users/Groups

Having the execution plan for these quereis would be a great help.

Omri, if it's possible, I'd like the following done:

1. Edit postgres.conf and add the following lines:
shared_preload_libraries = 'auto_explain'
custom_variable_classes = 'auto_explain'
auto_explain.log_min_duration = '60s'

2. Restart postgres demon

3. Run the same scenario and attach /var/pg_data/pg_log

Comment 5 Yair Zaslavsky 2012-11-29 15:11:56 UTC
looks like a serious performance issue with fn splitter (we split group ids, then perform full table scan on groups table).

We will have to get rid of the comma separated values of group ids and host them in a table + handling all upgrade aspects , the fnSplitter performance is bad !!!

why wasn't this an issue until now?

Comment 14 Omri Hochman 2012-12-05 14:19:23 UTC
Apparently the problem was the number of object that the user portal had to present. In my case : the user portal had to present 2000 VMs, because the users I login with the user portal - had 'UserRole' As 'System Permissions' --> 
that means that the users had permission to see all 2000 VMs (this permission is not shown under the VM's 'Permission' sub-tab), and since there's no paging in the user portal virtual machine tab, user-portal probably fail to handle large number of VM's and the browser stuck. 

I'm not sure If this scenario is relevant.

Comment 16 Barak 2012-12-06 13:05:23 UTC
To recap the issues discussed here, there were 2 issues:

- 2000 VMs with 2000 users (1 vm per user)
  * this seems to be an inefficiency in our user/permissions queries, will 
    require a DB schema change.

- 2000 VMs all belong to 1 user:
  * looks like User-Portal UI paging issue


Are the 2 issues above valid ?

We haven't tested this yet, We will create a script that stimulate the scenario and post the results.

This scenario is valid, in case:  we would like to allow : superuser/admin@interanl/ or any other user with 'system-permission' to login the user portal.

Comment 22 Yair Zaslavsky 2012-12-16 16:56:09 UTC
A patch to improve getUserAndGroupsById (at create_functions.sh)

Should be added as well.

http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/9825/1 - should also handle fix for

Comment 25 Omri Hochman 2012-12-31 12:37:27 UTC
Tested the following scenario (rhevm 3.1, build SI25.2) - Environment with ~400 users, each user associated with 3-4 Vm's.

One User is logged-in to user portal: every time the user portal 'refresh' (it can happen automatically or manually), the query 'getallfromvms' occur and takes 3 seconds to answer.   

pg_log:
*******
LOG:  duration: 3412.774 ms  execute S_38: select * from  getallfromvms($1, $2)

DETAIL:  parameters: $1 = '2d1cbea3-26db-4a70-81a7-f5763076533e', $2 = 't'

When two different users are logged-in from two different computers 
and refreshing the user portal together - the query takes 8 second to answer.

When three different users are logged-in from two different computers 
and refreshing the user portal together- the query takes 12 second to answer.

DETAIL:  parameters: $1 = '1aeca5b2-c933-47bb-b69e-45376c1ed851', $2 = 't'  

When attempting to login to user-portal with user that has user-role permission, for All the VM's in the system (i.e, admin@internal) the browser will get stuck, But in that case, I don't see any large 'getallfromvms' query in pg_log.

Test the above patch using the same environment/scenario described in Comment #25 the results showed significant improvement in 'getallfromvms' query time.  

pg_log : (3 users logged-in and manually refreshing user-portal)

Note:

login to user-portal, with user that has permission to see All VM's - will still cause the browser to stuck (no paging issue).

No issues are found.

Verified on RHEVM 3.2 - SF17.1 environment:

RHEVM: rhevm-3.2.0-11.28.el6ev.noarch
VDSM: vdsm-4.10.2-21.0.el6ev.x86_64
LIBVIRT: libvirt-0.10.2-18.el6_4.5.x86_64

SANLOCK: sanlock-2.6-2.el6.x86_64


Tested in following  environment:
RHEVM: install on physical machine
DB: install on remote physical machine

Steps to Reproduce::
1. On iSCSI DC create 1800 VM's
2. All VM's in “Down” state
3. Add user to “Permissions” management with “PowerUserRole” role, to all those VM's.
4. Login with this user to User Portal

An others problem are found, such user experience in this scenario, already open separate bugs.
