Server slow and lagging behind... [solved]
Posted: Mon Sep 20, 2010 10:44 am
You might already have noticed it, since yesterday the Meteoplug server has a performance issue. Things are related to a Linux update, which seems to have a negative performance impact on the mysql, which in general is always very busy on the server. The symptoms we are facing are that data gets received, but it can take 1-2 hours until the charts and aggregated data is updated. Meteoplug server is doing this in a round robbing mode. Normally the queues are kept empty, but caused by the performance drop the server actually struggles to get data through faster than new data arrives. When aggregated data in the db gets older than 30 minutes or so, Meteoplug will not upload that outdated info to connected weather networks. So you might see some warning messages about "not recent" data in the log files.
Good news is, that no data will be lost and that I am confident to have this performance problem solved shortly.
Thanks for your patience!
