exact conversation, but we determined that JIRA was connecting to LDAP
some 1000 times or so to do the sync.
Right. For every single entry in IPA (user and group), JIRA LDAP sync
does - connect/bind/search/unbind/disconnect. This is horribly
inefficient, but it is what it is, and apparently other apps work the
same way (nexus? svn?), so this would be a good avenue to investigate
performance.
The logs didn't show but one search done that didn't have an index
which is why we concluded it wasn't an index issue.
Adding indexing did help, but not much, and not nearly enough to make
the performance acceptable.
Thanks,

Ah, ok. One of the reasons why I was poking to this thread is exactly
this
ticket. It does not contain much information _what exactly_ is making IPA
performance poor - whether it is missing indices (which ones?) or
some issue
in IPA plugins during binds, etc.
Without more information, we do not know what to fix, what to improve.

Martin,
I apologize there was a large offline conversation between Rich and
myself. Rich was kind enough to help me through some of my issues. We
did a lot more tests and poking and prodding. We discovered that
IPA is
not as efficient when dealing with large number of connections. Most of
my load inefficiently reconnect to IPA over and over and over and though
LDAP can deal with this fairly efficiently, IPA apparently drops to it's
knees.
A ticket was opened to addressed this issue.

Well IPA has machine entries on some test clusters that I'm rolling

I've stood up a clone of the jira server along with IPA. I cleared
my logs and then did the sync and ran the log analyzer on it. These
stats are pretty much ONLY for that jira sync I don't have any other
connections pointed to it.

This looks like a promising way to find out the reason, thanks John.
However, I see just one unindexed search. Is the access log complete?
Previously I see that the sync takes 900 seconds/15 minutes, but there
is only 4 minutes the access log. Note that it it may take some time
until the log is dumped.
I think it would be also useful to run the analyzer with "-ula"
flags as
Rob suggested earlier to find out the unindexed searches (if any).
What I find interesting is that JIRA does a lot of LDAP BINDs. Can the
problem be in longer BINDs than with than expected (compared to for
example plain LDAP servers)? Performance-wise, it would be I think
better if JIRA does just one BIND and run all the LDAP searches the
established connection. But I do not know if it can be configured this
way.
Rich, Rob, I am wondering if the slow up is not really caused by the
binds, we have several DS plugins tied to the BIND operation, it may be
useful to analyze if they do not take too long.
