Hi, the WFS protocol has no way to advertise limits on the bounding box, so trying to apply them would break any "standard" client, only clients hand-crafted to work against our service would be able to reliably extract information out of it.
The WFS protocol choice to avoid overloading the server is limiting the number of features returned, and let the client resort to paging if they cannot get all they want in one shot. In GeoServer that setting is found under the "WFS" service configuration, and normally set to a high value, like 10 millions features, because the way GeoServer operaters is "streaming", meaning it never loads the whole result in memory, it reads a page of features, encodes them in GML and sends them out, reads another page, and so on until the end. Typically all you need to avoid being overwhelmed is enough database connections, since they are kept open during the whole output writing process. Since you are setting up for production, I'd suggest to also have a look at these contents: - https://www.slideshare.net/geosolutions/geoserver-in-production-we-do-it-here-is-how-foss4g-2016 - https://geoserver.geo-solutions.it/edu/en/adv_gsconfig/index.html - https://geoserver.geo-solutions.it/edu/en/enterprise/index.html Cheers Andrea On Sun, Oct 21, 2018 at 5:36 PM Julien Laurenceau < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > I would like to protect my WFS server from overcapacity and thus I would > like to be able to be able to tune the maximum "cost" of a single request. > I already have a way to rate limit the number of calls so that once I'll > be able to tune the maximum cost of a single request it will be easy to > protect my server from overcapacity. > > The easiest way that I can think of would be : > - to force users to define BBOX in their requests > - to be able to limit a maximum BBOX area on the server. > > I saw that the geofence extension is able to crop the visible area to some > regions, but this is not what I want. > I would like everything to be visible to users, but I would like to force > users to perform several requests when they would like to retrieve a lot of > features with WFS. > > Thanks and regards > Julien > > > <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=icon> > Virus-free. > www.avast.com > <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=link> > <#m_-5174598143498235861_DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> > _______________________________________________ > Geoserver-users mailing list > > Please make sure you read the following two resources before posting to > this list: > - Earning your support instead of buying it, but Ian Turton: > http://www.ianturton.com/talks/foss4g.html#/ > - The GeoServer user list posting guidelines: > http://geoserver.org/comm/userlist-guidelines.html > > If you want to request a feature or an improvement, also see this: > https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/Successfully-requesting-and-integrating-new-features-and-improvements-in-GeoServer > > > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geoserver-users > -- Regards, Andrea Aime == GeoServer Professional Services from the experts!
