Hi, I'm a dev guy from the Munin project(*). We have some heavy RRD among our users.
Some hints from the trenches: * I discovered that having multiple rrdcached daemon is actually very bad for performance. The only way to shard them efficiently is to have them handling a different FS with different disk subsystem. (I didn't try with SSD btw) * For some workloads tmpfs+sync (note that a simple cp might be more efficient than a rsync) is simply the best. * You have to avoid doing reads on rrds, as it flushes. (1.4.x, don't know about 1.5) * A very big -w and -z setting (think 3600) helps, as it give rrdcached the most flexibility to reorder writes * Always flush manually before closing (FLUSHALL on the socket), to avoid too long restart times. The restarts journal read is way too slow, a you noticed. Hopes it helps.

Things to look at: a) try rrdtool 1.5rc2 since this is the latest and greates code b) go into the cached code and add some debugging output c) strace/truss may provide some insight in to what rrdcached when it seems busy d) attach gdb and break processing to see where in the source this is happening. cheers tobi Yesterday Gaby wrote: > Dear developers, could you take a look at my post in the Users forum? > > http://rrd-mailinglists.937164.n2.nabble.com/RRDcached-performance-issues-tp7582783.html;cid=1426345040002-291 > > It has no replies, and I'm still very interested in shedding some light on > it. > > Gaby > > > > -- > View this message in context: http://rrd-mailinglists.937164.n2.nabble.com/RRDcached-performance-issues-from-Users-mailinglist-tp7582860.html > Sent from the RRDtool Developers Mailinglist mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > _______________________________________________ > rrd-developers mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/rrd-developers > > -- Tobi Oetiker, OETIKER+PARTNER AG, Aarweg 15 CH-4600 Olten, Switzerland www.oetiker.ch [email protected] +41 62 775 9902 _______________________________________________ rrd-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/rrd-developers
