I believe that those only have an effect if you have configured syncing on.

disk assist performance is known to be poor (it's really designed as a last-resort option that you should not end up usiing in normal operation). There has been some talk about revamping the queue mechanism, including disk queues and their performance, but that's a major project.

However, if you have new data going into the disk queues, you need to troubleshoot what's wrong that's preventing the logs from being delivered and causing them to back up. If you don't solve that problem, the speed you can extract them from the disk queue is meaningless as you will just keep adding to the queue and not pull from it.

Logs only go to the disk queue when the memory queue is too full and more logs are arriving. Logs get delived from the memory queue first, and only after it's empty do logs get pulled from the disk queue.

Hi Joe,

I think the way to change it is via queue.checkpointinterval (and
maybe also set queue.syncqueuefiles to "off"). It's also possible that
there are more settings under

Best regards,

Hey folks,

I've got a big disk assisted queue with many million logs in the backlog,
and the feed is still coming in.  I see that the queue is releasing
messages, but at a very slow rate (sometimes as slow as 50/second).

Is there any way to change the bulk size for the DA portion of the queue?
What configs settings might help to deal with the backlog better?  Right
now my dequeuebatch size is quite large (50k) as the feed is quite large,
and is still flowing in.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

JB
