In the graphs you posted, what is the grey part? It is not described in the legend and it seems the problem is entirely there. What reverse proxy are you using?
Can you reproduce this with a single master instance? Could you try this sleep: https://gist.github.com/brauliobo/11298486#file-unicorn-conf-rb-L91 On Thu, Mar 5, 2015 at 2:07 PM, Sarkis Varozian <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey All, > > So I changed up my unicorn.rb a bit from my original post: > https://gist.github.com/sarkis/1aa296044b1dfd3695ab > > I'm also still sending the USR2 signals on deploy staggered with 30 second > delay via capistrano: > > on roles(:web), in: :sequence, wait: 30 > > As you can see I am now doing a warup via rack MockRequest (I hoped this > would warmup the master).

Sarkar EITA - Educação, Informação e Tecnologias para Autogestão http://cirandas.net/brauliobo http://eita.org.br "Paramapurusha é meu pai e Parama Prakriti é minha mãe. O universo é meu lar e todos nós somos cidadãos deste cosmo. Este universo é a imaginação da Mente Macrocósmica, e todas as entidades estão sendo criadas, preservadas e destruídas nas fases de extroversão e introversão do fluxo imaginativo cósmico. No âmbito pessoal, quando uma pessoa imagina algo em sua mente, naquele momento, essa pessoa é a única proprietária daquilo que ela imagina, e ninguém mais. Quando um ser humano criado mentalmente caminha por um milharal também imaginado, a pessoa imaginada não é a propriedade desse milharal, pois ele pertence ao indivíduo que o está imaginando. Este universo foi criado na imaginação de Brahma, a Entidade Suprema, por isso a propriedade deste universo é de Brahma, e não dos microcosmos que também foram criados pela imaginação de Brahma. Nenhuma propriedade deste mundo, mutável ou imutável, pertence a um indivíduo em particular; tudo é o patrimônio comum de todos."
