Mysql going crazy


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello ! ^_^

Since I upgraded to version 4.1.14, I'm having problems with MySQL on my server.

At moments, it begins using a high percentage of CPU and it doesn't stop...

The only solution I found is stopping MySQL and restarting it...

I would like to find out what is causing the high CPU usage. How can I monitor MySQL to achieve this ?

Thank you. ^_^

Hello !

IPS support gave me a few hints : increasing innodb_ft_cache_size and innodb_ft_total_cache_size and run an OPTIMIZE TABLE query on the ibf_core_search_index table.

That's what I did and it seems like it's doing better, but I still have this FULLTEXT initialization lasting several minutes and causing the server load to rise.

 

I've ran mysqltuner, but it doesn't help much...

I feel that there is some optimization which can be done, but I don't know what to do. Do you have any idea about what can be done to fix this fulltext initialisation problem and optimizing innodb ?

Thank you ! ^_^

I had this problem as well. It was something to do with search index queries taking over MySQL up to an hour. It was so bad mysql would lock causing php to queue up until the web server errored out. It took awhile to figure out because it appears to be run as a scheduled task.

I tried tuning almost everything in MySQL and other places. Although, I had not tried those parameters mentioned in the previous post here. It had worked semi-fine until this latest update. Ultimately I just reduced my search index setting to the last 3 days. I had already kept it down to 30-60 days so as not to overload the server. I will likely try those new parameters, but with my search index down to 3 days it may not matter much now. The site runs pretty fast now with most of the native search kept to a minimum.

My site has over a million topics and 4 million posts. So things that may work on a smaller site or test site may not scale  for mine. On IPS 3 it was not a problem. Sphinx could index the entire site from scratch in about 10 minutes. Not so anymore.

Getting rid of Sphinx is one thing. But it should be replaced with another heavy hitter like Elasticsearch rather than trying to do it with MySql. I actually custom wrote a script to use Elasticsearch for a related search results block. The time to perform the initial index of all 4 + million posts on my site was under 2 minutes. If I just index the 1 + million topics, it only took about 30 seconds. An actual full text search that returns results by a similarity algorithm against this index takes about 40 milliseconds. This is much faster even than Sphinx was by a huge margin. And of course, light years faster than MySQL.

Otherwise for search I just link to Google Custom Search and link to topics in member profiles if they want to see their previous posts. That plus reducing notification history to the bare minimum; turning off notification polling; limiting the number of total topics per forum; and setting guest caching to one hour seem to keep the server overhead down substantially.

Open a support ticket so IPS stuff can check it....

If the issue is related to the latest update they should fix it and push the fix to the latest version so others will avoid it...

Apparently IPS staff believe these issues are only due to bad configurations, so you should really submit a support ticket to hopefully contribute to have them realize otherwise or help you with the configuration. For the sake of all clients. 

Even if it is solved with configuration, I kind of can't believe they don't offer fulltext search that doesn't make use of MySQL (because the extra overhead MySQL produces in this aspect is very real). I personally have turned down search index to 1 year, but even that has got it's complaints on our forum (when it comes to the searchability of the forum, especially from staff). However; with 16 million posts in total and trouble even with a 1 year limit, I don't really have a choice. 

Unfortunately I can't follow my own advice until we have updated our server rig.

I'm actually a bit envious if you can do a year. Fortunately, there are relatively few actual text searches done on my site. So, it's easier to just forward them to the Google custom search page and let them search from about half the site that is actually indexed. If I had more search activity, I'd just work up a front end search box to my elasticsearch instance that I use anyway with all posts in it.

I really wouldn't do that. You can't just go around commenting code out and hoping it'll still work properly.

This query has nothing to do with what the OP posted (we've also made improvements to searching since this topic was opened).

it was added in 4.1.14

but it works and mysql don't stuck CPU

It opens the possibility of the search index containing orphaned data, which could possibly cause issues.

If you're have an issue with it, you're welcome to open a support ticket so that we can look into it.
