Deployment Monitor Scalability

[jonathanmorcom]

I've just done a complete re-install of this app on a new server. Only other app running on the new server is Deployment Server.

I've dropped the summary index retention to 1 month.

It still is almost un-usable... Incredibly slow load times etc. We are quite a big site, with a large amount of data so it could be related to the scale of the data it has to process from the indexers perhaps. Though it did seem to work quite a bit better on version 4.

Has anyone else had issues?

Try taking a look at your Search Jobs for Deployment Monitor. If you click on Jobs in the upper right menu, and then select App:Deployment Monitor, Owner: All, you will be able to inspect the App Search jobs. Click on inspect and that will bring up a window detailing the performance of a given search job.

In particular, note where the majority of time is spent for the job, and also note the ammount of time spent in command.search.rawdata vs command.search.summary. If you see that most of the time is spent in searching rawdata, that would be an indicator that Report Acceleration Summaries are not being used.

I might give this a shot next week. For now have the old version happily chugging along. Thanks for the advice!
