I have a deployment server with triple number of deployment clients. Same Symptoms, server is bored (heavily underutilized), GUI is unusable (huge delays after each click).
I observed that the browser (I used on my laptop for administering the deployment-server WEB-GUI) consumes all the RAM on my laptop.
I have never seen a browser process before consuming more than 2 GB of RAM. The effect is independent from the browser used.
--> Looks like there are some JavaScript functions used on the deployment-server WEB-GUI which update data in the background. The more deployment clients, the more JavaScript is running in parallel.
This JavaScript in the deployment-server WEB-GUI is scaling for hundreds of deployment clients, but not for thousands.
Is there a way to switch off that Javascript? If not, I have to switch from GUI to CLI level administration.
Maybe splunk helps us by improving the resource consumption in the browser (which implies a redesign of the GUI).
