Self-hosting on test-passed branch here. Just noticed a couple of suprises in my Sidekiq graph this month: Upon a Discourse update on Sep 3, the history graph jumped from a long-steady average of ~800/day to ~1300/day… …with one very odd exception on Sep 16 when only 24 jobs were recorded. I wasn’t touching anything on the 16th, and I don’t see any unusual site activity. [image] Is there something new in the release I pulled on Sep 3 that causes many more jobs to run, or should I be concerned? Anything suspect about that Sep 16 dip?

[image] ToddZ: Upon a Discourse update on Sep 3, the history graph jumped from a long-steady average of ~800/day to ~1300/day… Depends on which was the previous version. It may be the Bundling more popular plugins with Discourse core and a lot of those are being early exited which would align with more jobs without more CPU usage.

The general trend continues, with a couple more oddities. Still wondering if anyone else observes a ~65% increase in Sidekiq jobs run since updating to 3.5.0. I’ve not noticed any performance changes, but I don’t know if those peaks and valleys are normal or concerning… [image]

I don’t know. But when mine is like this, I would say its normal :man_shrugging: [IMG_2772] And changing timeframe it looks really normal :joy: [IMG_2773]

Thanks, Falco. Sounds reasonable. I don’t have historical CPU data, but the site doesn’t feel any different. I’ll assume the bundling of plugins is behind the graph and not worry about it.
