'Updating Last Seen' and 'hijack topics timings' and 'Track Visit' is still running after 90 seconds

I’ve got the problem.

Several time a day my forum goes in situation where all updates process are delayed.

'Updating Last Seen' is still running after 90 seconds on db default, this process may need to be restarted!

I see stange disk activity as well

or some peek on week

I have backup settings as “every 3 days”.
I do have two plugins
discourse-whos-online
discourse-topic-list-previews

What’s to check? Or logs to see?

Disable these and rebuild and see if that helps things.

pfaffman · March 28, 2019, 12:00pm

Do you have enough ram? I’d the cpu far enough?

How big is your database and how much ram do you have? Is swap enabled? Is it getting full?

Dmitry_Krasnoperov · March 29, 2019, 11:27pm

4CPU/8GB and 2GB swap enabled.
But DB is large enough with a lot of images

   84.0GiB [##########] /uploads
   26.7GiB [###       ] /postgres_data
    4.7GiB [          ] /backups

I’ve just got this frozen status update and htop shows

and i got Error

Yep, will disable one by one and see.
Thanks

pfaffman · March 30, 2019, 6:59am

That’s a big database. What’s the value of db_shared_buffers in app.yml?

Dmitry_Krasnoperov · March 30, 2019, 7:14am

  ## Set db_shared_buffers to a max of 25% of the total memory.
  ##
  ## On 1GB installs set to 128MB (to leave room for other processes)
  ## on a 4GB instance you may raise to 1GB
  db_shared_buffers: "2048MB"

pfaffman · March 30, 2019, 12:02pm

You might try bumping it and the other memory variable up a bit. You have fast ssd?

Dmitry_Krasnoperov · May 19, 2019, 1:55pm

Hi,

I’m in DigitalOcean SSD disk.
Set db_shared_buffers: “3048MB”
Disable plugins one by one.

but I’m still getting this disk activity peaks

wandagoner · May 23, 2020, 2:54am

Hi Dmitry,
