Due the high amount of new hosts attached today this killed the webserver. Nearly 300+ hosts are trying to get new apps over the slow upload connection. There was also reached the max connections to the database. I cant do anything at the moment because the bottleneck is the upload of 2Mbit. I will order 6Mbit upload next time but this will not help much.

There is no problem if all hosts have work but all at once kill every server.

Sorry for the downtime. I will try to tweaking some things but there is only a small hope to get it run better.

The upload connection is still overloaded. More and more new hosts are attaching from the same user (400+ now). I have decreased the max_wus_in_progress to 10 per core and set the RPC time to 20s. As long as all new hosts havent got the apps yet the situation will not be better.

No worries Reb =)

That increase is huge if it happens in a short amount of time and as you are also running those very short ones, the traffic must be massive !

But the most important thing is that you react very fast everytime and always give us an explenation what happened and sometimes we are also able to try to help you out.

THAT'S WHY it's a pleasure to crunch your project (ok, also the primes :)) as it's so well managed !

It seems that all the new hosts got the app now. The server is normalizing slowly but the settings are now back to the last ones.

Nearly 600 new hosts now. The user is unbelievable. I hope I can add more work soon until the server is faster or we run dry.

You actually answered my next question, as I know you have to do it "manually" and when you upload big amounts of new tasks, the connection is also very stressed..

But I think it's a happy problem for the project and if you need some new stuff, don't forget to add them to the ongoing BU campaign ;)

The main problem is that most of the hosts are erroring out with disk_limit_exceeded and stress the network connection which is causing to crash and I cannot get it alive after a restart of the VM only. I must increase the max_connections and user_connections now in the webserver config due some mysql errors.

...ok ? but as I told you earlier, make 'em 10 times the needed ones, as the MySQL seems to sit on "old" connections forever before dropping them, and I haven't figured out how to get around it (kill them fast) :(

I hope you have sent him a PM if he's wus are erroring out with lack of disk space, kinda odd with SRBase ? (If I understood you right ?)

He should atually be in here, taking part of this discussion !

...well, at some point (soon PLS) you will have to ban him for a while, as it's messing up the whole project (stalled up/downloads, report problems, Boinc client backing off for 24 hrs...), not nice if He's not serious & crunch the wus, sorry !

The server has been normalized. New work is incoming.

I have ordered now a new internet connection with 400Mbit dl / 25Mbit ul but the download is not relevant. The change will be done next week. The download speed is 3MB/s instead 256kb (for all users). This should be reduce the bottleneck of the network.
