Zammad 5.2 extremely slow since update from 5.0

Infos:

  • Used Zammad version: 5.2.0
  • Used Zammad installation type: debian package
  • Operating system: debian 10
  • Browser + version: different
  • ESXi, VM has 8 cores E5-2697a V4, 40GB RAM, SSD backed storage, VM host is not too busy…
  • HAProxy as reverse proxy in front of nginx (certificate handling etc)

Expected behavior:

  • zammad works nicely and smoothly

Actual behavior:

  • zammad is slow, opening tickets takes 20-30-40 seconds
  • high rails server and websocket-server load (see htop screenshot)

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  • have 10-20 agents online
  • log in
  • wait

After updating from build 80bf57c1 (we had 1 or 2 ruby/puma processes running at 90-100% all the time and one background-worker.rb with 50-90%) to 743b9821 (I luckily found After updating to 5.2.0 version Zammad works very slow - Technical assistance - Zammad - Community half an hour ago) it got better, puma does not produce as high load. Still not too desirable though.

performance optimizations:

  • elasticsearch.yml:
    http.max_content_length: 400mb
    indices.query.bool.max_clause_count: 2048

We are running 10-30 agents simultaneously, and unfortunately there are ~40 overviews (which are restricted group-wise, so each user has a maximum of 10 overviews, less is not possible unfortunately)

Any clue how to get this to work smoother again? Before we updated to 5.2, it was really quick…

Sorry, not a duplicate, as I referenced exactly that article and already have installed the mentioned patch…

Alright, then please read documentation:
https://docs.zammad.org/en/latest/appendix/configure-env-vars.html

Did something significantly change between 5.0 and 5.2 that I may need to adjust WEB_CONCURRENCY or so? Just asking, because it was nice and fast before…

I fiddled around with WEB_CONCURRENCY. 4 works quite good , the zammad deployment is quick and snappy again!
Thanks for a great piece of open source software!
