I'd probably need more details to understand what is seen, e.g. a graph over time of the CPU utilization of each core... I've been discussing with people in the past who were saying "not using" mistakingly :-) -----Original Message----- From: Ulrich Windl [mailto:Ulrich.Windl@rz.uni-regensburg.de] Sent: Thursday, July 2, 2020 7:15 AM To: daniel.zuniga(a)gmail.com; Maucci, Cyrille <cyrille.maucci(a)hpe.com>; quanah(a)symas.com Cc: openldap-technical(a)openldap.org Subject: Antw: [EXT] RE: slapd 2.4.44 Performance problems >>> "Maucci, Cyrille" <cyrille.maucci(a)hpe.com> schrieb am 01.07.2020 um >>> 18:06 in Nachricht <DF4PR8401MB0555595797F072395C494F66926C0(a)DF4PR8401MB0555.NAMPRD84.PROD.OUTLOOK.

Hi Quanah Here is the output of slapd -VVV command. I do see accesslog as static overlays.

slapd 2.4.44 Performance problems
by daniel.zuniga＠gmail.com 01 Jul '20

Hello, We are running OpenLDAP with a relatively small user base (15K users) and the server does not seem to be able to keep up with demand when there are multiple concurrent logins (20 users X 70 searches each) during user login. When users login to the server all cores in the server (8) run at 100% utilization, sometimes for as long as 20 minutes (depending on how many users are logging in concurrently). We have experimented and read and re-read the Tuning guidance but with very little success. We have tried increasing the number of available cores to slapd, but it does not use more than 8. We have also increased the number of threads from 16 to 32, but that also does not seem to have an effect nor does it seem to allow slapd to use all 16 cores (slapd seems limited to 8 cores regardless of the number of threads defined). The server has plenty of memory available and configured the db cache to use as much as in needs, but that does not seem to improve matters. Can you offer any guidance? Thanks.

Hi Quanah During the installation configure script was run like this ./configure --enable-bdb=no --enable-hdb=no --enable-ipv6=yes I just added following option to enable all overlays ./configure --enable-bdb=no --enable-hdb=no --enable-ipv6=yes *--enable-overlays=yes* Will this fix the problem?

Thank you for the pointers. I will setup delta syncrepl and test to verify if I see the issue or not.
