Problem:

Foreman API call after upgrade now takes over 8 seconds which previously was under 1 second, I’m not sure if it’s isolated to the fact_values endpoint, yet.

@Tomer Brisker asked me to link a ref to another ticket which he thinks is the cause of this issue: https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/21871

Expected outcome:

Previous releases (1.16.*) returned the results in under 1 second

I had some issues getting SQL debug logging working - but when I did, I got this in the logs ( I snipped the list of IDs in the last query as it was many, many lines!):
