Description

Hi,

My foreman 1.4.1 system consumes all available memory 8GB and start swapping and that in turn leads to Foreman respond slowly.
I think that all the memory is consumed when an search on an puppet module is triggered on the puppet classes page.
when doing a search on an puppet module no result is shown even after up to 20 min.

Doing an strace on the process hogging all memory just shows:
  1. strace -p 20055
    Process 20055 attached - interrupt to quit
    select(10, [0 9], NULL, NULL, NULL
Below is the output from passenger-memory-stats, the private memory usage is extremely high:

This occur when an free text search is performed. I can see in the production.log that LIMIT 20 and ORDER BY puppetclasses.name is used on the db query and we have 1200+ puppet modules. searching on an module starting with a e.g apache goes relative fast but if i search on e.g pulp the search query use all available memory on the system and foreman freeze. This foreman installation has 100+ users so free text searches on modules will occur and every time it's done it hangs the foreman server.

I can also see that it takes ~80 Sec to retrieve 20 rows and the time is increasing per every 20 rows retrieved and since we have 1200+ rows the search query takes ~60+ min, if not the memory runs out first.

Hello,

are you able to measure how fast is the query when you paste it to the SQL server directly (e.g. without Rails and ActiveRecord involved)?

In other words, is this Rails bug/leak or not optimized SQL?

Hello,

Seems like an Rails bug/leak:

you can use EXPLAIN before the select to get more info where its spending time, but i agree.
