Re: Issue with index in OpenLDAP?

["External Mathieu DEDECKER (CAMPUS)" <external.z02mdebe@oxylane.com>]

I will read the man page in order to have more informations about the command.

I tried to reindex all the index of the database with the slapindex command, but I allways the same behaviour:

Request1: cardnumber=2098001010034  (less than 1sec)
Request2: cardnumber=2090389917486  (nearly 20 sec).

Other .bdb files size have been updated, but my "cardnumber.bdb" has still the same size.

Mathieu

Hi Mathieu,

If you read the slapindex man page, it is possibly to just recreate a specific index file (for situations like this), rather than generating all of them.

Hello Quanah,

First I would like to thank you for your answer.

Indeed, I also think that the "cardnumber" index is somehow corrupted.
His size is to small in comparison to other indexes

We suppressed all existing index and Used slapindex to re-create them all.

It's undergoing.

I will keep you informed about the solution.

Best Regards,

Mathieu

Hi @All,

We meet a performance problem with our OpenLDAP.

We think that we face a problem with the index of the database, and we
think that the problem can be resolve by tunning the config (but not
sure).

We would like to be sure that our configuration is correct, in order to
confirm if we are on a wrong track or not.

[Description]

We have an attribute (cardNumber) which is indexed.

When we request the indexed attribute (cardNumber) with an LDAP Client
(Ldapbrowser), we have either fast or very long response time.

For the long response time, the CPU of the server hits 100%.

For example:

Request1: cardnumber=2098001010034  (less than 1sec)
Request2: cardnumber=2090389917486  (nearly 20 sec).

By checking the hit ratio of the attribute, we can see that cache is
correctly used (97%).


It sounds like you added an index to cardnumber after there was already
data for cardnumber in your database, and didn't run slapindex for that
attribute.  Alternatively, your cardnumber.bdb file is corrupted.
