Hello together, I’ve got a performance issue with my project, where the DB performance is going down for what ever reason. The activity monitor of OSX shows me the following numbers about the mserver5-process: The CPU usage is very low (15-25% of one core!), the IO traffic on my ssd is fair (about 10-40 MB/s), but the speed slows down. I’ve had a look in the merovingian.log, but there’s only the connection shown. For the first 5000 messages, the CPU usage of mserver5 was about 70-110% - why is it going down?… How could I analyze, why the database performance is going down? Is it possible, that there is an issue with the JDBC-driver, that the performance is decreasing? I attache a log file where you can see that the performance is quite good for some time, but then goes down for whatever reason. 18:40:46 [main] INFO ModelPersistenceTest - Finished BatchInsert of 200 message in 15.711 seconds - totally inserted 5200 messages 18:40:46 [main] INFO ModelPersistenceTest - Starting Batch-Insert for of 200 message 18:41:03 [main] INFO ModelPersistenceTest - Finished BatchInsert of 200 message in 17.189 seconds - totally inserted 5400 messages 18:41:03 [main] INFO ModelPersistenceTest - Starting Batch-Insert for of 200 message 18:41:27 [main] INFO ModelPersistenceTest - Finished BatchInsert of 200 message in 23.834 seconds - totally inserted 5600 messages 18:41:27 [main] INFO ModelPersistenceTest - Starting Batch-Insert for of 200 message 18:42:19 [main] INFO ModelPersistenceTest - Finished BatchInsert of 200 message in 52.13 seconds - totally inserted 5800 messages 18:42:19 [main] INFO ModelPersistenceTest - Starting Batch-Insert for of 200 message 18:43:09 [main] INFO ModelPersistenceTest - Finished BatchInsert of 200 message in 49.892 seconds - totally inserted 6000 messages 18:43:09 [main] INFO ModelPersistenceTest - Starting Batch-Insert for of 200 message 18:43:59 [main] INFO ModelPersistenceTest - Finished BatchInsert of 200 message in 49.786 seconds - totally inserted 6200 messages 18:43:59 [main] INFO ModelPersistenceTest - Starting Batch-Insert for of 200 message 18:45:31 [main] INFO ModelPersistenceTest - Finished BatchInsert of 200 message in 92.389 seconds - totally inserted 6400 messages 18:45:31 [main] INFO ModelPersistenceTest - Starting Batch-Insert for of 200 message 18:47:26 [main] INFO ModelPersistenceTest - Finished BatchInsert of 200 message in 114.412 seconds - totally inserted 6600 messages 18:47:26 [main] INFO ModelPersistenceTest - Starting Batch-Insert for of 200 message 18:49:24 [main] INFO ModelPersistenceTest - Finished BatchInsert of 200 message in 118.324 seconds - totally inserted 6800 messages One message results in 10-50 insert statements in different tables and the 200 messages are processed in one transaction. The absolute performance isn’t nice, but that is another topic – I’ve read about "copy into“ and that kind of stuff – but that gonna be part in a later optimization. I tried to find out, if there is a long running process, but „select * from sys.queue;“ didn’t show me anything of interest – the result shows only this select. Is there a way to gather some statistics about executed queries and their runtime? Or about blocking resources… Thanks in advance for bringing any light in the black box :) Best regards, Alex
