[SAC] Network switch failure

FYI - PEER1 discovered and rectified a network switch failure during night - just so you know it wasn’t our fault :slight_smile:

I would create a ticket for this in Trac but I can't...

We have been getting permissions errors trying to update tickets for Fusion (and now also for the main osgeo Trac instance)

Clicking on the login link, often times does nothing, other times appears like you are logged in but then won't accept updates to tickets.

Can someone look into this please?

Thanks,

The first time I tried to update that ticket I got an error:

TICKET_APPEND privileges are required to perform this operation

then I tried again and the update went through.

It appears to be something intermittent, sometimes it says I am logged in, other times the login link appears.

I'd recommend:
* Clearing your cache
* Removing your cookies for trac.osgeo.org
* Closing browser
* Opening browser
* Logging in

And see if that improves the behavior. Trac uses a combination of cookies
and basic auth for login detection, so it's possible this willc cuase trac
to 'wake up' as to your state.

Tried doing those things listed below and it seemed to help initially but now it's back to the intermittent logged in/logged out behaviour. It's happening for both FF3 and IE7, and for others in our office.

It just took me 10 tries to login to the trac.osgeo.org/fusion instance with safari. I also tried with firefox (cleared cache and cookies) and same thing, multiple tries before finally logging in.

Guys,

I got an inordinate number of messages from Daniels web service checker
for stuff on osgeo1 overnight. I think we need to keep a closer eye on
the system and try to work out what is dragging it to it's knees again.

I'll try to stay logged in today and do a bit of monitoring. Other eyes
also welcome.

Best regards,

Already did that for a while today and noticed quite a few Apache and
Postfix processes (load between 20 and 24) - nothing which made me feel
surprised. To my opinion the web service checker is a bit too sensitive
and reports unavailability when the system is simply responding a bit
more slowly than usual.

They have a local GIS conference in Germany, bigger public focus is
probably adding to the usual load.

That's quite possible, it's just a simple script that uses "wget -T 5 ..." and if it fails the first time (i.e. no response in 5 seconds) then it waits 30 seconds and tries again. If it fails both times then it sends the error notice.

I have modified the script to increase the timeout from 5 to 15 seconds (i.e. "wget -T 15 ..."), let's see if that helps. Note that this just a legacy script that we had, and we use better alternatives to monitor servers these days such as Nagios, so I could disable the script if it creates too much noise.

I am finding that the fusion trac is almost, but not quite entirely, unusable. It usually takes more than one attempt to log in successfully. Once it lets me log, it often fails to let me save changes to a ticket by logging me out again and reporting unauthorized access. This is quite random, there is no apparent pattern - sometimes it works first try, most of the time I have to try several times before it will work.

Cheers

The error message trac is giving is:

This error message is happening more frequently in the past two days, it
appears.

Perhaps this means the ldap server should be restarted. I've gone ahead
and done that, in case the ldap server was causing the problem.

Can you let me know if this seems to improve the behavior any?

OpenLDAP/BDB servers usually don't gain much from getting restarted. If
they have a corrupt database due to a bad system crash, a restart still
won't cure such a case. Otherwise they work pretty reliably. BUT they
might get affected by a high system load or disk bandwidth/latency
trouble - in this case a restart doesn't cure either :wink:

I agree with both of these. The problems are intermittent enough that I'm
sort of surprised by them at all, though; we certainly have had periods
of high load that are not showing in these errors, so I'm not entirely
sure what else could be causing it.

Essentially, I'm grasping at straws, and I know it, but since I'm not
having problems, I can't think of what else to do/change.

If I load a ticket report when logged in and then open a ticket in another tab, the new tab always thinks I am not logged in. Almost seems like a cookie expiry problem?

I'm still seeing this error and it makes it really difficult to get work done. It happens for me with the MetaCRS, Fusion, and SAC Trac systems, i.e. any of the OSGeo Trac systems. Isn't anyone else affected by this? Anyone have any ideas?

The only people who are affected by it, so far as I can tell, are people
in the DM Solutions office. At this point, I don't really know what to
offer to help fix the situation.

Does the same thing happen with the OpenLayers trac interface?

I'm still seeing this error and it makes it really difficult to get work done. It happens for me with the MetaCRS, Fusion, and SAC Trac systems, i.e. any of the OSGeo Trac systems. Isn't anyone else affected by this? Anyone have any ideas?

Mike,

I have always had a few problems with OSGeo Trac's when working from home
which I have attributed to my peculiar ISP caching. In particular if I am
logged in, it seems I am auto-logged out after 10-15 minutes and I need to
re-login to do stuff. Also, often after an edit or adding an item to a ticket
I have to logout and login to force it to be refreshed properly. These
problems don't occur when I'm travelling and haven't gotten any worse lately.

Is this the sort of thing you are seeing?

It does make it a bother, but I do use OSGeo Trac's day-in and day-out
despite it. I am doubtful it has anything to do with how things are setup
at OSGeo.

Best regards,
