8.5.1 Slow Website

We just upgraded from 8.1(Appmon, Netflow) to 8.5.1(Appmon,Netflow,VoIPmon) and aside from some bumps with pass-through authentication, it went well. Now the website is slow, 5-15 seconds to go from summary to detail view and not just the first time as compared to 1-3 seconds with 8.1. The hardware/network are the same, anyone else experencing issues like this?

See anything unusual in your logs?

That sounds like a loaded question, I assume your asking about IIS logs, not being an IIS guy, nothing looks too different pre and post upgrade.

I would definitely say that the website access in 8.5.1 is slower than in 8.1.

Mark or Denny,

There seems to be a number of people in this (and other) posts who have noted a significant difference in web performance for 8.5.1. I understand that there were some major changes to the web site, so have you been able to determine if there is a particular pattern associated with those who have problems, as opposed to those who don't? Are there certain resources that seem to be more problematic than others? Is there anything people can look for in general within their specific environments? Does a beefier web server help, and should this be a consideration before moving to this release?

We are planning to upgrade, but web performance is a big consideration for us.

Thanks...

We have a rather large number of devices and it takes about 25 seconds to load our main page with the all nodes resource. I would really like to see some improvement in the way this page loads. It would greatly improve other employees perception of Orion.

However, we actually saw a slight improvement in the page load time when we upgraded from 8.1 to 8.5.1.

I'm glad to know that we are not alone. We upgraded our Orion App and the Wireless Module from v8.1 to v8.5.1 this past Tuesday and immediately after the upgrade we noticed that the website was performing much slower than when we were using version v8.1.

In addition we notice that Stopping the NetPerfMon Service takes much longer that with v8.1 too.

The pages that take the longest to load are:

Orion Network Summary

Wireless Network Summary

Interface Details

We too have noticed a big difference in response times upgrading from 8.1 to 8.5.1. In fact, our Network Summary page times out frequently when refreshing. Also, when clicking on a node, it will timeout frequently as well. If I could go back to 8.1 I would. I have opened a ticket with SolarWinds and apparently there is a bug that the developers are working that may address this issue, but I cannot say for sure.

We know that the All Nodes resource is slow, and the next SP will have a fix for that problem . I recommend that you try detaching each resource and watching it load. That will tell you which ones are slow and which ones are fast. Post the slow ones, and we'll work on speeding those up.

Just for the record, we're building a fresh installation of Orion 8.5.1 in our production data center, and so far we have not had any real issues with website performance in general. Generally speaking, there doesn't seem to be any difference in web performance for any of our views, as compared with our experiences with 7.8.5. The only web performance issue we've seen is with the time it takes to return results from the "Search Nodes" and "Search Interfaces" resources.

There are some other issues that have popped up, but I currently have an open case to see if we can get those ironed out. I'll create a new post covering the other issues once we either get them resolved, or hit a dead end.
