Where does tmpdir point to on the production server? is that also pointing at 
/tmp which is on disk? and are the disk architectures the same type and same 
speed? It definitely sounds like a disk I/O issue.

What version of MySQL is the production server running? What happens if you use 
the same my.cnf without making any unnecessary changes to it? (tweaking memory 
parameters can cause all sorts of I/O upsets if they aren't balanced correctly 
- regardless of how much RAM you have).

Have a look at https://github.com/rackerhacker/MySQLTuner-perl - it's a perl 
script which will analyse your MySQL installation and give pointers for 
increased performance and stability.

You say you have customised the my.cnf configuration, how does that compare 
with the production server, and has the production server been optimised? if it 
has then there is no guarantee the optimised configuration will work the same 
on a different server. Where is the 'tmpdir' variable pointing to? is that 
on-disk filesystem or memory?

Are the spec's of the servers the same? for disk I/O what type of disks are the 
production servers using and what is the new server? SAS/SATA?

Yes this is possible, use Kernel::System::Auth:LDAP for agents and
Kernel::System::CustomerAuth::LDAP for customer. You can also specifiy
multiple
ADs for customer.

I saved my history with the change from local to ldap agents. As far as
your login and
e-mail addresses still remain unchanged there shouldn't be a problem.

[otrs] Changing auth type from local to ldap for agents

2012-02-14 Thread Ugo Bellavance

Hi,

I'm using OTRS only internally, so I use ldap backend for clients, but 
at first I didn't know if it would cause problem with agents so the auth 
for agent is local.


I have a few questions about the possible transition to ldap auth for 
agents.


- Can an agent be a customer as well if using the same AD for auth?  Of 
course, I guess that agents would be in an extra AD group compared to 
the users.


- Will I lose agent history or will I break something if I go with ldap 
auth instead of local eventually? The usernames and e-mail addresses are 
the same.


Thanks,

Ugo

[otrs] strange performance problems migrating otrs from a server to another one

What comes to eyes is the copying to tmp table that take all the time… when
I runt this query I also took an iostat on the server (local disks) and the
disk is 90% used with few iostat % (something like 1-5%) and 5-7MB/s reads…

Now, on the production server I don’t have any kind of disk usage… looks
like its all in memory…

Can anyone help me on this performace issue ? I don’t know how to reproduce
the performances of the production server on this new one.

Best regards,

I will give it a go next chance I get.
 
It seemed to happen a lot in cronjobs.
It also seemed to happen, when I opened a ticket from the Dashbord or
Ticket overview (in which case I also got a 500 error, as far as I
recall).
As far as I can tell, the changes to the database should not be able to
cause the issue, so most likely it is somewhere in the code...
 
I will report back when I have tried these suggestions.

Hi there,
You could easily rename the installed version of YAML and then perl
will use your version.
If you cannot find the problem, please post a detailed bug report with
files that I can look at and I will try and reproduce the problem.
thanks,
mike

You don't mention which kind of issues you are experiencing, so it
would be very difficult to tell whether or not YAML causes these. We
bundle some Perl modules in Kernel/cpan-lib for two reasons: you'll
have to install less dependencies if you will set up OTRS, and second,
we can control the version that OTRS uses; we do not need to bother
about distribution X shipping version 0.1 and distribution Y shipping
with version 0.9 of the same module; it gives us more control.

Apart from that, typically OTRS will always use the version in
Kernel/cpan-lib, even if you have installed a different version on
your system using CPAN, yum or apt-get. Also, the rest of your system
(everything else but OTRS) will not use these modules, so you will not
have to worry that OTRS will break the rest of your system by shipping
its own set of libraries.

So that's why I think it would be very unlikely that the YAML version
you installed via CPAN and the version you'll get with OTRS will
actually cause issues here. Of course, it *could* be that somewhere in
the OTRS code we don't properly check Kernel/cpan-lib before searching
the rest of the system, but again, that would be unlikely I think.

Also, the YAML code is only used in few places; for instance in saving
the configuration for the new OTRS web services. So if you can share
the error message you ran in to, maybe we can help you pin-point the
exact cause.
