No, it's a bottleneck issue on my end. Although the numbers of mirrors we have is sufficient to cope with the number of YUM/DNF updates we get, there is a bottleneck further upstream where we gather the statistics. The index.php on updates.blueonyx.it makes a callback to our Matomo/Piwik instance on stats.blueonyx.it to count the mirror access by platform and general geographical origin. Sadly something seems to have changed in Matomo and this tiny transaction now causes frequent timeouts. Especially when a lot of YUM updates happen simultaneously. It's a bitch to troubleshoot and for the last couple of weeks I try to be around whenever a tsunami of update requests from Japan comes in so that I can apply some tweaks and see if that helps. It already got a bit better due to applied tweaks, but it's not quite yet where I want it to be. -- With best regards Michael Stauber _______________________________________________ Blueonyx mailing list Blueonyx@mail.blueonyx.it http://mail.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx
