For me uploads are fine but totally unable to report, scheduler time out

How many tasks are you trying to report?

Uploads okay here. Scheduler requests okay when I'm on NNT. When I request work, 3 of 4 time out, then I get lost tasks when I do connect.

I understand and expect things to be poor after a multi-day-long outage, but past few days have been atrocious. Normal experience for me is periods of downloads < 1 KiB/s which often stall after a minute or so, alternating with (lesser) periods of downloads ~15 KiB/s. Uploads and scheduler responses consistently speedy.

In contrast, the past few days have been long periods where downloads stall after less than one second and even uploads stalling too, plus scheduler requests hitting time-outs regularly. The only counterpart is brief periods where hosts might get downloads at ~30 KiB/s, but with scheduler responses so rare, those downloads don't do enough anyway.

Any ideas what's going on this time around? As I said, I understand that post-outage recovery takes a while, but the few days after the outage were actually better than they have been recently. Judging from the countries of the recent posters, the network issues don't seem to be location-specific.

Edit: I experience what Fred remarked about the lost tasks as well: when scheduler responses do make it back, it's usually with lost tasks that never made it the first time.

Uploade are slow or take several tries
Scheduler requests time out and try again and time out etc.....
Reporting worn fails for the last six hours (cc_config set at 250)
Three hours of work left

Uploads and scheduler requests go thru from here OK as far as I can tell from the few I had/needed today. But downloads are quite impossible, with or without a proxy between.

+1

although ive had two or three occasions where the scheduler requests hung with nnt as well.

lowered cache settings to 2 days but didnt seem to help.

ive noticed these issues only on the machines with gpu work. all my machines with only cpu work schedule fine.

uploads ok with the occasional timeout/retry.

downloads are pretty good depending on the dl server per request (as already known).

Other than the usual giving downloads a nudge it's been plain sailing at this end.

Cheers.

My uneducated guess is database problems, and Scheduler can't get a fast response when work is requested. The startup after the outage was ragged, and they had to disable the replica. So master is running everything - even forums are sluggish at times - I had a lag just starting this post. If it is the database, expect some downtime - hope they don't wait until Tuesday.

That doesn't explain what looks like intermittent upload/download issues. I haven't seen any, but there are plenty of reports. Any other guesses?

Lucky you! Probably not location-specific, then, just luck of the draw.

Is this a transatlantic thing? I am having the same sort of problem. One time work pours in and out at incredible speed, then slows to a crawl, timing out again and again.

Looks fine now, but I had two failed uploads in the 0730-0800utc time period. They both re-tried about 5 times before making it up to a 2+ hour back-off and then went through around 1100utc.

Just had a look at cricket - bits out has dropped to the bottom line, so perhaps there's a problem after all?

Someone could be kicking something. It's 08:40 Monday Berkeley time, the server status page is blank and the crickets have flatlined.

T.A.

Is anyone else having issue reporting/uploading results this morning? All 4 of my boxes can get anything uploaded/reported right now.

Thanks!

The Cricket graphs have just dropped off.
Being Monday morning at about 9:00am in Berkeley, somebody probably just got into the lab and is kicking some tires to reboot things.

Have you tried <max_tasks_reported>100</max_tasks_reported> in your cc_config.xml file?
