Backend is slower after converting tables from MyISAM to InnoDB

[Orkun]

Today I have changed the DB Engine from MyISAM to InnoDB with the search and replace technique which is stated here at the end https://processwire.com/blog/posts/using-innodb-with-processwire/.

But somehow some pages where I have a pagefield (which holds a lot of pages) loads in 1 Minute when I try to edit the page in the backend.
Before the InnoDB change it loaded in 6-7 seconds when I edited.

What else do I need to consider when converting to InnoDB?

As far as I know the "innodb_buffer_pool_size" is set to 11.75 GB.

Hi,

you should consider adjusting  innodb_buffer_pool_instances  and  innodb_buffer_pool_size   :  

 

 

How much memory is available on the server ?

Hi @flydev ??

I had contact my host that they should set the innodb_buffer_pool_size to 70% of the available RAM
based on this article here https://mariadb.com/kb/en/converting-tables-from-myisam-to-innodb/.
I didn't heard anything from them yet.

Server RAM is 64GB

I also have done some code refactoring for the specific field which helped a little bit.

On the live site/live server I had this code inside a pagefield in the custom php code setting:

// Didn't use the has_parent selector here because it was buggy (not collecting all childrens)

$roots = wire('pages')->find("template=domain_root, id!=64098");
$pagearray = new PageArray();
foreach($roots as $root){
	$pagearray->import($root->find("template!=pikettdienst-overview|pikettdienst-category|pikett-date|calendar-item"));
}
$event->return = $pagearray;

The TTFB is 3.28s. PW Version is 2.7.3 and MyISAM Engine
DOMContentLoaded: 4.37 and Load: 4.40s

-----------------------

On the dev site/dev server I had refactored this code to this and placed it inside the /site/ready.php:

$wire->addHookAfter('InputfieldPage::getSelectablePages', function($event) {
    if($event->object->hasField == 'shareContent') {

            $rootIds = wire('pages')->findIDs("template=domain_root, id!=64098");
            $pagearray = new PageArray();
            if(wireCount($rootIds) > 0) {
                $rootIds = implode("|", $rootIds);
                $pagearray = wire('pages')->find("has_parent=$rootIds, template!=pikettdienst-overview|pikettdienst-category|pikett-date|calendar-item");
            }
            $event->return = $pagearray;

    }
});

The TTFB is 6.28s. PW Version is 3.0.165 and InnoDB Engine. Before refactoring the TTFB was 10s.
DOMContentLoaded: 11.85s and Load: 12.90s

When I deactive the AdminThemeUikit and use the classic one it loads faster.
DOMContentLoaded: 7.15s and Load: 7.20s but TTFB stays same.

Why is the AdminThemeUikit so much slower?

[flydev]

How much page contains the system ? 

You could try to spot the issue following these blog post : 

• https://www.chriscalender.com/using-show-processlist-and-mysqladmin-debug-output-in-conjunction-with-show-innodb-status/
• https://www.chriscalender.com/advanced-innodb-deadlock-troubleshooting-what-show-innodb-status-doesnt-tell-you-and-what-diagnostics-you-should-be-looking-at/ 

 

About AdminThemeUikit slowing down the system, i see no reason here.

Hi @flydev ??

When I execute SHOW FULL PROCESSLIST on phpmyadmin while opening the corresponding page with the sharecontent field the following Query is executed for the shareContent pagefield.

SELECT pages.id,pages.parent_id,pages.templates_id

When I execute the SQL in the SQL Tab in phpmyadmin it has 0.5476s to show me the results.

I have also executed SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS in phpmyadmin while opening the corresponding page but I don't really understand the log output:

Per second averages calculated from the last 1 seconds

Your data are sampled for 1 second, it's unusable. Try to visit your culprit page, wait its finish loading then run the SQL command. Post your result once you get sampled data for 20-40 seconds.
