Tranquil IT Forum

Good morning,

We are experiencing an issue with the "cleanup_delete_non_assigned_kb" function of WUA which is run every night around 3am and is overloading our server.

We get the same effect if we use the "Clear unaffected updates" button in the console.

Our KB database represents 183GB and our server is relatively robust nonetheless.

We are on version 2.6.1.17705, but I have not seen a fix for this problem in later versions.

Hi Rémi,

there is indeed an issue with the way the SQL cleanup query is written. I'm opening an internal ticket; we'll look into it quickly.

Best regards,

Denis

Thank you Denis, I await your feedback on the fix.

Hello Denis,

We really need a quick fix, or at the very least, to be told how to disable this purging function every night at 3am because we end up with a server down almost every other morning.

Hello,

do you have any idea when this patch will be released?

Thank you very much,

Rémy

Hi Rémi,

it's been fixed in master/2.7 (the next major release is coming soon ). We still need to backport it to 2.6.1, and that will be in the next release.

We'll keep you posted.

Denis

Hello Denis,

Thank you for the feedback, I'm eagerly awaiting the release.
