<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Alan,</div><div><br></div><div>My guess is that your performance degradation was due to lack of disk space on your VM. Restarting archivesspace resets the logfile in logs/archivesspace.log. I've seen ours get to a couple of GBs in size and if there's not enough disk space on the system to accommodate it things will definitely slow down. The downside to simply restarting archivesspace is that it'll clobber the log as it comes up. If you want to save the old log data you'll need to shut down, move the old log out of the way and then start archivesspace.</div><div><br></div><div>Flannon</div><div><br></div><div>Flannon Jackson</div><div>Senior DevOps Engineer</div><div>Digital Library Technology Services<br></div><div><a href="mailto:flannon@nyu.edu">flannon@nyu.edu</a><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Feb 22, 2019 at 9:31 AM Huebschen, Alan M <<a href="mailto:ahueb2@uis.edu">ahueb2@uis.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125)">I’m not sure if your problems are the same as mine, but I had to address a similar issue recently. Our instance of AS currently runs on a virtual machine with 4gb of ram and after about a month of uptime I got
a complaint from our Archives about serious slow-downs. All that was needed to remedy this was restarting the AS service, something like “systemctl restart Archivesspace” in the server environment. This quickly freed up memory that was slowly being consumed
over time, so in order to do this on a regular basis I set up a cron job that automatically restarts the AS service once per week in the middle of the night when nobody is using the service.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I know our installations will all be different which will impact speed, but I’m very curious about the speed of processing that folks are experiencing. Even the most basic tasks (like clicking on a record group/collection record to open
it, seems to take a bit to perform it. My system (v.2.4.1 in the process of updating to 2.5.1) is on a dedicated cloud server and I know it can be “ramped up” to generate more speed/power, I just need some stats/data to convince IT that the performance I’m
seeing is “below par.”<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Am I just being a big impatient or are other people seeing slow speeds as well? Has anyone done any “time trials” for basic processes? Has anyone done “time trials” for importing with the Harvard plug in?
