8000 points to monit

User help

    Hi Guys,

    I was using successfully mango M2M using Derby database on Windows 7 (x64), but recently I have a need to monit around 8 000 points in real time (on BACnet).

    My problem is long delay in refreshing values on my graphical view. It take around 5 min, despiate of fact that I set 3min for saving database and 2 minutes in points specifications (INTERVAL) with 0.0 tolerance.

    I am fighting with it quite long time.

    1. I tried to increase cache dedicated to JAVA, my web browser, etc. Without success. Still I get information, that JAVA has Memory Cheap Overspace.
    2. I have 32GB of RAM to use and I still have use of maksimum 4GB of memory.

    I saw many topics related to switching Derby to MYSQL but I wasn't able to switch it to the MYSQL database. Even if I created empty MYSQL databse, Apache wasn't able to use MYSQL database.
    I would appreciate if you help me go through whole process of running MYSQL on my operating system to be able to run Mango with following changes in file env.properities:

    db.type=mysql
    db.url=~/../../bin/mangoDB2
    db.username=
    db.password=
    db.pool.maxActive=10
    db.pool.maxIdle=10
    db.update.log.dir=${catalina.base}/logs/

    convert.db.type=mysql
    convert.db.url=~/../../bin/mangoDB2
    convert.db.username=
    convert.db.password=

    grove.url=http://mango.serotoninsoftware.com/servlet

    If you have advices for me I would appreciate it!

    your env.properities configuration is wrong,if you want to convert derby to mysql,configuration is like:

    first creat one empty database in mysql,

    then.
    (new datase)
    db.type=mysql
    db.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/samedb
    db.username=
    db.password=
    db.pool.maxActive=10
    db.pool.maxIdle=10
    db.update.log.dir=${catalina.base}/logs/

    (old database)
    convert.db.type=derby
    convert.db.url=~/../../bin/mangoDB2
    convert.db.username=
    convert.db.password=

    Thank you very much for your response!

    And did you tried to increase values of parametres:
    db.pool.maxActive=10
    db.pool.maxIdle=10
    without loosing stability?
    If yes, did it cause improvement of Mango performance ?

    I suspect the database conversion will help a lot, and thanks for answering, hussam.

    In regards to the second part of the first post, you could investigate tuning the -X arguments passed to the JVM in your .bat or .sh start up script, such as your -Xms (Initial heap). I don't know that you're going to need to go into situations where Mango will require more than 4Gb with 8000pnts/2minutes, although this of course depends upon the configuration and use case.

    Thank you for your answer - phildunlap. According your advice - I also improved Java parameters -> following this tutorial: http://www.wikihow.com/Increase-Java-Memory-in-Windows-7. There is also option to set JAVA heap space in TomCat service, but despite all this actions, I still had JAVA cheap space after some time (even If I set 4GB).

    But I guess that should be set inside Mango to make it work, because It will be overwrite by constans inside Mango? Am I wrong?

    **phildunlap ** I have additional question :) .
    I was able to run Mango on MySQL but time from hitting Apache *startup * till the moment Mango starts, increased from couple of seconds to the 4 hours (database has 4.5GB)....
    Is it possible to fix it? I use Apache 7.0.

    A good thing to know is that you can put a file in your Mango root directory called "SAFE" and boot Mango with your datasources disabled. I suspect something in your configuration is causing an unnecessary delay, or your network is significantly slower than you're querying it. You could do some trial and error datasource/datapoint enabling.... or, have you investigated your mango/logs/ma.log? If so, swap debug-log4j.xml with log4j.xml in mango/classes for a boot, and let's have a look

    Something to know is that in a very near release of the Mango Automation Enterprise license we will offer a NoSQL database option that gives impressive performance for very large systems.

    Thank you very much for so prompt response! You have no idea how I appreciate it!

    mango.log doesn't show anything special - without error/warnings but still freezed on startup level... ( maybe it is just me being impatient.... :oops: )
    I decreased size of my database to the 1.2GB and problem is solved but question is how to avoid this kind of behavior - becouse in the future I will have - for sure huge database.

    Thank you for advice with disabling all of the sources - I guess it could possibly help. I I will find solution I will share with you :-).
