Re: [ovirt-users] Delay difference between queries (Python vs REST)

Hello, On a 3.6.5 DC, I'm trying to figure out how many VMs there are, using two methods : _*Python SDK :*_ *from ovirtsdk.xml import params from ovirtsdk.api import API api = API(url='https://engine.fqdn/ovirt-engine/api', username='admin@internal', password='xxx', insecure=True) print len(api.vms.list())* time ./getMvm.py 62 real 0m23.016s user 0m22.288s sys 0m0.054s _*REST :*_ *time curl -H "Version: 3" -H "Prefer: persistent-auth" -H "Filter: false" -H "Accept: application/xml" -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -k -u 'admin@internal:xxx' https://***engine.fqdn*/ovirt-engine/api/vms* (Then grep or anything that would get the values from the xml returned.) real 0m0.383s user 0m0.036s sys 0m0.038s I am a beginner in both methods, but I would prefer play with Python. I'm very surprised to have to wait more than 20 seconds to get an answer. Looking at the engine log, I see that the authentication part is finished after say 3 seconds, then 20 seconds with absolutely no error message, no CPU load, no RAM burst, no nothing. On the SPM, exactly triple null nothing nada niet void is obviously explaining such a delay. I'm wondering if this super hyper sluggishness is somewhat related to the GUI global slowness I'm experiencing like other users since we left 3.2.x, and I would love that some oVirt ninja uses the comparison above to tell what parts in oVirt is used or not that could explain such a difference (database, access to SPM, LVM, network access, whatever...) -- Nicolas ECARNOT
