[ovirt-users] audit_log table performance tuning

[Marina Kalinin]

Hi,

Any suggestions or maybe already available features in the pipeline for tuning the database, and specifically the audit_log table? 

The problem today is that with multiple applications accessing the engine through the RestAPI, especially deployments with CloudForms, create huge amount of login records in the audit_table. Which, in turns, consumes most of the available memory on the machine running the engine and the database and results in a terrible performance of engine and inaccessible Web UI.

The solution today is to delete those records from the table [1]:
=> delete from audit_log where message like '%logged%';


Are there any current tunings we can apply to the database? 
And if not - do we have any RFEs on limiting the records entered to the database or a way to delete/filter those records somehow from the WebUI?
All I could find was RFE#1120659 [2], but it does not describe the exact issue.
