Hi,

Before to deploy Mahara in production we make somes tests. One of this test is performance test with Jmeter during 30 min.

- first wave we use 25 users concurrency, it's sound good
- seconde wave we use 125 users in concurrency and it's seems bad.

We can compare to an older version 17.04 where the performace was good.

With 18.10 performances are not good, we get response time between 1600 ms and 6400 ms (sometimes 9600 ms for login page). Comparatively with 17.04 where reponses times was under 1300 ms.

We have make some upgrade (php 7.2 and mysql 5.7) and our infrastructure is strong. We plan to investigate in the reason why we get somes bad results.

I just want to know if others people makes some Jmeter's tests and if performance soudns good.

Thank you

Hi Aurelien,

Thank you for testing Mahara with JMeter. What sort of tests are you running? I suspect it's related to some long queries, maybe even the one mentioned by Jawyei?

Cheers

Hi Aurelien,

Thank you for having posted your test script. It would be good to know what you find out where the bottleneck is.

Thank you
