Significant increase activity in MySQL after OJS 2x to 3x migration

  • Application Version: OJS 3.2.1.1

On September 3, we migrated OJS 2x to 3x. After that, users have constantly complained about the poor performance of the new version.
See how it is reading in the MySQL database after the migration. MySQL is the same as previously used in version 2x.
See that the increase takes place exactly on the day of release of the 3x version.

Can you help me?

Hi @taniabc,

OJS 3.x is a more complex application and some of its features (e.g. versioning) will simply take more resources. If you’re encountering performance problems, it would help to isolate areas where it’s causing problems. For example, is a particular area of the system seeming to demand more resources than is reasonable?

Hi @asmecher,
I appreciated your comments. What we did was:

  • increase the number of CPUs
  • Increase memory
    These not solved the problem.

I sent an email to all the Editors of the journals, notifying them that I was trying to find the problem. 15 minutes after my email, the server returned to its normal state:
After email:
MySql After email

Monthly consumption:
MySql After email 2

I’m trying to identify if a plugin has been disabled and if it was causing this excessive consumption.

Is it possible?

Hi @taniabc,

Yes, that’s possible – but it’s impossible to know from here.
