Detect New Causes of Database Slow Performance and Node Eviction

AHF now automatically detects new slow database performance problems, showing a summary of the problem, cause and resolution in Insights.

Since version 24.4, AHF has had the capability to detect issues and present a summary along with resolutions (Node Eviction Detection and Resolution). The Problem Summary page is accessible under the Detected Problems panel in Insights.

This release introduces the ability to automatically detect the following additional issues:

Slow database performance caused by:
  • Generic I/O error
Node evictions caused by:
  • Poorly sized UDP buffers
  • Misconfigured UP reassembly buffer parameters
To generate a diagnostic collection:
  1. Run tfactl diagcollect and follow the prompts to select the relevant issue.
  2. Transfer the resulting zip file to a machine with a browser.
  3. Open the Insights report and review the Detected Problems section for a detailed analysis.

This streamlined detection process simplifies troubleshooting and helps resolve performance issues faster.
