ui: speed up compute instance listing by yadvr · Pull Request #7911 · apache/cloudstack

yadvr · Aug 25, 2023

The default listVirtualMachinesMetrics APIs assumings details=all which isn't really used in the list view. By changing this to a subset of details, we can see gains upto 10x in listing speed in the UI. When moving to the resource/detail view of the UI, don't pass state or details so all the details of the instance are returned.

Possibly fixes #7910

In the screenshot below, we can see passing details=min, and other combinations show significant reduction in network time (from 300-400ms to 20-40ms)

@rohityadavcloud a Jenkins job has been kicked to build UI QA env. I'll keep you posted as I make progress.

ui/src/config/section/compute.js

-        var params = {}
+        var params = { details: 'servoff,tmpl,nics' }
        if (store.getters.metrics) {
-          params = { state: 'running' }


I've removed running as otherwise metrics doesn't return all VMs in the list. One can select VM state explicitly in the compute/instance page if they want.

just realised I can remove state from the params

ui/src/store/mutation-types.js

 export const DARK_MODE = 'DARK_MODE'
 export const VUE_VERSION = 'VUE_VERSION'
 export const CUSTOM_COLUMNS = 'CUSTOM_COLUMNS'
+export const RELOAD_ALL_PROJECTS = 'RELOAD_ALL_PROJECTS'


This fixes a warning

+        var params = { details: 'servoff,tmpl,nics' }
        if (store.getters.metrics) {
-          params = { state: 'running' }
+          params = { details: 'servoff,tmpl,nics,stats' }


VM stats in the API response can cause 5-10x delay compared to normal list API response

is tmpl needed in the details? or stats?

my concern is opposite to @DaanHoogland :-D
is 'servoff,tmpl,nics' or servoff,tmpl,nics,stats enough for UI ?

Yes, these are enough just for list view (table view); the stats are only needed when the metrics button is clicked. For the resource view, we delete the params.details, so by default details=all is used when listing a single VM.

@weizhouapache @DaanHoogland
I tested this again both as root admin and normal user account; for VMs and templates with and without resource icons; these are enough details to render the list view (table); when the user clicks any VM/instance, then we call the API remove the details and all details are listed/used in the resource view. While not ideal, this speeds up the listing.

great, thanks @rohityadavcloud
I will test it

+        delete params.state
+        delete params.details
+      }


@rohityadavcloud
can you explain why state and details are removed ?

all others look good

These are added by the router config, I'll ping you on that code; so we must remove if the keys exists for dataView (or resource view, when only one item is being listed such as the VM)

DaanHoogland

code looks good. I can't judge the performance gain in qa, but am relying on the author in this case.

      resourceType: 'UserVm',
      params: () => {
-        var params = {}
+        var params = { details: 'servoff,tmpl,nics' }


@weizhouapache because of these params, details and state...

      }

+      if (['listVirtualMachinesMetrics'].includes(this.apiName) && this.dataView) {
+        delete params.details


we remove the details as it may not be all, and set for the list view (tabular view)
