[users@httpd] Intermittent Performance Problem (waiting on "establishing secure connection")
Hi,
Apache 2.2
Tomcat 7
Windows Server 2008 64 bit
I have a problem that has been dogging me for weeks and seems to be getting
worse. I have Windows server and am fronting a Tomcat app server with
Apache (using AJP connector) and SSL. This configuration has been in place
for years without any issues.
Suddenly, somewhat randomly, during the day, users are experiencing long
waits for server response. The difficult part is that it's difficult to
reproduce. They'll say it's slow, I'll jump on, and everything is zippy
fast for me. However, I have been able to experience it a few times. When
I've seen it, I've seen the browser hang for a while (~10+ seconds) on
"establishing secure connection". For one small period of time, the wait
was so long, it was timing out on the client. When this was happening, I
jumped onto the server and hit the Tomcat app locally (directly to Tomcat,
bypassing Apache) and everything worked perfectly.. super fast. This makes
me think it's something on the Apache side or at least the AJP connector.
Also note that during all of these episodes, no hardware seems to be taxed.
Disk I/O, memory, CPU, etc all appear to be underutilized.
The only changes that have been made in recent months was that I have added
a few new apps to Tomcat. This has not really increased users though. But I
did have to added the additional ajp/proxy lines to the httpd.conf file and
modify the rewrite rules in the virtual host config.
In trying to troubleshoot this problem, I also upped the MaxClients which
didn't seem to have effect on anything.
Although it does *appear* to be load related. I could be wrong on that, but
it seems most complaint tend be during the busier times of the day.
My hunch is that this is SSL related, but I really don't know. I've
included the results from the server-status below... this was from one of
those moments that it hung on "establishing secure connection" for a bit.
I don't see anything obvious in it... but maybe someone here will.
Any ideas?
Thanks!!!
