SlimTimer Issues

Posted by Richard White Mon, 25 Jun 2007 15:44:00 GMT

We’ve been experiencing some heavy performance issues for the last hour starting at about 15:00 GMT (Monday 25th). You may see extended loading times or browser timeouts. We’re working feverishly to get this worked out and will keep you posted.

Update: The issues we were having resolved themselves shortly after this post went up. We’re setting up extra monitoring to give us more resolution should this problem crop up again. I am happy to report that our existing monitoring tools noticed the problem and were able to get us out of bed in time to address it.

    I really enjoy your tool. As soon as I can create a virtual team and we can assign each other jobs, I’ll be as happy as larry! Keep up the good work!

    Thanks for keeping on top of things. I did not notice any service interruption, and it was fine when I was running reports later that afternoon.

    In general, everything is running very smoothly. The only time that it seems to lag a bit is while querying for tags when you click on Some for Time Entries on the report page. You might want to look into some sort of caching for that data.

    @peter: You can already assign tasks to coworkers. Go to ‘Manage Tasks’ and you can edit a task or shared it with coworkers by their email.
    @mike: Yeah retrieving all the tags is a very expensive call due to the distributed nature of tags (they’re attached to a lot of objects). We might have to build some denormalized reporting tables for them in the future.
