Feature request: Make pound Threads variable parametric

[ismailyenigul]

From https://linux.die.net/man/8/pound

Threads nnn
How many worker threads Pound should use. Default: 128. Tune this parameter to improve performance.
If you set it too high, Pound will use a lot memory, and some CPU will be wasted on context switches. 
If you set it too low requests may be served with some delay. Experiment to find the optimal value for your installation.

Zevenet UI(Community edition 5.0.2) does not provide an option to change Threads variable for HTTPS Farms. Under high traffic, default value 128 is not enough. We have to update limits.conf to have more than 1024 max open files and increase add Threads value to pounds config in /usr/local/zevenet/config

That would be great if you can make this variable set/editable over FARM settings.

Thanks

Zevenet 5.10 doesn't use pound anymore, it uses zproxy instead, faster and improved reverse proxy developed by ZEVENET dev team. Thanks El lun., 21 dic. 2020 13:54, ismail yenigul <[email protected]> escribió:

Thanks for your prompt reply.
Then my question is same for zproxy. Does zevenet 5.10 supports updating Threads parameter of zproxy on UI?
Best regards

[emiliocampos-zevenet]

Hi, zproxy is not developed in the concept of the thread but events, so this parameter doesn't make sense in this new feature. Regards El lun, 21 dic 2020 a las 15:00, ismail yenigul (<[email protected]>) escribió:

Hi
I see something about threads at
https://github.com/zevenet/zproxy/blob/3fcf8055781c4da139e2b05e4041ebc6a1d3e704/src/config/config.cpp#L88
and https://github.com/zevenet/zproxy/blob/master/docs/zproxy.8#L222
anyway,
We experienced connection timeouts with pounds when we have around 500 total connections(IDLE,ESTABLISHED etc)
and I fixed the problem by setting threads to 1024.
In zproxy, is there any parameter to set max connections limit?

[emiliocampos-zevenet]

Hi Ismail, there is not any parameter for that purpose in zproxy. Thanks El lun, 21 dic 2020 a las 16:05, ismail yenigul (<[email protected]>) escribió:

Hi,

Does it mean that no need to configure any settings to increase max connections(maybe it is determined automatically)? Or you don't support it yet in zproxy?
What is the maximum concurrent connection(HTTPS) does zproxy support?

[emiliocampos-zevenet]

No, you don't need to change any parameter to manage threads as zproxy doesn't manage threads but events. On the other hand, related to the number of concurrent connections, it is related to your app mostly, anyway have a look at this benchmark in order to give you an idea. https://github.com/zevenet/zproxy/tree/master/benchmark Thanks!
