Long connect times to supervisor since upgrade

[jbrandibas]

Hello,

   I recently upgraded from 5.4 to 5.5.1 and one thing I have noticed is how long it takes to connect to the supervisor via the qubeGUI.  Previously the connection was nearly instantaneous, when I opened the GUI, the job and host list was available immediately.  After the upgrade, there is a variable amount of time (from 5 to 30 seconds) where it says connecting to supervisor..., then it will connect.  This isn't world ending, but it is pretty annoying.  Is there anything I can check to see what is going on?

Thanks,

The 5.5.1 GUI is most likely timing out when trying to directly connect to the MySQL database on the Supervisor.  You can disable this check by going into File->Preferences and unchecking the direct MySQL query (which was added in Qube 5.5).

If that does not improve launch performance, send an email to support <at> pipelinefx.com and we can look into it in more detail.

Whoa, I forgot to have the forum notify me when there was a reply to my post. 

I found my answer to this.  Turns out that prior to 5.5, the client didn't try and do a name lookup on the IP address of the supervisor.  With 5.5, when the GUI starts up, it tries to do a reverse lookup on the IP to get the name of the box first.  I tested this by adding the supervisor to my hosts list and it worked flawlessly.  I had our IT department add the supervisor to the local DNS server and all is good.

Hello~

I have a same problem also.

I think the answer will help me.

But I couldn't get some part's meaning.

Please help me if you don't mind.

=> With 5.5, when the GUI starts up, it tries to do a reverse lookup on the IP to get the name of the box first.

What is the box? I cannot understand the box's meaning.
and

=> by adding the supervisor to my hosts list

Where is the hosts list?

Do I have to use supervisor name instead of supervisor IP address?

Sorry for the question.

Thank you for your kindness.

Have great day.

Sorry, by "the box" I meant the supervisor node.  I have always only used the ip address when specifying the supervisor node in the configuration.

The hosts file is in a different location depending on what OS you are running.  In Windows it is in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

On OSX (and I believe Linux), it is in the /etc directory

The instructions for what to put in the file are in the file itself.

Here is mine (edited of course):

# Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp.

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.

# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

<insert IP here>    <insert name here>
127.0.0.1       localhost
::1             localhost
