How to troubleshoot a drift too big to show

krachynski

I have one rather large database (tiny by most standards, though) that is showing as having drifted to an unrecognized schema. Whenever I try to review it, my browser (Edge) idles for a long time then gives ma a blank page. It's rather like the schema change is just too big to display. I'd really like to accept this change because it was a valid one. Is there any kind of troubleshooting I can do to make that page actually succeed?

I had to delete my RavenDB instance as it got too big to even index. The service would spend a bunch of time trying and then just shutting down.

No? I'm still having trouble trying to acknowledge drift in one of my schemas. Any browser will fail as the server times out trying to render the output. I just checked for a new version and it seems that today's installer says I'm on the latest already.

Is it just reviewing the changes for one of the databases? Do other dbs/instances work fine?

krachynski

One specific database. I have several other pipelines that are working fine.

I'm having the same issue, DLM Dashboard 1.7.5.1116
It's only one of a dozen pipelines that fail to render.
Chrome is running hard on that tab, 36% CPU and 2gb of ram, then it eventually reloads.

One thing I noticed for this pipeline is that there's CLR objects that are trying to show a diff.

So I applied a filter to the pipeline to ignore Assembly changes, and after restarting the DLM Monitor services, I was able to acknowledge the drift.

I'll look at filters as well. Too bad they are all manual, though.

What "non manual" filters would you like? Apologies for the delay. Holidays got in the way.

krachynski

Well, you can't specify the filters in DLM Dashboard directly but have to load a file. That's the manual part. I'm not sure how to visually build that file.

Holidays kept me from worrying about this too much myself.

Ah, that makes sense. We use the same filters everywhere, and tend to just expect people to build one in Compare. Not sure we'd add a web based one, but being able to click on a "type" of object and add a filter quickly would be nice. Not sure I could get a developer to add this, but I'll ask.

krachynski

I'll poke around Compare then.
