Hello,

On a 3.6.5 DC, I'm trying to figure out how many VMs there are, using
two methods :

_*Python SDK :*_

*from ovirtsdk.xml import params
from ovirtsdk.api import API
api = API(url='https://engine.fqdn/ovirt-engine/api',
username='admin@internal', password='xxx', insecure=True)
print len(api.vms.list())*

time ./getMvm.py
62

real    0m23.016s
user    0m22.288s
sys    0m0.054s


_*REST :*_

*time curl -H "Version: 3" -H "Prefer: persistent-auth" -H "Filter:
false" -H "Accept: application/xml" -H "Content-Type: application/xml"
-k -u 'admin@internal:xxx' https://***engine.fqdn*/ovirt-engine/api/vms*

(Then grep or anything that would get the values from the xml returned.)

real    0m0.383s
user    0m0.036s
sys    0m0.038s


I am a beginner in both methods, but I would prefer play with Python.
I'm very surprised to have to wait more than 20 seconds to get an answer.
Looking at the engine log, I see that the authentication part is
finished after say 3 seconds, then 20 seconds with absolutely no error
message, no CPU load, no RAM burst, no nothing.
On the SPM, exactly triple null nothing nada niet void is obviously
explaining such a delay.

I'm wondering if this super hyper sluggishness is somewhat related to
the GUI global slowness I'm experiencing like other users since we left
3.2.x, and I would love that some oVirt ninja uses the comparison above
to tell what parts in oVirt is used or not that could explain such a
difference (database, access to SPM, LVM, network access, whatever...)

The performance problem is inside version 3 of the Python SDK. That is
one of the reasons that we had to do a new version of the Python SDK for
version 4 of the engine. If you are using version 4 of the engine then
you can use version 4 of the SDK:

  https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine-sdk/tree/master/sdk

https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine-sdk/blob/master/sdk/examples/list_vms.py

It should be much faster. Would be nice if you can repeat your test and
report the results.


Hello Juan,

Indeed, you were right. I tried the same from a recent server with a recent SDK, and I let you have a look :

# rpm -q python-ovirt-engine-sdk4
python-ovirt-engine-sdk4-4.0.1-1.el7.centos.x86_64

# time ./getMvm.py
62

real    0m1.004s
user    0m0.234s
sys     0m0.031s

And repeating the same test gives a very decent average, so thank you.
