[pve-devel] [PATCH ha-manager 1/9] implement static service stats cache

Tue Sep 30 16:19:11 CEST 2025


As the HA Manager builds the static load scheduler, it queries the
services' static usage by reading and parsing the static guest configs
individually, which can take significant time with respect to how many
times recompute_online_node_usage(...) is called.

PVE::Cluster exposes an efficient interface to gather a set of
properties from one or all guest configs [0]. This is used here to build
a rather short-lived cache on every (re)initialization of the static
load scheduler.

The downside to this approach is if there are way more non-HA managed
guests in the cluster than HA-managed guests, which causes this to load
much more information than necessary. It also doesn't cache the default
values for the environment-specific static service usage, which causes
quite a bottleneck as well.

[0] pve-cluster cf1b19d (add get_guest_config_property IPCC method)

If the above mentioned downside is too large for some setups, we could
also just add a switch to enable/disable the static stats cache or
automatically figure out if it brings any benefits.. But I think this
will be good enough, especially with the latter patches making way fewer
calls to get_service_usage(...).
