Optimizing the performance of the enhance panel.

DracoBlue

When I see new features being introduced all the time. How does that align with optimization? Does the panel have any performance optimization? I'm keen on maximizing performance.

So far I've only been able to tune the database for performance. Which is great because it's critical.

Currently no way of optimizing Apache. Like if we find and update Apache conf file it will get wiped during next updates, so we're limited by whatever defaults are running.

The UI allows for customizing php-fpm and also customizing ModSecurity conf. I think that's all we get for now.

Enhance is pretty much unusable for me until I can verify and customize Apache conf, so really hoping that gets rolled out soon. I thought it was in the roadmap, but not seeing it anymore, maybe I just read one of the devs mention it... One config for Apache can't work, what if max workers is set to like 500 on a server that's capable of maxing out 20,000? Then that server is just a waste - or the app will be crippled for performance due to poor config.

I've read some ppl finding and customizing Apache conf file regardless of the fact it gets wiped during updates, but that's not acceptable for a production server. We need conf file access + persistence.

twest I read here someone just had a script that basically watched for a restart of the docker container and immediately updated the config files. That way it "persisted"

Completely agree its a huge oversite that should'nt be hard hard to add (compared to other features enhance has).

If you want to customise the configuration of a virtual host, you can use VirtualHost includes:

https://enhance.com/docs/application-role/apache.html#virtual-host-includes

If you want to edit the global configuration and have it persist, use the mod_security config editor in the UI. This is included into the Apache configuration and therefore all global directives are valid. If you're not using mod_security, you can remove all of the mod_security config and just add your Apache customisations there.

Adam will entries there override any defaults/duplicates that may be in other config files? Like I can adjust max request workers, server limit, max requests per child, enable keep-alive connections, set start/spare/max servers, set loglevel? That works for me if so 😀

Yes. Bear in mind that Apache by default uses mpm_event so you don't need to set ServerLimit too high. The default configuration should be sufficient for almost any workload.
