Hi David, Personal opinion but I'd look at the actual traffic. Right now you don't know if it is user or application. The most efficient way to answer that question is to determine if the barcode is being transmitted. Maybe mirror a port on a switch and attach a desktop to that port and then use ngrep to capture the relevant traffic of a checkin. You should be able to generate a list of barcodes and then run them against your koha system to determine if the barcode was sent. If it was sent and not applied then you can investigate the host. If the barcode wasn't sent you can investigate the client. On Dec 16, 2009, at 9:25 AM, David Schuster wrote:
Looking for opinions... We have had instances mainly between 8-9 in the morning when the system is overloaded that items are not getting checked in. The librarians assure me they see ALL the titles come up on the screen. My only thought is that I'm having IO issues.
What are my best options to assist with this problem? More Memory? I'm running a Dell PowerEduge Smart 2950 III Quad Core Intel Xeon 2.5 GHz(2 processors), with 16 GB memory
Between 7:45 and 9:30 in the morning my system usage doing a top goes from 1 to 7, I've seen it go to 12 for the average load 1 minute reading.
We had 271,694 returns for November. I suspect the majority of that was between 7:30-9:30 Monday - Friday. Which comes out to be about 250 items checked in during a 2 hour period. Pretty good with no help other than volunteers... But when something doesn't get checked in and they run an overdue it creates more work for the librarian to track the book down. We want to believe Koha is perfect, but we are having some issues. I'd blame the librarian, but I'm hearing this from several schools not just a couple.
Thoughts?
