Hi,
I faced the following problem. Our server works under the constant load of 300-400 requests per second.
From request execution time statistics I see that in some cases "fast" request(that normally executes in few milliseconds) may hang for seconds.
Here is an illustration of this problem.
I execute the following GET request "http://127.0.0.1:777/fcgi/auth..."(no ssl, no dns lookup, just http on localhost) from local client(on the same sever).
Usually this request executes in less then 1 millisecond, but in this case execution time is 130 milliseconds.
From tcpdump I can conclude following:
16:18:43.095716 - client sent request to nginx
16:18:43.225903 - nginx sent request to upstream
16:18:43.226178 - upstream replied to nginx
16:18:43.226235 - nginx replied to client
So request was processed by upstream in less then 1 millisecond, but it took about 130 microseconds to read request from client and pass it to upstream.
I observe similar behavior both for fcgi upstreams and for static requests.
Does anybody have similar problems? In which direction should I investigate?
