Hi, We're using ceph as object storage. Several days ago we noticed that listing operation is very slow. Command ceph daemon osd.ID perf dump showed us a very big usage of db.slow. I aggregate output from servers: SUM DB used: 217.29 GiB SUM SLOW used= 1.25 TiB SUM WAL used= 75.14 GiB SUM DB used: 121.91 GiB SUM SLOW used= 1.12 TiB SUM WAL used= 54.18 GiB SUM DB used: 121.84 GiB SUM SLOW used= 1.21 TiB SUM WAL used= 58.72 GiB SUM DB used: 122.43 GiB SUM SLOW used= 1.01 TiB SUM WAL used= 40.67 GiB SUM DB used: 123.22 GiB SUM SLOW used= 1.19 TiB SUM WAL used= 54.62 GiB SUM DB used: 122.43 GiB SUM SLOW used= 1.01 TiB SUM WAL used= 33.62 GiB SUM DB used: 126.79 GiB SUM SLOW used= 1.24 TiB SUM WAL used= 72.45 GiB SUM DB used: 121.30 GiB SUM SLOW used= 1.08 TiB SUM WAL used= 52.59 GiB SUM DB used: 115.57 GiB SUM SLOW used= 1.14 TiB SUM WAL used= 50.37 GiB SUM DB used: 126.06 GiB SUM SLOW used= 1.23 TiB SUM WAL used= 60.08 GiB SUM DB used: 121.28 GiB SUM SLOW used= 1.08 TiB SUM WAL used= 46.64 GiB SUM DB used: 122.54 GiB SUM SLOW used= 1.09 TiB SUM WAL used= 47.87 GiB SUM DB used: 122.04 GiB SUM SLOW used= 1.15 TiB SUM WAL used= 35.18 GiB SUM DB used: 138.03 GiB SUM SLOW used= 1.04 TiB SUM WAL used= 36.01 GiB SUM DB used: 138.72 GiB SUM SLOW used= 1.08 TiB SUM WAL used= 33.95 GiB SUM DB used: 126.25 GiB SUM SLOW used= 1.15 TiB SUM WAL used= 43.55 GiB SUM DB used: 119.74 GiB SUM SLOW used= 1.17 TiB SUM WAL used= 50.96 GiB SUM DB used: 143.98 GiB SUM SLOW used= 1.01 TiB SUM WAL used= 34.37 GiB SUM DB used: 135.29 GiB SUM SLOW used= 1.12 TiB SUM WAL used= 46.46 GiB We have about 500M objects in 75 buckets. I think that this value is too big, am I correct? What data is stored in rocksdb, that takes so much space? Is there any parameters, triggers, which will lower used space? We have 19 nodes + 3 (mgr+rgw+mon) nodes. Each osd node has 34x8TB drive and 2x480GB NVMe, where each osd has 20GB for rocksDB and 4GB for WAL. We're using Ceph 12.2.4 installed with ceph-ansible.
