Exporting PDF's how can I minimized load on Confluence server

Jaime Romaguera_ezr1jz

Hi,

When mutliple users export spaces to PDF. It cause high load on our Confluence server. Example we have a 4 core CPU server, if I one user exports a PDF use 25% of our CPU/s. So we get 4 users roughly exporting a Space to PDF rougly at the same time it can use up all our cpu resources. I wondering if anybody have any solution to minizied this issue.

My plan is too disable the PDF Export Plugin. Somehow schedule PDF export to be enable after hours and use the conflunence cli to export the PDF for the client after hours.

Wondering if has been able to make a plugin to be turn on or off by a scheduler or have other another suggestion.

Thanks

Regards

Jaime

Hello Jaime, you can disable the component during the day, and trigger the exports remotely using Confluence Command Line Interface exportSpace with --exportType PDF and a job scheduler.

As for re-enabling the component I believe that is not possible with the current API, you may need to perform that part of the task manually.
