How can I speed up Jira/Confluence

[bartfriederichs]

I am quite new to the JIRA/Confluence system, but just having spent the better part of the day installing it (mainly sitting waiting until some task was done), I find it rather slow. Every time you click somewhere, I have to wait at least 5-10 seconds until something happens. Often much longer, also causing time-outs in my proxy. And this is even for trivial tasks like showing a user's profile.

I do not have a very heavy server, so I checked the system requirements, which told me a dual-core server should work fine.

My setup is as follows:

• dual Intel Xeon, 1.8MHz
• 2G RAM
• 40G harddisk
• Linux CentOS 7

What can I do to improve the performance of JIRA/Confluence?

In jiraissue table, column Assignee contains the email id. But when we check the history tables i.e. changeitem the values stored in Oldstring and Newstring are the Names and not the Email Ids.

I need to know from where are these names picked up because they don't appear in cwd_user also.

You should find it is recording the unique identifier for a user, not the display name.

Thanks for reply Nic.

But according to my requirement I need to get the Email ID of the names coming in Newstring column of Changeitem table. And therefore I was trying to match the Newstring with the Display Name present in cwd_user so I can the email id.

But the Names coming in Newstring are not matching with the DisplayName. Say in NewString I am getting Swapnil Singh - GA and in displayname i am getting Swapnil Singh.

Any pointer will be helpful. TIA

I'm not sure what else I can tell you - you need to be matching on the unique id, not display name.
