[GeoNode-users] Large Capabilties document causes create mapcrash

Tue Nov 21 00:08:12 PST 2017

Hi Paolo,

I forgot to mention that:

- The WMSCSOURCE is a cascaded WMS inside my GeoNode-Geoserver

- As I mentioned before if I remove the WMSCSOURCE of the local_settings the "Create Map" page works perfect. Then if I add the server via "Add remote server" in the GeoExplorer it loads the capabilities without any problem, it takes its time since they're still around 5000 layers, but it doesn't crash.

- Connecting to the GeoServer that holds that large number of layers from QGIS works quite fast but If I try to connect to the GeoNode-Geoserver from QGIS I get a time-out exception, so I don't really know if it's something related to the number layers or to the Cascading WMS.

Paolo, I'll answer you below:

1) make sure you are not exposing lots of unneeded projections. --> I've removed unneeded projections, but without success.
2) if applicable, restrict the layers returned by the GetCapabilities using virtual services by filtering on a workspace --> We're already working with Virtual services, perhaps we could improve here by re-ordering / thinking a new architecture.

Apart from being a large number of layers and that we can improve that a little bit, I feel that the problem seems to be the cascaded configuration perhaps? Is there anything that I can tune there?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Agur bero bat,

Hi David

unfortunately that is not going to scale well.

Any chance you can restrict the size of the document? Two things are worth to mention:
1) make sure you are not exposing lots of unneeded projections.
Sometime this is causing the document to grow pretty much!
2) if applicable, restrict the layers returned by the GetCapabilities using virtual services by filtering on a workspace

regards

That geoserver is handling right now 5000 layers approximately, the thing is that as the number of layers is growing the load time of the "Create Map" page has slowed down in the same rate causing finally a "memory crash" in the browser...
