PVE Proxy Increase Workers

[tetio]

Hi Everyone,

I am using the BPG-terraform-provider-proxmox and am having very slow terraform plan and applys when making changes within the enviroment.

I am running this on my T430 Server with 40 Cores, so wanting to know if there is a way to increase the number of workers from 3 to like 10

You can set the number of Proxmox VE worker threads under Datacenter -> Options from 4 to the setting you like. If you use too many workers doing the same things, you may run into some locks where your tasks may timeout.

Hey mgabrial

At the moment I have attempted to increase bulk workers but it does not seem to increase the PVE workers for the PVE proxy as still same performance if, if I increase it

the API workers are hard coded, but they only handle sync API requests, anything doing heavy lifting runs in a separate process (task worker) that handles a single task. the number is defined in daemon_options in /usr/share/perl5/PVE/Service/XX.pm - if you see an improvement please file a bug for making it configurable somewhere and provide concrete numbers/details!
