Open OnDemand 4.0 seems slow

Dear developers,

We updated the OOD version from 3.1.10 to 4.0.0.
It’s just a feeling, but it feels like it’s become slower.

I looked at /var/log/ondemand-nginx/<my_account>/error.log.
Every time I click on an application icon, the following message is being output every second.

App 788877 output: [2025-01-20 14:33:47 +0900 ]  WARN "Announcement file not found: /etc/ood/config/announcement.md"

Since we have about 50 applications installed in our Open OnDemand site, this message lasts for 50 seconds.

OOD v3.1.10 did not output such a message, so could this message be the reason for the slowness?

Best,

Hey sorry for the delay in the response. I don’t think those log messages should cause noticeable delay, but I’ll look into why they’re there at all.

Dear Jeff,

I also notice a difference in performance after updating from OOD 3.1.11 to 4.0. The time required for the Dashboard to fully load in OOD 4.0 is approximately 3300ms, whereas in OOD 3.1.11, it was only 1200ms—so about twice as slow in the newer version.

With kind regards,
Dzung
