Local dns entries taking significantly more time to get loaded rendering dns resolving unpossible

General beta
1

So after trying to add a local dns entry, i found out my dns was out. Trying to reproduce the issue, I found out that adding a local dns entreis made the pihole-ftl sky rocket in cpu usage for about a minute. It also made pihole unable to resolve dns queries.
Rebooting pihole, I alse saw that when booting, the ftl had about the same issue maxing out cpu usage for a little while.
I am running pihole on a vm with only 1 cpu core but never had the issue before.

edit: it actually maxes cpu for about 5 minutes before comming back down to normal.

2

Is this via the web interface?

3

yes it is.
and local queries take much more time than before but I think this has already been pointed out.

4

I did notice mine felt a little slow when adding a local domain via the web interface yesterday, but didn't think much of it. I'll have a proper play tomorrow some time.

It may all be related to the other issues around cache response times/types. There is already a patch that should fix that in dnsmasq, we just need to bring it into FTL and find out... (Tomorrow, at the very earliest)

5

ok great to here that thank you very much. I'll keep you updated if I get anything new.

@DL6ER did we change something in FTL startup order that might have affected this? Not dug too deeply but here are some logs after adding a local DNS entry via the web interface

I do note a fairly significant time difference in the Resizing... parts (same db). Any thoughts?

(edit: Note to add I will add those capabilities, but don't think they're the cause as the difference is quite clear between the two)

Double Edit:
I think on beta it is 10x slower? 3 whole seconds vs ~300 milliseconds on 5.8.1

Bit of an update, trying to update some of the logging policies i found out that it reproduced the issue. So I think the issue, on my side at least, is that whenever an update is made to the pihole-FTL, it has to be reloaded (correct me if I am wrong) which seams to be normal but the time the FTL takes to load seams to be the issue here.
When I boot pihole up, it does the same thing, boots as it would before but then for about 5 minutes the FTL loads or something making it take much more time than before.

The delay issues should be resolved now, please update and test again if the delay is still an issue for you.

Confirmed - it's super zoomy now. Thanks!

Yup everything seems to be back to normal, inserting local dns is quick and resolving is to, thanks.
