Sidekiq troubeshooting - performance issues, and removing sidekiq-cluster Omnibus service from a 14.0+ instance
What does this MR do?
Testing and a customer ticket (link for GitLab team members) indicates it's possible to get stuck with a second (fully deprecated) sidekiq-cluster
process along side sidekiq
process on Omnibus 14.0 and higher.
Chef is unable to remove it as the code doesn't exist to manage this service.
Additionally, an approach for troubleshooting slow Sidekiq performance is added. Context for this addition can be found at #368685 (comment 1049678738)

Author's checklist
-
Optional. Consider taking the GitLab Technical Writing Fundamentals course. -
Follow the: -
If you're adding or changing the main heading of the page (H1), ensure that the product tier badge is added. -
If you are a GitLab team member, request a review based on: - The documentation page's metadata.
- The associated Technical Writer.
If you are a GitLab team member and only adding documentation, do not add any of the following labels:
~"frontend"
~"backend"
~"type::bug"
~"database"
These labels cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.
Reviewer's checklist
Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.
-
If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert. - Technical writer review items:
-
Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date. -
Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR. -
Ensure a release milestone is set. - If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
-
The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior
, say something likeDefault behavior when you close an issue
. -
The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK
, say something likeConfigure GDK
. -
Any task steps should be written as a numbered list. - If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the docs-technical-debt label.
