This week there were several reports of unavailable environments or slowness. Further investigation shows there is no single root cause. All issues were investigated thoroughly and different issues impacted different environments.
All the issues identified will be followed up (see below). One of the issues (degraded performance when using the Odata feed), is planned to be fixed in the next update of TOPdesk.
We are seeing that the frequency of these issues has decreased. This major will now be closed but we will continue working on the identified issues. Resolved issues will be communicated via the Release Notes page.
Identified issues causing high CPU or memory load for which a fix will be developed - Extremely Large Form Designer Forms with more than 100+ questions - High frequency of API calls within a short duration of time - Certain cases of new Import functionality (e.g. Azure import) - Unexpected loop in knowledge base search index creation - Action sequence execution log with more than 50.000 records (which should be capped at 50)

Investigating
Several customers report slowness while working in TOPdesk. We notice the CPU usage of TOPdesk environments is much higher than usual.
If you experience problems while working in TOPdesk, please contact TOPdesk Support after submitting an incident. Our Support team can store additional logfiles to investigate the root cause of this problem, and restart your TOPdesk environment to mitigate the impact.
