Hi Team,

 

I have the below Cache Hit Ratio Logs from HTTPD Error Logs -

As seen above the max cache hit ratio is extremely low. (max 4%)

Query 1 - On what timeframe is the ratio calculated ?

 

Analyzing the HTTPD Error Logs for a time period between 2 logs - 

Choosing between 2 time frames -
Time Frame - 05:56:23 to 05:58:32
Line 29658: Thu Sep 08 05:56:23.335498 2022 [dispatcher:info] [pid 248:tid 139694172326712] [cm-pyyyyy-ezzzzzz-aem-publish-5f697b88fb-9n4sd] Current cache hit ratio: 2.00 %, referer: https://publish-pyyyyy-ezzzzzz.adobeaemcloud.com/systemready

I tried to get a list of all requests that are coming to the dispatcher between the time period.

HTTPD Access _ Logs - 
Time Frame - 05:56:23 to 05:58:32 - 2 mins - 222 requests
/favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 - 9 Requests
/system/probes/health HTTP/1.1" 200 1126 "-" "Envoy/HC" - 157 Requests
/server-status/?auto HTTP/1.1" 200 2351 "-" "Go-http-client/1.1" - 25 requests
/system/probes/live HTTP/1.1" 200 31 "-" "kube-probe/1.21" - 32 requests
Total Requests - 223 Requests

 

I think the cache hit ratio is low because of these requests that are not cached and not site specific.

Can you please help with this issue ? How can we boost the cache hit ratio ?

 

My current website implementation has one single page hence maybe that's why the cache hit ratio is low.

The cache-hit ratio on individual dispatchers is not a really good indication how the overall caching is doing, especially when adding Fastly into the equation. And the goal should be to cache as much as possible in the CDN.

 

I recommend to check https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/implementing/conten... to details on Caching with AEM as a Cloud Service

Hi @Jörg_Hoh , thanks for the reply. We have implemented most of the suggestions on the sent link.

We will maybe ignore the cache-hit ratio on individual dispatchers for now.

@Jörg_Hoh - The Adobe BPO Report takes into account Cache Hit Ratio as written below -

Query - Do you think this metric is fetched from CDN or Dispatcher for BPO?

As far as I know this is taken from the CDN.

 

(I forwarded this post also to the folks who build the BPO. Thanks for the feedback!)

Dear @Rohan_Garg 

 

Can you please help me on below one as like you.

 

Dispatcher "Cache Hit Ratio" is under 50% which is far less than the adobe recommendation. This is badly impact the performance of the website. Kindly review the requests and see if we can improve the cache ratio.

 

many thanks in advance.

Cheers

@RamMandala - Can you share your requests log?

Also, please check the below link for optimal caching - 
https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/implementing/conten...


The cache hit ratio might not be the best parameter to go by. Try ensuring you cache as much as you can on CDN (eg TTLs). Hope this helps!
