Notify Push setup but not less load on the server?

Hi,

I’ve successfuly installed notify_push app expecting less load on my server (mainly using Group Folders) caused by Desktop Sync clients, but it changes nothing, my server keeps serving PROPFIND requests ever and ever to Desktop clients, is this normal?

# occ notify_push:self-test
✓ redis is configured
✓ push server is receiving redis messages
✓ push server can load mount info from database
✓ push server can connect to the Nextcloud server
✓ push server is a trusted proxy
✓ push server is running the same version as the app

Thanks.

you can check if notify_push usage using following command

occ notify_push:metrics
  • Active connections should increase/decrease if NC client is started/stopped
  • file change should result in “message send”
  • grep your nextcloud.log file for PROPFIND - without notify_push every client performs such operation every 30sec if it works this happens every 5 min (I think)

you can do self test as well
docker exec --user www-data dev-nextcloud-app php occ notify_push:self-test

Thanks, but as the flood of PROPFIND requests is never ending, how can I tell if notify_push makes a difference or not? Main purpose of this should be a reduced server load, but it changes nothing (with ou without notify_push, load is the same because of the continuous PROPFIND requests from sync clients).
