Retry loading a widget up to three times in case of error #10704
Conversation
Widgets timing out seems to be a relative common problem, especially if many of them are displayed at once.

Thank you @fhoech for the PR! When you experience this "Widget times out" issue, is it when viewing reports for "Today" or "current month / week" or a date range, including today? (maybe this could be caused by this bug: #8444 which we ideally should fix differently ie. introduce a lock so that other widgets "wait" for the main process to finish archiving) Or do you maybe also experience this issue on older reports that do not include today? |

@fhoech do you have a chance to answer #10704 (comment) ? thanks! |
It can happen for any range as far as I've experienced it, but I've not checked if "Today" needs to be part of the range for the problem to manifest or not (I'm using log analytics exclusively, and the log import and report generation runs in a daily cronjob, but I've still enabled "generate reports on the fly" or however the option is called in the piwik admin interface).
I haven't checked but from the sounds of it, that could be it. |

I'm not sure either. I would max retry it a second date and maybe make it dependent on date (maybe only for ranges and when it includes today or so?). It is hiding the problem a little and likely the solution is to disable browser archiving and the problem won't occur anymore (unless it is memory related but then retrying won't solve it). Possibly I would rather prefer to better educate and mention disabling browser archiving if it is enabled. |
I think that would be a better solution. So I vote for not merging |

Note: there is already this issue which describes problem and possible solution to "educate and mention disabling browser archiving" #6210 |
