it works for us on piwik.org but we do not have 10,000 pages indeed. what is the error in your server error logs ?

Technically there is no Piwik error on the server Matt.

It's the web browser that gets impatient and send a "Page unresponsive" after waiting too long.

A quick fix (I can't provide since I'm no coder, sadly) would be to add a "no ajax query in segment editor".

BTW, we also get the infamous "Page unresponsive" when trying to use Segment Editor with IP filtering because Piwik tries to help us by filling the field from many thousands of IP that went at our door...

Small websites will not have such trouble but Government' ones (lots of different users and more than 1000 pages) will always do.

It was reported in #4509 as well:

Running v2.0.2
Database is approx 10gb.
When I go to create a new segment using the page url filter, it takes an incredibly long time to pre-fill the url list (Avg 5-10mins), effectively locking the table, resulting in locked transactions for the live stats data that is coming in. We're getting on average 5 hit per second during peak times. We don't want to go over 500 max connections on our database, which we max every time i try to add a new segment. Is there a way to not have the segment editor query the table for the prefilled url list so i can just specify the url i want to use? Thanks!

If you need to work around the issue, you can use the latest beta version, disable the "Live" plugin, and then the segment editor will work.

Realistically, this is clearly a bug: It crashes and prevent users from creating segment.

We should find a solution to this issue, some ideas of possible solutions:

• Setting to disable auto-suggest feature and/or set it to lower number of visits.
• Read values from archives (call plugin APIs) instead of reading from logs (from Live API)
  • To know the raw value to segment with, for each plugin API we need to know the mapping from Archived label <> original value from logs.

I don't speak fluent ajax but maybe introduce some kind of timout "if we reach 10 seconds to get back data, disable autocomplete".

Or a manual "stop autocomplete" at the right side of any field in segment editor (IP , Page name and URL are those common).

Anything to make Segment Editor usable in large websites.

In e81d7e1: refs #4253 as suggested by dalidev I specified a timeout for the autocomplete request (20seconds). If it is not loaded after 20 seconds

In ea91d38: refs #4253 slightly decrease the limit as there will be only 30 values kept anyway

@daliDev: Do you still experience "Page unresponsive" issues with the latest 2.2.1 release? I had a look at the API which returns max 30 results. This is implemented already for a longer time so there "shouldn't" be any "page unresponsive" issues.

Otherwise I decreased the limit a little bit which should make it slightly faster on the server side and added a request timeout of 20seconds on the client side.

Thomas, my server doesn't see the internet, auto-update isn't possible. Since I got +50k pageviews a day I don't upgrade too often. I'm at 2.2.0 at the moment.

So I'm limited in quick feedback on recent fixes. Pretty sorry about that.

But looks good on paper. ;)

Ok we experience the same issue on demo.piwik.org. The request for auto-suggest takes 2 minutes or so, and if I click on "Save & Apply" before the end of that request, then the "SegmentEditor.add" request is queued and waiting for auto-suggest response to come back.

Here is proposed solution:

• When "Save & Apply" is clicked, cancel all running ajax requests

See #5121 New config setting to disable segment auto complete

Thanks for the new feature for sites with 10 000 URLs...

This is appreciated.

So we can close this ticket?
