> 1. [..] That is to say, what sense does it make that a teacher can answer and send questions in the same way as a student? The most logical thing would be for the teacher to only see the attempts of his students. Does anyone understand this functionality from the teacher's point of view?

Yes. Once I set a quiz I want to go through it again (and again) to make sure it behaves exactly the way I want and the questions don't have mistakes (to my knowledge). I don't want all those checking to be recorded. And that is exactly what Moodle does, those are "previews" as opposed to "attempts".

Hi

That was clear evidence!
wink

Item 2 says your outgoing mail server accepts mail from your Moodle server. Item 3 says 'upload users' doesn't try to send mails. Item 1 supports it, that the \core\task\send_new_user_passwords_task is jobless.

It is baffling. For the same CSV file here my Moodle 4.1 LTS goes through the full program, yours doesn't even enter. Still worth proving whether the 'upload users' click creates an ad-hoc task but it was not picked up or it doesn't create an ad-hoc task. For that you have to filter task logs (Site administration > Server > Task logs and see in the minutes after "upload users" there are non-trivial \core\task\send_new_user_passwords_tasks (with some Database activity). Here are some samples from a jobless task queue:

Hi AL

Thanks for the quick clarification. I thought, I've overlooked something.

Still I prefer Diary. Grading is critical. Also the history, the "dialog", on each exercise visible on one page is very practical. I request the students and teachers not to delete history, rather to start each iteration with a version header like "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM, First version".

The matter is SOLVED.

Did you look at the sample results? They may be quality VMs, but for their resources, web server 4 vCPU / 32GB RAM, and equal database server, I find the numbers are disappointing. 4 good vCPUs and silicon arrays for storage should be well below 100, may be half of that. The weakness comes from the database.

That said, you are comparing Moodle 4.1 LTS to 4.3, everything else being equal, right? The 4.1 LTS was on this very same server duo, no system software - PHP, PostgreSQL, web server - has been changed or upgraded?

I am not qualified to talk about Moodle 4.3, my prod. instances all are on 4.1 LTS - for a reason. I wanted to open the dialog so that others who know 4.3 may join.

Specific system software as requested in Before you post.. read this.. could also be informative.
