Hi,
My policy server runs RHEL 5.6 and the Cfengine 3.1.4 rpm. I have have 141
Solaris 10 clients connecting.
I deployed an upgrade of a software containing about 10 Solaris packages
contained in a tar-file of 47MB.
When the bundle decides the software needs updating the software is removed via
en external wrapper.
The 47MB-tar-file is downloaded and the wrapper unpacks it and install the
packages.
The memory usage of the cf-serverd quickly increased to about 96% and lot of
swap was used as well.
I noticed that I had a bug (me bad) which led to Cfengine removing/downloading
tar-file/installing every fifteen
minute. When my bug was corrected the memory usage leveled out on 90% and
overnight it dropped to
80% but never below. If I restart the cf-serverd now when this "big" upgrade is
done the memory usage is
0.1%.
I have iptables protecting the policy server so I have to investigate if this
disturbs normal operation.
I just wanted to raise a flag on this as 3.1.5 is in the making.
I have 4GB of RAM and two CPU's on the policy-server.
This is cf-serverd code.
