Forum: CFEngine Help Subject: Re: cf-exced ignores splaytime on syntax errors / unleash the stampede Author: msvob...@linkedin.com Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,24225,24246#msg-24246
Ok, looking at Neil's example, I figured out what I had misconfigured... I had included my body executor control statement to configure cf-execd in promises.cf only. I did not have this configuration in failsafe.cf. I assume what happened is that when promises.cf gets jacked up, this ends up causing splaytime to set to zero. In fact, it seems that you dont really need the body executor control body promise included in promises.cf at all. I uncommented out the import statement, and cf-execd seems to be operating fine. At the end, I suppose it'll be safe to just import the same external cf-execd.cf file, where I keep my body executor control promise. That way, even if there is a modification to it, both failsafe.cf and promises.cf will inherit the same changes. So, if you're configuring cf-exced via promises.cf, I suggest you move this into a input in failsafe.cf if you rely on splaytime to be functional. Otherwise, your infrastructure _will_ get jacked up on the first syntax error in your production environment. Thanks Neil for the example. It helped me understand what was going on. And thanks sauer for the splayclass example. I'll have to think more about your setup to see how I can better incorporate those changes into our infrastructure. Cheers guys. Really appreciate the help. This ended up solving a major reliability issue for us. +1 for the Cfengine community.
