Hello list.
We're running puppet version 0.24.4, and are having trouble with puppetmaster running really slow. The puppetmaster has been running fine until about a couple of day ago, and for no apparent reason it just lost performance. I've also noticed that the puppet daemon on many of our clients a dying. Both master and clients run very slow, but I'm not sure if the client runs slow because of the master. The symptoms I've seen are that running puppet on a client often takes a very long time (one of the nodes used close to 800 seconds to run the config), or even times out. Once in a while, however, things seems back to normal, and the run is executed in a few seconds. On the server side the time between "Compiled configuration for ..." messages takes a very long time (often several minutes), in contrast to normal operations where configurations get compiled quite frequently. What puzzles me is that there are no signs of resource starvation on the server - we have low CPU and memory utilization. So there shouldn't be, as far as I can see, any hardware limitations causing puppetmaster to run slow. I don't have the exact number of active puppet nodes, but it should be well under 100 nodes. Other than that, I can mention that "storeconfig" is set to "true" in puppet.conf. And another question/observation: I started a client run more than five minutes ago by issuing "puppet --server puppetmaster --test", and it is either running very slow or something has crashed. The last message on the screen is "notice: Starting catalogue run", and it's been like that since I started the run. Is this a symptom of a problem at the client side, or at the master side? I mean, when I get to the message just mentions, I'd think that the puppetmaster has done it's part, and now it's up to the client to execute. So maybe this indicates that there is something wrong at the client side also? Anyways, any tip on how to figure this out will be very appreciated, as we're quite dependent on puppet in our daily work.
