So, it became apparent to me, after emailing someone off list, that managing a lot of files in deep directory structures might be part of the cause.
We are running 10 instances of JBOSS and 10 instances of tomcat on each of these servers. Don't ask me why, it's just the way it was done before I arrived and changing it is not trivial. On disk, each instance of JBOSS starts at /opt/jboss/current/server/tfelN (where N is the instance number) and each instance of tomcat starts at: /opt/tomcat/tfelN/starterkit/current (where N is the instance number) I manually looked through the puppet config and counted 25 unique files that are being managed for jboss and tomcat within these paths. If you do the math, 25 x 10 x 2 = 500. That's therefore (currently) 500 unique files that are being managed in these deep directory structures. Could that potentially be the reason behind puppets crap performance? Doug. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
