Hi folks, When I enabled stored configs on my puppet master, it began keeping lots of open connections to the MySQL server (as far as I understand it opened one connection for each client run and never closed them).
I set up the server to close idle connections after 5 minutes. Now the database server does close the connections but the puppet master keeps them in CLOSE_WAIT state and eventually runs out of file descriptors. Here is a sample of the output of lsof on the puppet master: .../... puppetmas 16418 puppet 617u IPv4 2683389 TCP puppetmaster.ircam.fr:57097->mysql2.ircam.fr:mysql (CLOSE_WAIT) puppetmas 16418 puppet 618u IPv4 2683494 TCP puppetmaster.ircam.fr:57099->mysql2.ircam.fr:mysql (CLOSE_WAIT) puppetmas 16418 puppet 619u IPv4 2683506 TCP puppetmaster.ircam.fr:57100->mysql2.ircam.fr:mysql (CLOSE_WAIT) puppetmas 16418 puppet 620u IPv4 2684180 TCP puppetmaster.ircam.fr:57108->mysql2.ircam.fr:mysql (CLOSE_WAIT) puppetmas 16418 puppet 621u IPv4 2683726 TCP puppetmaster.ircam.fr:57102->mysql2.ircam.fr:mysql (CLOSE_WAIT) .../... The matching sockets don't appear on the MySQL server. The puppet master runs CentOS 5 with (pieces of) EPEL; here are the installed versions of the relevant packages: puppet-0.25.4-1.el5 puppet-server-0.25.4-1.el5 rubygem-activeresource-2.1.1-1.el5 rubygem-activesupport-2.1.1-2.el5 rubygem-activerecord-2.1.1-2.el5 rubygems-1.3.1-1.el5 rubygem-rails-2.1.1-2.el5 ruby-1.8.5-5.el5_4.8 ruby-mysql-2.7.3-1.el5 And the puppetmaster configĀ : [puppetmasterd] node_terminus = ldap ldapserver = nsldap.ircam.fr ldapbase = ou=Hosts,dc=ircam,dc=fr modulepath = /etc/puppet/modules:/usr/share/puppet:/var/lib/puppet/modules storeconfigs = true dbserver = mysql2.ircam.fr dbadapter = mysql dbname = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX dbuser = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX dbpassword = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX reports = store,log,rrdgraph rrdgraph = true -- Arnaud -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
