Hello all,
I am new to puppet and I currently just use it during development - just two
hosts. I only manage distribution of files/permissions with it.
I am wondering why puppetd is running slowly on one of these machines.
Google told me that File with "recurse => true" will make things run slowly.
I use "recurse => true" :(
Now I want to find out now if the slowdown I am experiencing is "normal" or
not. It "could" be a network issue . . .
*Some Notes:
*
- One host is running puppetmaster and puppetd, whereas the other one is
running just puppetd.
- A catalog run on the machine running both master/client takes less than 10
seconds. It requires one module more than the other (client-only) host
- A catalog run on the machine running just the client takes around 110
seconds. puppetd is using one core to 100% during the catalog run.
puppetmaster is almost idle.
- Both machines are identical (hardware,OS)
- The computers are equipped with 2 nic's. One private IP (192.168.99.X),
one public. The hostnames used for/by puppet are correct, I believe. When I
do 'ping {nameOfServerAsIn/etc/hosts}' it's resolved to the private ip of
that host. Same for the client. The (private) lan is actually a vlan setup
by our hosting company, its speed is 100Mbps, no flow control. Pings are
around 0.5ms
- I deleted the content of vardir=/var/lib/puppet (and then request/sign the
certificate) on the client
- I reinstalled puppetd on the machine, where it was running slow
- Most of the time (especially while investigating this issue) I run puppetd
with --no-daemonize and --debug
- I regularly restart puppetmaster (e.g. before a catalog run), since some
people reported memory problems with it
processor: Intel Xeon
os: ubuntu 10.4 LTS server 64-bit
puppet: 0.25.4 (taken from ubuntu repository)
Best Regards,
Martin
