I found the root cause of my problem. After running of about 1 month
using the development environment my log file grew to over 24GB. I had
no idea this log file was even there since it's in a less than standard
location (/opt/puppet-dashboard/log/development.log). I switched to
using the production environment and that initially helped along with
purging about 3GB of my report data from the database, but ultimately,
the very large log file was impacting things as well.

I've been noticing my puppet dashboard is taking longer and longer to

data for it to process. I have about 1 month worth of data in my mysql
database now. I've recently upgraded to version 1.0.3 but it hasn't
improved the performance. It's taking typically around 60 - 90 seconds
for the page to load...the browser sits waiting for a response from
the server.
Some things that you can do to make Dashboard run faster:
1. Run it in `production` mode, which is explained further in
application's README.
2. Remove older reports from the database, e.g. keep only the last 15
days: `rake RAILS_ENV=production reports:prune upto=15 unit=day`
3. Run the Dashboard and its database on the same machine, and give them
enough CPU cycles and RAM to run comfortably.
If these don't help, it's likely that you're running into performance
problems with how Dashboard is currently implemented. Resolving these
issues is a high priority because it affects sites like yours with many
nodes and reports and is on the schedule for the next major release.
