I did not test this, but i think this would not scale well.
Possibly. You could also do something like this. Put the thing you need to check frequently into a module, we'll call it "frequent" for now, and structure your setup with environments like the following: # normal environment [normal] modulepath=/var/lib/puppet/env/normal/modules:/var/lib/puppet/env/frequent/modules [frequent] modulepath=/var/lib/puppet/env/frequent/modules Then you could choose to run every 5 minutes against the "frequent" environment, and you'd have a very minimal catalog for the rapid runs, and a more comprehensive one for your "normal" runs. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
