Running the agent in debug mode on a some clients and I am seeing long run times such as this, but only after the "using pson" lines :

Example of a fast node : Tue Feb 26 11:22:57 2013: Debug: file_metadata supports formats: b64_zlib_yaml pson raw yaml; using pson Tue Feb 26 11:22:58 2013: Info: /Stage[main]/Amadeuspro/File[/etc/puppet/tmp/com.HairerSoft.AmadeusPro.plist]: Evaluated in 0.15 seconds Tue Feb 26 11:22:58 2013: Info: /Stage[main]/Adobe/File[/etc/puppet/tmp/com.adobe.Reader.plist]: Starting to evaluate the resource Tue Feb 26 11:22:58 2013: Debug: file_metadata supports formats: b64_zlib_yaml pson raw yaml; using pson Tue Feb 26 11:22:58 2013: Info: /Stage[main]/Adobe/File[/etc/puppet/tmp/com.adobe.Reader.plist]: Evaluated in 0.07 seconds Puppet master and clients are 3.1 with Dashboard 1.2.22 and also using PuppetDB. Any thoughts why I'd have trouble and long run times on select nodes when pson is called? Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
