Hi Jonathan,

If you're not already running your puppetmaster behind Apache/Passenger then that would be my initial recommendation. Webrick, puppet's default http server, can only handle 1 agent checkin at a time and is usually the 1st culprit in scaling issues. Although it's always worth ensuring PuppetDB/Postgres are operating efficiently, my understanding is that Puppet -> PuppetDB communications are asynchronous, so even if they do take a long time, it shouldn't be affecting your master -> agent interactions.

Kind Regards,

Matt.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for your response. We are indeed running puppetmaster behind Apache/Passenger. We can handle more than one agent checkin at once, but triggering more than a few simultaneously will usually result in timeouts or spurious errors such as the agents claiming that one of their classes does not exist.

Thanks,
Jonathan
