Hi, Recommend that you do not run the agent as a service at all and instead use cron. You can then have each system randomize when they check in to prevent thundering herd[1]. I still run the puppet agent by default at boot time which is handled as you mentioned by cron with @reboot. If you bring up all your systems at the same time, this could pose an issue for you. Here my puppet module[2] that can manage your agent with cron or as a service.
