I've seen posts of the "800 node wall" with mcollective/activemq, but nothing recent (http://ramblings.narrabilis.com/books/masteringpuppet/mcollective).
Is there a logical limit of nodes that a collective can contain? I'm working in an environment that currently has about 27,000 nodes - they are broken up into separate collectives, but some collectives have several thousand nodes (up to 9,000) and growing. Running "mco inventory --lc" will most times report back in the 27k range, but more and more that number is significantly less (with some collectives not even showing up) - in the hundreds instead of 10's of thousands... Stopping and restarting the activemq brokers, will "fix" this most of the time. Running puppet 3.6.2, mcollective-puppet 1.7.2, and activemq 5.9.1 Currently have 7 collectives configured, each collective has either one or two brokers, but the "main" broker (and the largest collective) has 3 brokers (master +2 slaves) ~]$ mco inventory --lc --dt=120 Collective Nodes ========== ===== col5_mcollective 136 col4_mcollective 282 col2_mcollective 1276 col7_mcollective 3059 col6_mcollective 3451 col3_mcollective 6744 col1_mcollective 12115 mcollective 27064 Total nodes: 27064 ~]$ mco inventory --lc --dt=120 Collective Nodes ========== ===== col5_mcollective 138 col4_mcollective 284 col7_mcollective 3062 col6_mcollective 3433 mcollective 6918 Total nodes: 6918 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
