[Puppet Users] Re: Managing core files using coreadm (Solaris + Puppet)

2009-05-30 Thread Greg
Martin, I'm also not a fan of trying to retrofit stuff on top of undocumented features. My problem is that Puppet runs already take 1 minute every half hour, I am trying to reduce it if possible - otherwise I am going to start getting complaints by users about me taking their precious CPU time...

[Puppet Users] You should be using schedules :)

Maybe we're the last to the party but wow do schedules make a huge difference! Especially with file serving. We added schedules to a few file-heavy modules and cut the load and hits/day on our file serving puppetmaster by 2/3. Instead of doing everything once an hour these modules are now sched
