Forum: Cfengine Help Subject: Re: evaluation of variables Author: joke Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,18954,18968#msg-18968
I don't want to change my user name because it's my actual first name. I would write it camelcase and it much less funny or meaningful in german anyway although I know it's funny in english. You might not see it 16 times because I only presented a snipped of whole configuration. I'm very capable of reading strace's output and I'm aware that it's a beta release I just ask to understand why the command is execute that many times. My current configuration doesn't have that many lines but a single cf-agent run currently forks 59 child processes so I'm a little bit worried about scalability. Maybe it will fork tens of thousand child processes once the configuration reaches a size it's used to monitor a simple setup. It just looked like cf-agent would evaluate all the common bundles each time it enters each agent bundle during its lifetime which is quite short. Cf-agent is not a daemon which would monitor the system over time making it really necessary to re-evaluate it's variable set. And even if there are cases then re-evaluation is necessary the common functional approach would be using a map and defer evaluation as long as possible and cache results of specific variable instances. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
