Issue #1395 has been updated by ohookins.
I'm getting significant memory usage on 0.24.5 on puppetd clients that are sitting around waiting for the CA to sign their cert. I'm not sure if this is the same issue as reported but thought it worth mentioning. One machine running Debian Etch has had puppetd running as a daemon for only 5 days and it has already swallowed a significant chunk of memory: <pre> # ps u -C ruby USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 17715 9.6 60.9 750952 626340 ? Dsl Sep12 689:18 ruby /usr/sbin/puppetd -w 0 </pre> about 600MB! I'm also finding puppetd tends to use a lot of CPU time while waiting for the CA to sign the cert, and attempts to talk to the puppetmaster a lot more frequently than it should... but perhaps that's a story for another ticket. ---------------------------------------- Bug #1395: puppet memory usage http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/show/1395 Author: immerda Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assigned to: andrew Category: Target version: Complexity: Unknown Patch: None Affected version: 0.24.4 Keywords: In a recent discussion about using puppetd with xinetd ("main thread":http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/browse_thread/thread/50c94008469fc395/11687cd0a633f8f4 ) it came out that there is some investigation needed on puppetd's memory usage. Different people noticed that running puppetd is using a lot of footprint (links follow), while other noticed that it uses nearly none (links follow) Notices about high memory usage: VIRT/RES "141m/61m":http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/msg/75a8bb3b6652bae6 "127m/82m":http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/msg/a4a43d3edd585c03 64 bit "166m/83m":http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/msg/1825ed57ff84287f "183m/96m":http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/msg/ecf2cd36b6e1e3a6 version 0.24.4, 64 bit Notices about low memory usage: "nothing specific":http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/msg/aac9fade1b906bd9 version 0.24.4 "57m/46m":http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/msg/680b2b2760aa8890 version 0.23.1 Personally I can add another memory usage on a 32bit machine, which is rather low: 85m virt and 69m res, running 0.24.4 Luke then "noticed":http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/msg/573a76e32fba3eb0 that we should investigate on memory usage in the near future. Besides the memory consumption of puppetd, also the memory consumption of puppetmaster was discussed. There Duncan Hill noticed that splitting the fileserver off the the main puppetmaster "improved the situation heavily":http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/msg/a7083b931b5c4cda , however he "noticed":http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/msg/f68347fdb69b8496 that the manifest puppetmaster still consumes a lot of memory. There have been also "other reports about memory usage trashing the master and the client":http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/browse_thread/thread/26aa8025de704cc4/1c9608f58360cdbb, however this might not be related. Quick Summary: We have seen different environments reporting a lot of memory usage. Most of them seem to be 64bit machines using 0.24.4. One report about low memory usage was a 0.23.1 version. Personal additional assumption: And for a first glance it looks like that 64bit machines double the memory consumption. (Take care of this assumption) ---------------------------------------- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
