Bug #961: puppetd creating too many/not closing TCP connections
http://projects.reductivelabs.com:80/issues/961

Author: col_s
Status: Closed
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: jamtur01
Category: network
Target version: 0.24.8
Complexity: Unknown
Patch: None
Affected version: 0.24.1
Keywords: 


With a single client puppetd run, established concurrent TCP connections 
between the client and the puppetmaster often exceeds 100.

If two or three clients are run in parallel, and sometimes even with a single 
client, the number of connections exceeds 256. On my Solaris 10 puppetmaster, 
the maximum number of
open files defaults to 256, when this limit is exceeded for the puppetmasterd 
process, no further connections can be opened and we receive the following 
error message on the client(s):


<pre>
warning: Other end went away; restarting connection and retrying
</pre>


Before starting a client run, the number of connections is zero:


<pre>
$ netstat -an | grep 8140.*ESTABLISH | wc -l
       0

</pre>

Soon after I start puppetd on the client:


<pre>
puppetmaster $ netstat -an | grep 8140.*ESTABLISH | wc -l
     101
</pre>


Prior to 0.24.0 I don't believe puppetd opened many connections to the 
puppetmaster concurrently.

I have needed to increase the limit on maximum open files on the puppetmaster, 
but this is not an ideal workaround as having all those sockets open consumes a 
lot of system resources and i'm still very limited in the number of clients we 
can run concurrently. So I think that this is a major issue.
