Issue #1973 has been updated by harisekhon. Affected version changed from 0.24.6 to 0.24.7
The documentation says you can use checksum => nosum but when I try this I got Failed to retrieve current state of resource: Invalid checksum type nosum Puppet 0.24.7 Surely nosum should be valid? I went through the changelog but there was no reference to "nosum", so I can't see if this was done in some developmental or newer version. The performance implication of this is that I have to set checksum => mtime as the least expensive thing after nothing, but on servers with tonnes of files, this means statting thousands or millions of files for mtime!!! ---------------------------------------- Bug #1973: Performance problems http://projects.reductivelabs.com:80/issues/1973 Author: harisekhon Status: Needs more information Priority: High Assigned to: Category: Target version: Complexity: Unknown Affected version: 0.24.7 Keywords: Puppetd is chewing up a ridiculous amount of CPU and the boss at work has unfortunately noticed and described it as "unacceptable". I would really like to see puppet run more efficiently. We are running fast multi-cpu servers with multi-cores have servers running oracle databases and computational services so when someone says that puppet is making a noticeable dent in cpu time, I don't have much of a come back for that, other than "that's life!". I understand that the multi-cpus and core probably makes no difference as I believe this is pretty much single threaded but the point is they are new and fast servers. My fear is that my boss will turn around and say "Get rid of that bloatware, I want my servers to go fast..." Unfortunately my boss is not the only person who has called puppet a resource hog... help! ---------------------------------------- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
