Issue #4035 has been updated by Klavs Klavsen.
Unfortunately the latest mod_rails and passenger requires new ruby packages etc. etc. - and we're running it on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. I'm working on installing a 10.04 LTS and setting it up there instead to see if mod_rails help - but still - if it is a performance problem - shouldn't the client's atleast "try again" - or the server handle it better - depending on what triggers this failure to retrieve metadata ? And the problem has gotten a LOT worse (if it at all were there before) - with the same amount of clients on the exact same puppetmaster server - after upgrading from 0.24.8 to 0.25.5. It may be that 0.25.5 uses the resources "more" - but if I look at my dstat graphs (which collect all the interesting resource stats) - I see no spikes when these failures appear - and it's generally between 80 and a 100% idle all the time. In the short term graphs (4 hours) - I found one time where the cpu-idle went to ~0% - and there was 1 "complaint" from a puppet client in that period - but there were just as many before and long after this - where the graphs looks fine. Would it help - if I ran the puppetmaster in debug mode - and dumped it to a log file? (as long as it syslogs the debug info - it's timestamped). ---------------------------------------- Bug #4035: random error: Failed to retrieve current state of resource: Could not retrieve file metadata http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4035 Author: Klavs Klavsen Status: Needs more information Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: Target version: Affected version: 0.25.5 Keywords: Branch: complete line is: puppetd[7423]: (//puppet::client/Conffile[/etc/default/puppet]/File[/etc/default/puppet]) Failed to retrieve current state of resource: Could not retrieve file metadata for puppet:///puppet/puppet: at /etc/puppet/modules/functions/manifests/init.pp:12 It shows up random on different hosts - at a rate of a few an hour. It seems to be new with our recent upgrade from 0.24.8 to 0.25.5 - or atleast increased greatly. Pls. tell me what more information I can provide that can be of help. p.s. could in possibly be a performance issue of sorts? we have 88 clients - running at 30minute intervals - with puppetmaster running on a vmware virtual linux server - running standard webrick daemon. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
