Issue #4411 has been updated by Justin Honold.
FWIW, I found this bug in this way: - Read "Managed nodes can be configured to not check in automatically every 30 minutes, but rather to check in only when requested." at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/scaling.html - Looked at the output of 'puppet --genconfig|less', where nothing jumped off the screen to me as being this configuration directive. - "runinterval=0" seemed intuitive to me, so I Googled it and got this page as the first hit. The answer is apparently "—listen with —no-client" per Mr. Bode's comments, but I would appreciate it if the scaling page would offer a more clear pointer to HOW request-only check ins can be configured (as opposed to only stating that they can be). ---------------------------------------- Bug #4411: runinterval=0 does not behave as expected https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4411 Author: Oliver Hookins Status: Investigating Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Statler Affected Puppet version: 0.25.4 Keywords: Branch: Arguably "most" applications that can be configured to run periodically take a period of "0" to mean "don't run periodically". In Puppet's case, the value of runinterval is passed directly to the agent timer loop. Evidently, EventLoop::Timer is happy to fire off an event after 0 seconds have passed and thus runinterval=0 signifies "run constantly" which is not the expected nor desired behaviour (would *anyone* want this behaviour???). So I propose that a value of 0 should be taken to mean "disable the timed run loop". -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
