Title: Message Title

otheus updated an issue   Facter / FACT-3157 Facter 3 command very slow with -p option for single-facts Change By: otheus Facter 3.14 is 80x slower compared to facter 2.x. when requesting a single fact. Analysis indicates that all facts are processed and evaluated, not only the ones requested. The facter command should evaluate only those facts requested (and dependencies) on the command line. --- — From facter 2.4.6 {code} time facter -p operatingsystem RedHat real    0m0.754s user    0m0.525s sys     0m0.075s {code} From 3.14.24: {code} # time facter -p operatingsystem RedHat real    0m8.166s user    0m6.533s sys     0m1.084s {code} v3.14, without `-p`... {code} RedHat real    0m0.207s user    0m0.182s sys     0m0.025s {code} v3.14, with -p but non-root: {code} 2022-10-07 14:22:42.150228 WARN  puppetlabs.facter - skipping external facts for "/home/XXXX/.puppetlabs/opt/puppet/cache/facts.d": No such file or directory RedHat real    0m1.115s user    0m0.969s sys     0m0.131s {code} Using Ruby (as root) to retrieve core fact: {code} time /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/ruby -rfacter -e 'p Facter.value("operatingsystem");' "RedHat" real    0m0.105s user    0m0.091s sys     0m0.014s {code} Using facter -p (as root) evaluating a "fast" puppet-sync fact: {code} # time facter -p service_provider systemd real    0m8.297s user    0m6.534s sys     0m1.175s {code} Using ruby directly to retrieve puppet-sync'd fact: {code} # export FACTERLIB=/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/lib/facter; time /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/ruby -rfacter -e 'p Facter.value("service_provider");' "systemd" real    0m1.184s user    0m1.045s sys     0m0.137s {code} Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.11#820011-sha1:0629dd8) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
