Issue #13575 has been updated by Stefan Schulte.
to check a simple file resource is easy because puppet can use pure ruby code (and simple stat system calls). If you run puppet agent with the `--debug` flag you'll see when puppet is executing an external command which may give more insight view. On RedHat puppet will run a `/sbin/chkconfig servicename` and, depending whether `hasstatus` is true or false, will execute `/sbin/service servicename status` (if hasstatus is set to true) or `ps -ef` and parse the output (if hasstatus is set to false). I guess that's what taking the most time and I have no idea how to improve speed around here. ---------------------------------------- Feature #13575: class Service too slow https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13575#change-60093 Author: Pablo Fernandez Status: Needs More Information Priority: Normal Assignee: Pablo Fernandez Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: Hi, I have just added to my testing environment 20 Services that I want to make sure they are not started, and suddenly the time puppet agent takes to run has multiplied. It went from 2.3 seconds to 6.8 (just the "service" section). The rest of the time spent on the other classes is negligible, compared to the Service class, if you take away the "config retrieval". So, I took away the module that ensures all those services are stopped (it just does a enable => false) and the time goes back to normal: - last_run: 1333379655 - service: 6.847941 - total: 9.38650103457641 - config_retrieval: 2.11831903457642 - package: 0.020925 - filebucket: 0.000494 - notify: 0.004085 - file: 0.392612 - exec: 0.002125 + last_run: 1333379753 + service: 2.364656 + total: 4.94454407040405 + config_retrieval: 2.16072607040405 + package: 0.201954 + filebucket: 0.000344 + notify: 0.003545 + file: 0.212003 + exec: 0.001316 I really think something should be done to improve the performance of the Service class.
