Issue #14940 has been updated by Steve Shipway.
Additional info -- puppet server is 2.7.10 in a distributed setup (apache mod_balancer load balancer over three backends, all identical and configs controlled by puppet and synched) Puppet server logs show requests coming in for the plugin synch and any plugin updates, which all complete correctly, but then no request for the manifest. My guess is that it may be hanging somewhere in the facter functions. We have several custom facts, but none spawn additional processes that may be hanging. When the agent is in a 'hung' state, the single process has no children, and is using minimal if any cpu (so not a busy-wait loop) Facter version 1.6.5 (noarch RPM from puppetlabs repository) ---------------------------------------- Bug #14940: puppet agent hangs unpredictably during runs https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/14940#change-64712 Author: Steve Shipway Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: agent Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.7.10 Keywords: agent hang Branch: We have a problem with the puppet agent when running in daemon mode. On about 0.15% of runs (thats about 8 or less a day in our 450-node setup) the agent will start a puppet run, and never exit. This prevents all future runs, and the daemon needs to be killed and restarted to make it all OK again. This cannot be duplicated at will, and seems to happen at random. It only happens (so far) with puppet in daemon mode. Logs show the run starts but never exits; however we have no more information as to where it is hanging (is there any way to get this?) As it happens rarely any additional tracing would have to be added to all 450 of our clients... -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
