Issue #17564 has been updated by Hari Sekhon.
I understand the request but unfortunately there is no way to actively reproduce this problem. Run a large scale infrastructure with the same standardized version of clients and puppetmasters (2.7.12 right now) in 4xmongrel+apache balancer configuration, a tonne of modules and manifests (which you update often) and then add monitoring of state.yaml's mtime across the infrastructure (one of many things my puppet nagios plugin checks). Over time you will notice that some machines randomly stop updating state.yaml but if you were to puppetd --test they will pull a bunch of changed manifests and then update the state.yaml. ---------------------------------------- Bug #17564: Puppet stops applying catalog updates once in a while https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/17564#change-78673 Author: Hari Sekhon Status: Needs More Information Priority: Low Assignee: Hari Sekhon Category: agent Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.7.12 Keywords: Branch: I've observed over time that puppet sometimes doesn't fetch/apply the latest catalog updates. I'm not sure why this is but I've caught it by a comprehensive nagios plugin for puppet I wrote a couple years ago. In situations where this occurs, you might also find it when you do a puppetd --test and see a bunch of old changes that haven't been previously applied now being applied, leaving the question of why they weren't applied ages ago. I'm pretty sure this has been a long standing bug, I've observed it from 0.24.8 through to 2.7 but haven't bothered reporting it in past years since it's difficult to reproduce and puppetd --test "fixes" it.
