hah. So I have to say, that 0.24.8 improved storeconfigs a lot. (awesome work Brice!) There is no observable performance hit with a single client puppeting against a single server with storeconfigs enabled or disabled anymore. Obviously capacity will decrease in a real world environment like ours, but it's much more feasible under 0.24.8 than it ever was before. > > Regards > > James Turnbull > > -- > Author of: > * Pro Linux Systems Administration > (http://tinyurl.com/linuxadmin) > * Pulling Strings with Puppet > (http://tinyurl.com/pupbook) > * Pro Nagios 2.0 > (http://tinyurl.com/pronagios) > * Hardening Linux > (http://tinyurl.com/hardeninglinux) > > -- Nigel Kersten [email protected] System Administrator Google, Inc. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
