In essence, yes: we build the report structure as we go, but transforming it for submission, and sending it over the wire, certainly take time. That is proportional to the number of resources you have in your catalog, including things like recursive file copies or tidies. >How can i tune this? There really isn't any way to improve performance: there isn't (much) you can do to improve YAML output performance - although Telly, Puppet 3.0.0, will be a bit faster at building YAML when it is released. You could check to see if the performance problem comes from network transmission problems, but really there isn't much you can do to improve a single HTTPS request, which is how we submit the report back to the the master. -- Daniel Pittman ⎋ Puppet Labs Developer – http://puppetlabs.com ♲ Made with 100 percent post-consumer electrons -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
