Upgraded from 3.7.3 to 3.8.2 and have after that had very slow compilation and file serving from the puppet master. We're running our puppetmaster with apache/passenger, ca. 900 hosts. Complete puppet runs earlier took 10-15s and after update take 30-300s. Very unstable performance.
Even running with just a few clients the runtimes are really slow. Decreasing the 'PassengerMaxPoolSize' makes the runs faster, but then it cant cope with an increased load. I have also tried with the jvm puppetserver with roughly the same performance (or lack thereof). I noticed the same pattern, if i set 'max-active-instances' in puppetserver.conf to 2, I get acceptable performance with a handful of clients, but with increased load it doesnt cope. If I raise the 'max-active-instances' the performance is even worse. This is running on an vmware server, 8 cpu and 12GB RAM. Cant find anything in the release notes that explain this performance drops, does anyone recognize the problem? I have now downgraded to 3.7.3 and my puppet runs are as fast as ever again. Any help appreciated. Regards Adam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
