Josh Cooper commented on FACT-3080   Re: facter.conf facts and fact-groups sections make facter very slow. This seems to be a duplicate of FACT-3170, which was fixed in facter 4.3.0. Using the latest 7.x version I don't see meaningful slow down when running `facter` or `puppet facts show`: [root@theatrical-den ~]# facter --version 4.3.1 [root@theatrical-den ~]# rpm -qa puppet-agent puppet-agent-7.23.0.64.gaddb5176e-1.el7.x86_64   [root@theatrical-den ~]# cp full-facter.conf /etc/puppetlabs/facter/facter.conf [root@theatrical-den ~]# time facter > /dev/null   real    0m0.940s user    0m0.796s sys    0m0.128s [root@theatrical-den ~]# time puppet facts show  > /dev/null   real    0m1.748s user    0m1.567s sys    0m0.195s   [root@theatrical-den ~]# cp facter-no-ttls.conf /etc/puppetlabs/facter/facter.conf  cp: overwrite ‘/etc/puppetlabs/facter/facter.conf’? y [root@theatrical-den ~]# time facter > /dev/null   real    0m0.773s user    0m0.623s sys    0m0.134s [root@theatrical-den ~]# time puppet facts show  > /dev/null   real    0m1.572s user    0m1.343s sys    0m0.212s   [root@theatrical-den ~]# cp facter-no-facts-section.conf /etc/puppetlabs/facter/facter.conf cp: overwrite ‘/etc/puppetlabs/facter/facter.conf’? y [root@theatrical-den ~]# time facter > /dev/null   real 0m0.629s user 0m0.500s sys 0m0.113s [root@theatrical-den ~]# time puppet facts show > /dev/null   real 0m1.266s user 0m1.048s sys 0m0.203s   [root@theatrical-den ~]# cp facter-no-facts-groups-section.conf /etc/puppetlabs/facter/facter.conf [root@theatrical-den ~]# time facter > /dev/null   real 0m0.521s user 0m0.373s sys 0m0.132s [root@theatrical-den ~]# time puppet facts show > /dev/null   real 0m1.222s user 0m1.010s sys 0m0.196s   [root@theatrical-den ~]# rm /etc/puppetlabs/facter/facter.conf rm: remove regular file ‘/etc/puppetlabs/facter/facter.conf’? y [root@theatrical-den ~]# time facter > /dev/null   real 0m0.513s user 0m0.366s sys 0m0.132s [root@theatrical-den ~]# time puppet facts show > /dev/null   real 0m1.182s user 0m0.945s sys 0m0.220s Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.11#820011-sha1:0629dd8) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
