Josh Cooper created an issue   Facter / FACT-717 Facter on Xen tries to connect to ec2 rest endpoint multiple times Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.2.0 Assignee: Eric Sorenson Created: 30/Sep/14 4:02 PM Labels: windows Priority: Normal Reporter: Josh Cooper On Xen, facter will attempt to connect to the EC2 rest endpoint multiple times. If you apply this patch: $ git diff diff --git a/lib/facter/ec2/rest.rb b/lib/facter/ec2/rest.rb index 7495ef0..23a8eef 100644 --- a/lib/facter/ec2/rest.rb +++ b/lib/facter/ec2/rest.rb @@ -21,6 +21,7 @@ module Facter   begin Timeout.timeout(timeout) do + puts "connecting to #{@baseurl}" open(@baseurl, :proxy => nil).read end able_to_connect = true And execute facter, you will see it try to connect multiple times. Normally this isn't a huge deal as the timeout is 0.2 seconds for each failed connection. However, do to FACT-716, some windows systems take 21 seconds for each failed connection. 0 ~/work/facter (2.2.0) $ env FACTER_virtual=xen bundle exec facter connecting to http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/ connecting to http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/ connecting to http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/ connecting to http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/ connecting to http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/ connecting to http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/ connecting to http://169.254.169.254/latest/user-data/ connecting to http://169.254.169.254/latest/user-data/ connecting to http://169.254.169.254/latest/user-data/ architecture => x86_64 domain => local facterversion => 2.2.0 ... virtual => xen Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.4#6159-sha1:44eaede) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
