Hi all, My current conf splits 188 clients execution in one hour, and puppet runs as a cron job. My server (2cpu 2 GB RAM) runs with mongrel (with 8 puppetmasterd) and this conf works fine.
We'd like puppet to run clients all at same time (force a change, i.e.), so we're testing several things. (Previous conf do not support massive execution). First and most important, is moving our server to a better host: 4cpus 8GB RAM. We also run mongrel there, but now with 4 puppetmasterd, so each one has its own cpu. With first server, we could run up to 40 clients at one time, now, 135. So we're improving. The error in the nodes where put did not run is: err: Connection timeout calling puppetmaster.getconfig: execution expired err: Could not retrieve catalog: Connection Timeout warning: Not using cache on failed catalog **What step of http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PuppetInternals gives this error? Compiling? It's not clear for me, I see no transfer action in that schema. We have no network errors. so, inorder to avoid this error, our first idea was an increment of timeout var in both sides, cleint and server: # How long the client should wait for the configuration to be retrieved # before considering it a failure. This can help reduce flapping if too # many clients contact the server at one time. # The default value is '120'. server: # puppetmasterd --genconf|grep timeout configtimeout = 360 client: # puppetd --genconf|grep timeout configtimeout = 360 but then we get more errors! only 1 client is able to run its conf. Does it make sense for anyone? What other tunning could we test in order to reduce connection timeouts? server: # rpm -qa|grep puppet puppet-0.24.7-4.el5 puppet-server-0.24.7-4.el5 # rpm -qa|grep mongrel rubygem-mongrel-1.0.1-6.el5 client: # rpm -qa|grep puppet puppet-0.24.7-4.el4.x86_64 TIA, Arnau --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
