I don't know how helpful this would be but for now I think I found a "workaround" of sorts for my small environment.
I commented out the following in my puppet.conf... facts_terminus = inventory_active_record dbadapter = mysql dbname = puppet_inv dbuser = puppet_inv dbpassword = cabb0ac9ed925867f93587ccfb147ebf15dec8a3 dbserver = localhost dbsocket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock I got rid of all that and after 2 days of puppetmaster running I only see a few entries when doing "lsof | grep puppetmas" rather than 100s. I'm also not doing stored configs but I think those lines above were still the problem as it was puppet interfacing with MySQL. What potential benefit would be lost from not using MySQL for "facts_terminus" ? - Trey On May 24, 7:17 pm, Todd Zullinger <t...@pobox.com> wrote: > Nathan Clemons wrote: > >http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3238is the issue I was > > thinking of, but 3693 is probably a duplicate of that. > > > These bugs have been open a really long time.
