[Puppet Users] Exit status of "puppet agent --test"
Does a manual puppet agent run (puppet agent --test) have a defined exit status to indicate if errors were detected? This is not described by the built-in help. In two test cases, I have only seen a return code of 2. Both runs made some changes. One had warnings, the other didn't. -- Chris Ritson (School of Computing and NUIT Cybersecurity team) Newcastle University, NE1 7RU Tel: +44(0)1912080073 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

[Puppet Users] Puppet agent memory usage on the master
I've been trying for a while to work out why my puppet agent run on the puppet master was consuming so much time and memory. With a single webrick master running puppet puppet-3.6.2-1.el6 and serving about 100 clients, I was seeing agent runs on the master of the order of 4000 seconds. I was keeping, but not making use of the agent reports, so the puppet master was tidying these away after they reached the an age of 36 hours to avoid wasting disk space. Agent runs were quite often getting OOM errors and being killed as this was on a virtual machine with 2G of memory. Increasing this limit and watching the agent run grow it became clear that stored state was part of the problem. Memory consumption was sometimes reaching 3G. In the end, even after abandoning report generation and allowing the remaining report files to be tidied out of existence, I was still seeing a large memory footprint and long delays when the puppet run appeared to be doing nothing or saving its previous state. Looking in the saved state.yaml file, I saw that there were still many hundreds of references to report files and directories that used to exist. Only when I finally removed this file altogether, taking the risk that a few services would be restarted when they shouldn't be, did my puppet run get back to a reasonable time and memory footprint. It seems from this that the puppet agent is reading and preserving a lot of historic state information, even when this is no longer of any use. Is this a bug/feature? Is this something I could/should have been able to avoid with better knowledge of puppet's configuration options?

[Puppet Users] Memory sizing (or leak) in master. [Tkt: 115440]
Am I being too optimistic? Running a centos 6.5 virtual machine as puppet master, on version 3.4.3, I am frequently running out of memory. The virtual machine only has 0.75Gig of allocated memory. It holds 225 certificates, but only about 130 of these agent machines are regularly active. Mostly they run the puppet agent from cron once an hour at a random time or with a random splay from within puppet if the start time is not already randomised. How much memory would be normal for a setup of this size, and how is it likely to scale as we add more client agents?

[Puppet Users] /tmp and 1777 mode
I'm new to anything more than very basic puppet. I need to create a
(differently named) working directory which like /tmp has 1777 mode
and is also a mounted file system. I need to avoid the underlying
mount point picking up these permissions (it needs to be 755). How can
I arrange this with puppet. As I understand it both my
file ... { ensure directory }
recipies need to refer to the same directory name.
Chris Ritson.
