Re: [Puppet Users] Doubt about lots of persistent connections

2014-01-15 Thread Dick Davies
Those connections don't take much in the way of resources on the ActiveMQ server
(you might need to up the number of open files the activemq process is
able to access).

I'm not sure what you mean about non-persistent connections; are you
talking about
agents periodically connecting to check? i'd expect the continual
connection setup/teardown
to put more load on the MQ server that 1000 or so idle connections
(with maybe the occasional
keepalive). STOMP is pretty lightweight.

[Puppet Users] Doubt about lots of persistent connections

2014-01-15 Thread Dani GutiƩrrez Porset
Hi community,
in a testing PE installation I see each agent maintains a persistent 
collection to ActiveMQ process in master server, to be used by mcollective 
in a push (vs pull) scheme.

As it's not so sure that one master is sending lots of petitions to agents, 
which are the advantages of this schema instead of non-persistent 
connections, specially for the case that there are lots of agents? (well, 
maybe this is a question more for ActiveMQ than Puppet, but...)

Could anyone tell about the hardware (mainly RAM) for the master server 
(with ActiveMQ) supporting 500 or 1000 Puppet agents?

  Thanks a lot in advance
