I can’t answer your question, but for what its worth - our Puppetmaster is 
doing reporting along with all kinds of other unrelated crap and it’s fine. 
Seriously, the thing sits idle. And this is an old box with 4 GB of memory. I 
wouldn’t worry about it.

We are using Passenger, but it was a proactive move. We didn’t see any load 
problems before we switched.

You can use the reportserver configuration option for your puppet
agents to configure them to submit their reports to some other puppet
master than the one they obtain their configuration from.  This will
effectively off load the report processing from the configuration
compilation.

Hope this helps,

[Puppet Users] Puppet report server

[Psyber]

I was looking into the reporting features in puppet today and realized
that though I want the reports I don't want to bog my puppetmasters
down with the task of generating the rrd and png files. Also I already
have a server set up to do reporting on various other things that
already has the space/CPU cycles and that's where everyone already
goes to look for information. Plus we are running multiple
puppetmasters and its a bit of a formula to figure out just what
client reports to which puppetmaster. Is there a way to peel off that
functionality to a separate centralized server?
