Hi there we have a puppetserver 6.4.0 which is currently handling about 450 clients. In terms of performance over our legacy 3.8 instance it is great - clearly clojure is faster than a rails app behind a web proxy :-) But we notice that when we hit approx. 90 established connection to TCP port 8140 any new client puppet-agent connections "hang" at this stage as seen from debug output:
Debug: Creating new connection for https://server.company.com:8140 Debug: Starting connection for https://server.company.com:8140 This isn't just waiting for a catalog to compile - it often sits there for minutes with no response. In fact if we reboot the puppet server thus clearing the connections the client then runs normally as expected - with just a small delay waiting for its catalog. I'm pretty sure this is not some OS / TCP stack limitation so wonder if there is some config which might be throttling this at the application level ? I hope approx. 450 clients is not the stage we need to start scaling to multiple catalog servers ?? Thanks for your help, Andy. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
