Puppet

Hello,

Some more useful information I hope.

I tested this with 7 puppet clients running Fedora 8 and the server running 5 puppetmasterd processes on the server using --mongrel and going through nginx. The server was running Fedora 9.

Puppet was the RPM available from the distribution.

I can make this happen every time I try and run the above and I have not seen an end to the CPU usage after 20 mins when I had to kill the puppetmasterd processes on the server.

I hope this extra information is helpful, if you need anything else please let me know.

If there is anything more you need me to add to this please let me know.

• include puppetmasterd logs and clients logs in debug mode
• try to reproduce it with a webrick only test install
• try to reproduce with a simple config that someone else can run

Excellent, thanks for the feedback. I will get this information added on Monday or Tuesday.

Thanks again.

• strace the live process to find if it spends time in the kernel
• use gdb with a ruby extension to get a ruby stacktrace:
