Very slow puppet agent runs on empty/noop manifests (v3.2.1)

[Martin Langhoff]

This is a VM with 1GB RAM and almost nothing running on it. It takes
10s to read a manifest that defines one node, one class, and checks
whether puppet package is installed...

Where is all the time going? Is something wrong?

Are you running into the Socket.gethostbyname(Socket.gethostname) issue pointed out by Wil Cooley a few days ago?

  https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/puppet-dev/z09Nkk18tRE

If so there is potential /etc/hosts change in that thread that might sort out your issue.

And indeed it is. Funny thing, the hostname resolves fine and quick

# time host rl01m-puppet
rl01m-puppet.remote-learner.net has address 204.13.103.68

real 0m0.025s
user 0m0.009s
sys 0m0.009s

I am guessing the timeout is on a reverse resolution.

thank you!
