Puppet / Improvement PUP-11605
config option to use splay after the initial run
Issue Type: Improvement Improvement
Assignee: Unassigned

Reporter: Pat Riehecky

For my site it would be helpful if I could run the puppet service immediately and, only after the first run of the client, have the splay values used for follow up by the daemon runs.  Something like `splay_initial_run`  have it default to `true` so the existing behavior is preserved, but can be shifted a bit.

Re: config option to use splay after the initial run

Hi Pat, thanks for creating this ticket.

I'm not sure that I understand how this feature request differs from how puppet typically works after the daemon is initialized. For a brand new agent checking into the server for the first time, the daemon will attempt to request a catalog from the configured server the next minute after the daemon has started; this configuation it gets from the server could have a splay setting, which will cause the agent to restart and splay all subsequent runs. This workflow can differ based on if the server is configured to auto-sign or not.

At this time the team is not actively making changes in this area of the code base, but PRs are always considered and we will work with you to get this functionality in if you submit a PR. For now, I will be closing this ticket but feel free to reopen if you create a pull request.
