Puppet users - May 2012 - Is there a way to limit the number of agents that can run concurrently?

Hi all,

I''ve set up a Puppet environment with a master managing around 80
agents. I would like to set a limit on the number of agents that can
be performing puppet runs at any given moment...so, for example, if
there are already 3 puppet runs ongoing, the 4th agent should be put
on hold until one of the 3 runs finishes.

Is there a way to configure this? It would be perfect if it can be set
within node groups.

Thanks,
Karim

For a similar scenario I use mcollective 
<http://puppetlabs.com/mcollective/introduction/>with puppetd
agent<http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/mcollective-plugins/wiki/AgentPuppetd>
and
puppet
commander<http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/mcollective-plugins/wiki/ToolPuppetcommander>

It will evenly spread the agent''s runs in the given interval with the
given
concurrency.

Thanks a bunch. Seems like I have some research to do :-)
