[Puppet Users] Any benefit with running async_storeconfigs
Hi all, I currently am using puppet with storeconfigs and am quite happy with the results. I also see that there is now the option of having async_storeconfigs. What I''m wondering about is the following: 1. What benefit is there to running async_storeconfigs over storeconfigs? 2. In what scenario''s would async provide a benefit to standard storeconfigs? 3. What are the typical things to look out for when running async_storeconfigs? Thanks, Matt Delves -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

The async comes into play because puppetmasterd asynchronously updates the queue instead of performing the DB updates and (from what I understand) essentially blocking catalog requests until they complete. -scott -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
