Puppet users - Sep 2013 - Service refresh gets scheduled and swp files

Hi,
 I have two issues with my puppet.
*1*- When I change the config the service on the agent side implement the 
configuration change but the restart/reload gets scheduled and after 15 or 
20 minutes it is executed, however the agent time to get conffig from 
server is 180 seconds. Followings are the logs 
*(/Stage[main]/Nginx/Service[nginx]) Triggered ''refresh'' from
2 events*
*Finished catalog run in 1089.33 seconds*
*
*
*
*
file {"/etc/nginx/":
source => "puppet:///files/nginx/nginx/",
recurse => true,
ensure => "present",
require => Package[''nginx''],
}
The configuration is as follow.
service {''nginx'':
ensure=>running,
restart=> "/etc/init.d/nginx reload",
subscribe=>File["/etc/nginx/"],
}

*2*- And one more issue is if someone opens the file and edit it on the 
puppet server (if editing takes longer time), then sometimes the .swp file 
gets copied to puppet agent machine !!
Does anyone have the solutions for these problems !

Hi,
1st issue :
   From the logs, it is clear that there are 2 events which triggers *
Service[nginx].
*Means there are 2 files which triggers *Service[nginx] *and when the 2nd 
file configuration changes are completed, it restart the service.
So it may be possible that the second file takes 15-20 minutes after 1st 
file changes applied. 

2nd issue:
  whenever we edit some file, it creates .swp file in the same folder.
So when you are editing the file, which takes long time, and if you execute 
"puppet agent" on agent before completion of editing, then the swap
file
gets copied.
In your case, have you set "runinterval" in puppet.conf?
Because of the runinterval, "puppet agent" gets execute on agent at
the
interval of "runinterval" 
As you are transferring the folder "/etc/nginx/", the swap file also
gets
copied.
Solution is : Either increase the "runinterval" so that, "puppet
agent"
executes after complete editing of file.
Or just transfer the files in folder, instead of complete folder.

This is excessive. I advise to try and cut down your catalog run time.
What''s taking your agent so long? Is your master swamped?

The --evaltrace switch to the agent can be helpful in locating time wasters.

What Sneha said: Don''t use recursive directory synchronisation.

Failing that, there is an exclude option for the file type to keep
puppet from syncing .swp files etc., you have to find a fitting
expression though.

HTH,

Could you/anyone tell me if a file gets deleted on the puppet master why 
does it still appear on the puppet agent, only this delete operation 
doesn''t seems be  executing !!
Any ideas ?

Hi,
  Add purge => true in your file resouce.
You can try this :->
file {"/etc/nginx/":
source => "puppet:///files/nginx/nginx/",
ensure => "directory",
recurse => true,
purge => true,
require => Package[''nginx''],
}
This will manage the deletion of files on client if you delete file on
server.

Hi,
 My both problems have been solved. I instead of using the pessenger 
services started using the *WEBrick web services*. When I stopped the
*puppetmaster
service and started the apache2 service (port 8140)* things went like 
rocket !!
Second issue with the .swp file went away when I added the following 
parameter,
*ignore  => ".*.swp",*
