Code deployment delay in Puppet Enterprise

If there’s a code deployment delay, such as 30 to 45 minutes, when previous deployments took less time, such as five to 10 minutes, you get timeouts and failed code deployments in Puppet Enterprise.

Version and installation information

PE version: All supported

Solution

Adjust the cache cleanup from one out of 10 code deployments to one out of 100 in PE. This means cache cleanup occurs from once every couple of hours to once every couple of days.

To adjust cache cleanup in PE, follow these steps:

1. In the code-manager.conf and below deploy-pool-size on the primary node, add: deploy-pool-cleanup-interval: 100
2. Restart the pe-puppetserver: systemctl restart pe-puppetserver
