Description

It seems that the fact import from hosts with many NICs (Solaris) causes the foreman processes to run amoc with CPU and RAM - all passenger instances consume 100% CPU and just grow in memory until the OS starts swapping. As a consequence foreman performs worse and gets even slower when importing and so on..
My suspicion is that it is the puppet_fact_parser.rb that might be at fault.
Not sure if the CPU consumption is triggered for a single host with many NIC's or when many hosts with many nic's gets their facts imported in a short timeinterval.

I will attach a facter json output from a host with many nics (there are hosts with 254 ip's, so fact output might be modified to match).

Additional output - Passenger under httpd without any special tweaking done:
