puppet.conf splay option misplaced in puppet4
Description
Hi,
I just figured out that the “splay” puppet option, set by theforeman/puppet module is “wrong” for puppet4 : this is set in the [agent] section.
However, even if I was unable to find any clue in the puppet docuentation, I just found out that “puppet config print” showed me a “false” value when splay was in the [agent] section, and true when in [main].
This is currently (puppet module version 7.0.2) set in puppet::agent::config, but I believe this should be set in puppet::config where the main section is configured.
(I was hit by clients rushing at the puppetserver after I tried to solve a load issue by restarting all agents... and this off course made things even worse)
Regards

update #1 : even if adding the splay option into the main section seems to work better (but I'm not even convinced that's the case .. I manually forced "a splay restart" of my agents using a sleep $RANDOM % 900), it then also causes the manual "puppet apply" subsequent runs to hang apparently because of that splay option... so after all I'm not convinced there is any bug in the modules...
I'm trying to find a way to dump the agent config as it seems to me puppet config print only prints the global config (but not that wich is specific to the agent)...

Is this still an issue?

Hi,
I think so (puppet mod version : 7.1.1, puppetserver-5.1.3-1.el7.noarch) :
# puppet config print splay --section master false # puppet config print splay false # puppet config print splay --section agent true
I don’t know if there’s a way to query the running puppetserver for its real config to be 100% sure about this…
