[chef] RE: Re: Couch database growing.. Can't compact (Performance)

["Van Fossan,Randy" < >]

Well, I finally got the compact and the views successfully.   However, when 
clicking on Status, it can take 3-5 minutes for the results to return in the 
webui.  Ii also drives the CPU on the chef-server to 50-60%.    We only have 
about 80 or so clients, so I am a bit concerned. 

The Chef server is running as a VM with 2 CPU's ad 2 GB of RAM and the 
Virtual server is not overloaded.

I need to look into tuning this a bit as we have a large shop (3500+ 
servers).   Anyone have any tips?

Randy
