Description

On the rudder server, the cf-promises is terribly slow with hundreds of nodes.
coredumb reported 14 secondes with 77 nodes
2.37user 1.08system 0:14.64elapsed 23%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 24688maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+22969minor)pagefaults 0swaps

I could reproduce it locally, with a large number of node

It is linked to the use of host2ip in the trustkeyfrom, allowconnect and allowallconnect, which seems suboptimally implemented, and I'm not sure we need it: these entries accept hostname, so why do we use host2ip ??

Is duplicate of Rudder - Bug #4442: cf-serverd looks up reverse DNS for ALL nodes at start upReleasedJonathan CLARKE2014-02-05Actions

Documentation says it accept either hostname, or IP
But there no point into duplicating both

I don't really understand why using host2ip it is so slow, but it clearly has no use. Tested without it on 2.6, and it doesn't break anything.
Testing in 2.4

ok, in 2.4 it is not mandatory either.

i'll remove them for the promises generation

Oh, I forgot to explain the impact:
a long cf-promises causes a long promises generation !

This approach is not valid, as I explained in the Pull Request (https://github.com/Normation/rudder-techniques/pull/181). It is mandatory, at least in CFEngine 3.4, to have the IP addresses of nodes in cf-serverd config - hostnames are not sufficient. Therefore, we can't remove the use of host2ip.

However, maybe there's another way to avoid cf-promises spending time on these host2ip calls? Possibly by making the list IPs to accept come from elsewhere, a module maybe, that does the reverse lookups? Or by generating the list of IPs from Rudder's inventory of the machine, with a list of all IPs that fit in the allowed networks?
