Tuning parameters

Configure tuning parameters to customize your PE service settings for optimum performance and hardware resource utilization.

Specify tuning parameters in Hiera for the best scalability and consistency. You can learn About Hiera in the Puppet documentation.

If you must use the PE console, add the parameter to the appropriate infrastructure node group using one of the following methods:

  • Specify puppet_enterprise::profile parameters (including java_args, shared_buffers, and work_mem) as parameters of their class.
  • Specify all other tuning parameters as configuration data.

How to configure PE explains the different ways you can configure PE parameters.
