I really wish there was a public repo for ZMQ3 and PyZMQ 13.1.0 because I don't want to have maintain my own RPM's for PyZMQ for both i386 and 圆4. It is early days still, but I have yet to loose any minions since getting ZMQ3 onto my CentOS 5 machines. I was getting library incompatibilities until I had the latest version of PyZMQ. There is a public repo for ZMQ3, but none for a version of PyZMQ that supports ZMQ3 on CentOS.

I eventually found some time to build my own 32-bit and 64-bit RPM's for PyZMQ 13.1.0 which was the limiter before. I tried using a cron job on the master which did a test.ping ever 5 minutes to all devices as one way to do a poor man's keep alive, but my minions would still go offline occasionally. We run 20 odd CentOS 5 machines and without ZMQ3 installed with its ability to configure TCP Keep-Alive all these machines go offline after some time. Ok, I think I might have a solution for my Linux machines. Master on CentOS ~]# salt -versions-report Why do I keep loosing my connection with the minions? I have configured a TCP keepalive of 60 seconds because of the NAT'ing for them. Some of these servers are on the other side of a WAN connection. I have a cron job which restarts the service on my minions ever hour. I can also get at random times 20 clients not responding, but am not right now. I did a test.ping I had handful not responding.
