Yum : Operation too slow. Less than 1000 byt es/sec transferred the last 30 seconds


  • First thing to try is the usual
    yum clean all

  • You might be running 3rd party repositories and do not have yum-plugin-priorities installed.
    This could compromise your system, so please install and configure yum-plugin-priorities.

  • You could also try the following:


yum --disableplugin=fastestmirror update.




  • minrate This sets the low speed threshold in bytes per second. If the server is sending data slower than this for at least timeout' seconds, Yum aborts the connection. The default is1000'.




  timeout Number of seconds to wait for a connection before timing out. Defaults to 30 seconds. This may be too short of a time for extremely overloaded sites.




You can reduce minrate and/or increase timeoute. Just add/edit these parameters in /etc/yum.conf [main] section. For example:
[main]
...
minrate=1
timeout=300

Saltstack and Vault integration

First install and configure vault using this tutorial: https://apassionatechie.wordpress.com/2017/03/05/hashicorp-vault/ Use the latest version of vault. Then install salt using the steps given here: https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/topics/installation/ If you face any issues then refer these links: https://apassionatechie.wordpress.com/2017/07/31/salt-issues/ https://apassionatechie.wordpress.com/2017/08/03/salt-stack-formulas/ Now let's integrate vault and salt so that we can access vault secrets from inside salt state. First let's add some key values into our vault. vault write secret/ssh/user1 password="abc123" Then you can check it by reading: vault read secret/ssh/user1 To allow salt to access your secrets you must firstly create a policy as follows: salt-policy.hcl [code] path "secret/*" { capabilities = ["read", "list"] } path "auth/*" { capabilities = ["read", "list","sudo",...

How to grep the output of cURL?

curl writes the output to stderr, so redirect that and also suppress the progress: curl - v -- silent https :// google . com / 2 >& 1 | grep expire The reason why  curl  writes the information to stderr is so you can do: curl <url> | someprgram  without that information clobbering the input of  someprogram It is possible to use  --stderr -  as parameter, to redirect the output from stderr (default) to stdout. With this option you also should use  --silent  to suppress the progress bar. $ curl - v -- silent https :// google . com / -- stderr - | grep expire * expire date : 2015 - 09 - 01 00 : 00 : 00 GMT
