I can't seem to introspect newly added nodes in a large cluster
===============================================================
With larger clusters, the act of synchronizing DHCP for introspection and
hardware discovery can take quite a bit of time because of the operational
overhead. What happens is we spend so much time trying to perform
the update that the processes stay continuously busy, which can have a side
effect such as impacting the ability to successfully introspect nodes
which were very recently added to the cluster.
To remedy this, try setting ``[pxe_filter]sync_period`` to be less frequent,
i.e. a larger value to enable conductors to have time between running syncs.
.. note::
It is anticipated that as part of the 2024.1 release, Ironic will have
this functionality also merged into Ironic directly as part of the
merge of the ``ironic-inspector`` service into ``ironic`` itself. This
merger will result in a slightly more performant implementation, which may
necessitate re-evaluation and tuning of the ``[pxe_filter]sync_period``
parameter.
