Dear puppet masters, I''m having frequent timeout errors reported from my puppet clients in syslog: Jun 27 01:23:41 nc82 puppetd[9089]: Could not call fileserver.describe: #<RuntimeError: HTTP-Error: 408 Request Timeout > Jun 27 01:23:41 nc82 puppetd[9089]: (//Node[nctest_webserver]/Nc_webserver[nc_webserver]/webserver/apache/File[/etc/apache2/aze/access/htpasswd_translators]/source) Could not describe /conf/apache/access/htpasswd_translators: HTTP-Error: 408 Request Timeout Jun 27 01:23:41 nc82 puppetd[9089]: (//Node[nctest_webserver]/Nc_webserver[nc_webserver]/webserver/apache/File[/etc/apache2/aze/access/htpasswd_translators]/ensure) No specified sources exist Jun 27 01:23:41 nc82 puppetd[9089]: (//Node[nctest_webserver]/Nc_webserver[nc_webserver]/webserver/apache/File[/etc/apache2/aze/access/htpasswd_translators]/ensure) No specified sources exist Jun 27 01:23:41 nc82 puppetd[9089]: (//Node[nctest_webserver]/Nc_webserver[nc_webserver]/webserver/apache/File[/etc/apache2/aze/access/htpasswd_translators]/source) No specified sources exist Do you know what this error message means, what causes it, and how I could handle it? Ideally, Puppet would only issue the first message so that I can filter out "408 Request Timeout", and skip this source to avoid the next errors that are not helpful at all. The specified sources *do* exist, it''s just that Puppet timed out requesting it. Note my clients request the Puppet file server through the Internet, ie on the WAN.
