Hi, Recently, I''ve had some nodes show as ''unresponsive'' in dashboard. ''puppet kick'' from the puppetmaster fails with exit code 3 (already running). Same thing if I run puppet locally. On the servers, the puppet process is running but the logs show no activity since the last run. A simple restart solves the problem but it comes back later. I found a bug report but it was specific to a kernel version. Here, the problematic nodes have a variety of kernel and OS versions : - SLES 11, puppet 2.7.14, kernel 2.6.32.12 - OpenSUSE 12.1, puppet 2.7.14, kernel 3.1.0 - OpenSUSE 11.1, puppet 2.7.6, kernel 2.6.27.7 - Debian 5, puppet 2.7.6, kernel 2.6.26 Puppetmaster is running on Debian 6, puppet 2.7.18, kernel 2.6.32-5-amd64. I''ve been changing stuff in Puppet this week, so I suppose it''s related. But I can''t figure out what. I added the ''listen'' directive to be able to use ''puppet kick'', which works fine. And I configured Puppet to use Dashboard as an ENC, which works fine too. Below is my puppet.conf (same on the master and the nodes), in case I made an obvious mistake. If you guys have any idea what could cause this...
