Hi, When something goes wrong during the installation of a node, it seems that there is no notification (in the server) that the installation fails. I am right ? How do you know that the node you just installed is correctly installed ? (I don''t find any information on this in puppetshow) Is there a way to rollback all changes when something fails ?

(I don''t find any information on this in puppetshow) > Is there a way to rollback all changes when something fails ?Usually you test the process a few times and then trust your tools :-P Seriously, though, there isn''t (to my knowledge) an established "best" way to monitor success/failure of Puppet runs; this isn''t due to a lack of capability. Rather, there are so *many* points where you can hook into puppet to monitor that many people roll their own solutions. We currently use the ''log'' report type, which sends the logging output of Puppet runs from the client to the server after every run. Then we just watch the server logs for problems. --Paul --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Is this a resource or a configuration parameter?

Paul: I pointed to the appropriate page:> Unless you have configured reporting, that is mostly true.
