Puppet users - Jun 2009 - puppet-server-0.24.8-1.el5.1 not writing logs

Hi all,

I''ve just updated my server to puppet-server-0.24.8-1.el5.1 (from epel)
and noticed that puppet-server stopped writing in its log:

# tail  -f /var/log/puppet/puppetmaster.log
Tue Jun 09 12:28:48 +0200 2009 Puppet (notice): Shutting down
Tue Jun 09 12:28:51 +0200 2009 Puppet (notice): Reopening log files

Tue Jun 09 12:28:52 +0200 2009 Puppet (notice): Starting Puppet server version

Tue Jun 09 12:29:55 +0200 2009 Puppet (notice): Shutting down
Tue Jun 09 12:29:56 +0200 2009 Puppet (notice): Reopening log files

I forced several client reconf (updated or not), but it does not write a
line!

Maybe the size of filE? not sure if 25 MB is too much for puppet:
# ls -lsah /var/log/puppet/puppetmaster.log
25M -rw-rw---- 1 puppet puppet 25M Jun  9 12:29 /var/log/puppet/puppetmaster.log

# lsof|grep puppet|grep log
puppetmas 30324    puppet    3w      REG        8,6 25543117  208207882
/var/log/puppet/puppetmaster.log
puppetmas 30324    puppet    6u      REG        8,6    28702  208207960
/var/log/puppet/masterhttp.log
puppetmas 30324    puppet    7u      REG        8,6    28702  208207960
/var/log/puppet/masterhttp.log
puppetmas 30324    puppet    8u      REG        8,6    28702  208207960
/var/log/puppet/masterhttp.log

Anyone did notice this behave before? I see nothing in mail archive.

TIA,
Arnau

Hi,

sorry, I forgot my conf:
# cat /etc/sysconfig/puppetmaster
PUPPETMASTER_LOG=/var/log/puppet/puppetmaster.log

# puppetmasterd --genconfig|grep -v "#"|grep log
    puppetdlog = /var/log/puppet/puppetd.log
    httplog = /var/log/puppet/http.log
    logdir = /var/log/puppet
    masterlog = /var/log/puppet/puppetmaster.log
    masterhttplog = /var/log/puppet/masterhttp.log
    railslog = /var/log/puppet/rails.log
    reports = rrdgraph,store,log

Cheers,
Arnau

Upgrade Facter to 1.5.5 and restart Puppet to resolve this issue. It''s 
caused by two bugs in Facter that cause Puppet to sit in an infinite loop.

Essentially, Facter hangs trying to read /proc/uptime and /proc/
virtual (on my XenU guests). You should try the new Facter 1.5.5
which has the fixes for these to see if that resolves the problem. This 
version is available in the EPEL Testing repo for both EL4 and EL5.

I actually had to manually fix all my servers because Puppet had
stopped working. Also, when upgrading Facter, make sure you restart
Puppet (if you''re running a daemon), otherwise you can also run into
problems I''ve discovered.

cYa,
Avi

Well, my clients could run...

and, most curious, when I tried a massive run (190 hosts) some logs
where written, but not all...

thank you, but I''m going to downgrade, I found some other issues with
my current conf when trying to update it:


svn: ''pre-commit'' hook failed with error output:

I have only changed one file from pressent to absent, and this error
just appeared. 

Must think about update.
