Hi All, I have entered the following statements to the /etc/puppet/ puppet.conf file on my puppet master server so reports will get forwarded to my puppet client that is also running the Puppet Dashboard. I made these entries exactly as the dashboard docs indicated, and I modified the external_node script to use the defined url instead of the localhost default. [main] node_terminus = exec external_nodes = /etc/puppet/bin/external_node reports = http, store reporturl = fedorahost.ocfl.net:3000/reports However, when I restart the puppet master daemon I get the errors below. Has anyone seen this problem before, and if so, can you possibly tell me how to fix it? When I comment out the entries I made in [main], the puppet master and puppet clients work perfectly. I believe that the connection refused and No route to host are spurious messages and not truly indicative of the problem.

You should get a webpage. I''m guessing that you don''t have Dashboard started.

RE: [Puppet Users] Send Reports to Puppet Dashboard
Hello Patrick, I have the puppet-dashboard up and running and get the gui. What I am seeing there is that none of my clients(nodes) are reporting. When I click on nodes the dashboard lists all of my nodes but also states each has not reported. What I am trying to get working is that the puppet clients report to the dashboard. Thanks for the tips, and if you have another please send it to me.

Re: RE: [Puppet Users] Send Reports to Puppet Dashboard
Hey.
You need to do two things, both of which should be in the install
instructions - so please file a bug if they are not, or are unclear.
The first is to turn on the report option on your clients so they send data
to the master. (Kiterally, report=true in the agent config)
The second is to set "reporturl" to
"http://dashboard.url:3000/reports", and
"reports=http" in the master config.
Regards,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
I have already done the setup which you mention below. I followed the
puppet-dashboard configuration guide to the tee,
which is why I''m surprised that this feature is not working. I have
verified that the puppet.conf entries on the client and
master are correct. I''m wondering if this problem is a bug? Thanks for
your help.

Well, I can assure you that HTTP reports going in to dashboard *can* work, so while I can''t rule out a bug it isn''t as gross as never working at all.> At this point, I don''t think you''re going to get much help unless you posta lot more from your puppet.conf files.

This is pretty much on the money. Can you post the config bits and the logs from master and dashboard so we can see what they have to say about it?

RE: [Puppet Users] Send Reports to Puppet Dashboard
Patrick, This is what I have setup in the puppet.conf files on the master and client. Both servers are running puppet 2.6.4 On the Master in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf [master] reports = http, store reporturl = http://fedorahost.ocfl.net:3000/reports node_terminus = exec external_nodes = /etc/puppet/bin/external_node in external_node I have changed the localhost default to: BASE = "http://fedorahost.ocfl.net:3000" On the client in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf [agent] report = true Thanks for your help.

If your hosts do not appear to be reporting, and you''re seeing some background tasks pending (top left in the puppet dashboard web gui), then you probably need to start the "delayed_job" tasks on your puppet dashboard server in order to process the reports. Run this: *env RAILS_ENV=production /usr/share/puppet-dashboard/script/delayed_job -p dashboard -n 4 -m start* where -n 4 refers to the number of cores. I added this line to /etc/init.d/puppet-dashboard so it gets fired after dashboard starts, and so I don''t forget to run it. Not sure if this is the best method, but it works for me. See http://docs.puppetlabs.com/dashboard/manual/1.2/bootstrapping.html#starting-and-managing-delayed-job-workers.
