I have several hundred nodes I''m migrating to being managed by Puppet. We do have a handful of older servers that can''t run Puppet (RH8 etc), and won''t be upgraded any time soon, unfortunately. I''d like to be able to have an ''artificial'' node created with accurate inventory data displayed in Puppet Dashboard. I realize that the inventory information accuracy will be dependent on my statically generated yaml content (uploaded via REST API), and I''m fine with that. I do have a fully functioning server with CentOS 6 / Puppet 2.7.11-2 / Puppet Dashboard 1.2.6-1. It''s just this last bit that I''m trying to sort out. What I''ve been trying is: puppet cert --generate test.example.org puppet agent --certname test.example.org -tv # this is run on Puppet master as part of the node being displayed in the Dashboard curl -k -X PUT -H ''Content-Type: text/yaml'' --data-binary @/root/test.example.org.yaml https://localhost:8140/production/facts/test.example.org As far as I can tell, these steps should work, but after step 2, any certificate generated is immediately revoked. Can anyone offer any insight or better recommendations on how to accomplish this? Brian Green -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
