Puppet users - Apr 2012 - trouble w/ Foreman as ENC, agents and environments

Hi,

I have a Puppet Enterprise (2.0) puppetmaster running with Foreman,
and having trouble getting it working as an External Node Classifier.
In short, if I manually add a test client into site.pp, it will
retrieve the proper catalog / classes, but I would like to avoid
having to do that.  I''m also using environments (production/testing/
development) as well, but think I have most of this configured
correctly -

on the puppetmaster''s puppet.conf - I do have:

node_terminus  = exec
external_nodes = /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/node.rb

node.rb does exist and is owned by pe-puppet, executable, etc. I''ve
verified I can view
the yaml for a test client using the script.

and I have stanzas for each environment in the master''s puppet.conf -
[production]
modulepath=/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/production/modules
[testing]
...etc..

and the client''s puppet.conf has   :
environment = testing  under the agent stanza.

Running:   puppet agent --test --environment testing
will run, but doesn''t apply any classes.

I''m not sure what else I may be missing? Thanks in advance.

Hi Ohad,

Sorry, I''m not really seeing anything useful in the logs, I can see
about turning up verbosity, etc.

node.rb is owned by puppetmaster user and not root -

The ownership / permissions are :
-r-xr-xr-x. 1 pe-puppet pe-puppet 705 Apr 27 13:24 node.rb

and I was able to run /etc/puppetmaster/puppet/node.rb as the pe-
puppet user and retrieve the yaml for a client.

thanks again

Just to make sure, when you run node.rb does it return foreman_env in
the parameters stanza, the expected classes and a proper reference to
the foreman_env in the environment stanza?

Cheers,
Brian

Hmm. Are you definitely using the node.rb from here?
http://theforeman.org/projects/foreman/wiki/External_Nodes

Also that doesn''t 100% look like the output of Foreman''s ENC,
are you
sure your node.rb is pointing at Foreman, including the correct port?

Thanks,
Brian

Hi,

Yeah, that''s the script I''ve grabbed.  Only difference(s) are,
I''m
using  #!/opt/puppet/bin/ruby (embedded ruby
shipped w/ Puppet Enterprise), and have the script located in /etc/
puppetlabs/puppet/node.rb - but that''s reflected
in the puppetmaster''s  puppet.conf.   external_nodes = /etc/puppetlabs/
puppet/node.rb

I''ve tried using:
foreman_url="http://puppet:3000"    (and puppet is in the
puppetmaster''s hosts file)
and also using
foreman_url="http://IP:3000"

Otherwise, that script is 100% identical.  One thing I probably should
have mentioned though, and could be causing me trouble? -
we are looking to migrate from an open source implementation which is
already up and running, to this Puppet Enterprise setup.  I had just
dumped the entire MySQL puppet DB from the open source install, and
restored it over on my PE setup.  All the puppet classes,
environments, etc. appear to be in Foreman, though nothing is getting
applied to my test node(s), unless I define them in site.pp, and
again, I can''t see anything wrong with how I''ve set it up as
an ENC.
The help is much appreciated.

thanks
