Puppet users - Nov 2012 - Puppet dashboard shows all hosts unresponsive

Hi guys,

I have a strange situation. I''ve got 1 dashboard MySQL DB accessed from
3
different dashboard hosts. Strangely enough, 2 of them show the right node 
statuses, and the third one just shows all nodes as unresponsive.

As far as I know, the status comes from the "nodes" table in the DB,
so how
can this happen? Is there some cache I need to clear? Is there another 
source for this information?

Dashboard version is 1.2.5.

Thanks!
Karim

The actual display of unresponsive nodes in dashboard is indeed based on 
the last time a node ran, but it''s controlled by a setting in
dashboard''s
settings.yaml file. Not sure what you''re on, but on centos, that would
be
/usr/share/puppet-dashboard/config/settings.yaml, and look for the 
no_longer_reporting_cutoff setting. If that''s set too low,
you''ll get a lot
of unresponsive nodes in dashboard.

Make sure that puppet-dashboard-workers service is running, otherwise all 
hosts will appear unresponsive and your pending tasks will keep increasing.
