[Puppet Users] Problem while Installing software (agent) from puppetmaster to clients

I had installed puppet master and client on two different machines. machine 
A has puppet master and machine B has client. both are centos6 64 bit 
machines.
Machine B (client) is successfully connected to master (machine A). My aim 
is to install New Relic agent (server monitorinig tool) on different 
clients. I had installed new relic agent on machine A and trying to build a 
module so that I can deploy new relic agent remotely to my clients. right 
now I have only one client but there can be n number of clients.

steps carried out on puppetmaster Machine A

a) I had created a new module mcollective under /etc/puppet/modules 
directory. 

 under manifests, I had created a init.pp with the follwoing contents

#Module: mcollective
#
# Class: mcollective
# Description:
# This class does it all.
#
# Files:
# /etc/yum.repos.d/newrelic.repo
#
#
class mcollective {
$my_repo = ''newrelic_repo''
 if $my_repo { include "mcollective::${my_repo}" }
$my_install = ''install''
 if $my_install { include "mcollective::${my_install}" }
}

class mcollective::newrelic_repo {
file { ''/etc/yum.repos.d/newrelic.repo'':
 owner => "root",
 group => "root",
 mode => 644,
 source => ''puppet:///modules/mcollective/newrelic.repo'',
}
}

class mcollective::install {
exec { ''Installing newrelic-repo'':
 command => ''yum -y install newrelic-repo*'',
 timeout => 600,
 }
}

b)  I had also copied newrelic.repo from /etc/yum.repos.d/newrelic.repo to 
/etc/puppet/modules/manifests

c) under files diretcory, I had created sites.pp as 

import ''mcollective''

node ''basenode'' {
include mcollective
include mcollective::newrelic_repo
include mcollective::install
}

node ''WA19487ORACLE01'' inherits basenode {
license_key => ''d15ff577e5f27e071fe9b2d6809b9f2950fe87d1'',
}
d)  here I have called module and passed the license_key for the node.
e) I had restarted my puppetmaster(machine A) and puppet (machine B). when 
I checked /varlog/messages/ of machine A and machine B, new reliec agent is 
not getting deployed on machine B (clinet).
 
f)  my client is not able to retervie the catalog from puppet master. it 
throws following error  when i run puppet agent --test on clinet I am 
getting the result as
[root@WA19487ORACLE01 ~]# puppet agent --test
notice: Ignoring --listen on onetime run
info: Retrieving plugin

please post your suggestions to help me out.

Re: [Puppet Users] Problem while Installing software (agent) from puppetmaster to clients

Hi,

there''s a number of problems with your approach. Have you done any
simple deployment tasks using puppet to get you started? I advise to get
very familiar with the basics before trying a more involved management
operation such as newrelic installation.

This is fine so far.

Why is the module called mcollective? Should it not be called newrelic
instead?

Putting the class names into variables does not strike me as really
benefitting. And it does break the KISS principle.

That''s all right.

With puppet, you should use exec as little as possible. Instead, try

package { "newrelic-sysmond": ensure => installed }

This won''t work until the repo has been created, so tell puppet about
the order:

package { "newrelic-sysmond":
  ensure => installed,
  require => Class["newrelic::repo"],
}
> b)  I had also copied newrelic.repo from /etc/yum.repos.d/newrelic.repo

This won''t work. If you want to make a file available using file {
name:
source => ... }, it needs to be put into an appropriate files tree, such
as /etc/puppet/modules/newrelic/files/...
> c) under files diretcory, I had created sites.pp as

Importing modules is deprecated. I advise to not even bother with the
import statement.

That''s fine.

No. No, you haven''t.

For one thing, the above is a syntax error. In a node block, there can
only be resource declarations such as

include newrelic
host { "localhost": ... }
file { "/etc/motd": ... }

etc.

I think what you are thinking of is a construct such as this:

node ''WA19487ORACLE01'' inherits basenode {
  class { "newrelic::install":
    license_key => "...";
  }
}
> e) I had restarted my puppetmaster(machine A) and puppet (machine B).

When developing puppet manifest, use these commands on your client node:

puppet agent --test --noop

If the output is satisfactory, follow that up with

puppet agent --test

to make puppet apply the necessary changes.

What is in your /etc/puppet/puppet.conf on the client node?

What is your master node''s FQDN and what is the CN of its certificate?

Re: [Puppet Users] Problem while Installing software (agent) from puppetmaster to clients

Thanks frank for providing me help..

I have made few changes in my configuration files. earlier there was also a 
major problem, puppet client is not able to retrieve catalog from master 
but now my puppet cleint is able to retrieve catalog from master.
 my init.pp is as follows:
#Module: newrelic
 #
 # Class: newrelic
 # Description:
 # This class does it all.
 #
 # Files:
 # /etc/yum.repos.d/newrelic.repo
 #
 #
 class newrelic {
 $my_repo = ''newrelic_repo''
  if $my_repo { include "newrelic::${my_repo}" }
 $my_install = ''install''
  if $my_install { include "newrelic::${my_install}" }
 }
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 class newrelic::newrelic_repo {
 file { ''/etc/yum.repos.d/newrelic.repo'':
  owner => "root",
  group => "root",
  mode => 644,
  source => ''puppet:///modules/newrelic/newrelic.repo'',
 }
 }

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 class newrelic::install {
   package { "newrelic-sysmond":
  ensure => installed,
  require => Class["newrelic::newrelic_repo"],
   }
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 node ''basenode'' {
    include newrelic
    include newrelic::newrelic_repo
    include newrelic::install
     }
   node ''WA19487ORACLE01'' inherits basenode {
  class { "newrelic::install":
    license_key => "...";
  }
}
-----------------------------------------------
 when I run puppet agent --test from my puppet client machine, I am able to 
get the error message as 

[root@WA19487ORACLE01 yum.repos.d]# puppet agent --test

right now newrelic.repo is copied to /etc/yum.repos.d/, when I search for 
the package, it says its available but not installed.
what changes I need to do to get it installed.

Thanks

Re: [Puppet Users] Problem while Installing software (agent) from puppetmaster to clients

Hi,

this looks pretty good, although I cannot yet see how your module makes
use of the license key. Will probably need more work.

As to the problem at hand, the newrelic_repo class should also make sure
that the repo key (GPG) from newrelic is imported to yum so it will
accept their packages.

Basically, you want to teach puppet to do all the steps outlined here:
https://newrelic.com/docs/server/server-monitor-installation-redhat-and-centos
...in the correct order. It can be tricky to get certain operations
right (especially, enable puppet to tell if they have been completed in
an earlier run).

Good luck!

Felix

Re: [Puppet Users] Problem while Installing software (agent) from puppetmaster to clients

Thanks Frank for pointing abour the licence key.

I made few more changes in my  newrelic_repo file. i added
/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-NewRelic entry and
//etc/newrelic/nrsysmond.cfg which is present at master. now both these
files will be copied into my agent. now I dont have to pass the licence key
for new relic agent. when I run puppet agent --test on puppet client I am
getting this result

New relic package is deployed on my puppet cleint machine successfully and
