Puppet users - Mar 2013 - Agent nodes not appearing in Enterprise live management

Hi all,

First off, I''m very much a new user when it comes to Puppet, just
trying to
get my head around all that it can do so I''m assuming I''ve
missed something
extremely obvious.

I have a small setup consisting of three virtual machines on the same 
subnet who can all happily talk to each other and run puppet agent -t with 
no problems.

There is the master running the learning VM from their tutorial
[root@learn modules]# facter puppetversion
2.7.19 (Puppet Enterprise 2.7.0)

An agent (also running the learning VM in agent only mode:
[root@agent1 modules]# facter puppetversion
2.7.19 (Puppet Enterprise 2.7.0)

and a second agent which I''ve configured from scratch.
[root@agent2 modules]# facter operatingsystem operatingsystemrelease
operatingsystem => CentOS
operatingsystemrelease => 6.4
[root@agent2 modules]# facter puppetversion
3.1.1

While I know there are issues with running puppet 3.x.x with a 2.7.x 
version of Enterprise, I only seem to get warnings so far. 
My main problem is that I cannot see either agent under the Live Management 
portion of the Enterprise console running on the master. They appear as 
nodes everywhere else, but I cannot force a single run instance or query 
packages, users etc from the console.

Anyone have any ideas?
Steve

Have you used the Enterprise Installer on this machine or have you used the Open
Source version?
The Enterprise installer adds more functionality (facts, functions, modules) and
installs services (MCollective) which are required to use the Live Management
from PE.

Interesting that I didn''t have MCollective installed on either agent.
Is
there any other service that I need to get this live management to
"work"?
MCollective is installed on both now, just trying to trawl through the 
limited README to configure it.
I''m finding it perturbing that there''s not a huge amount of
documentation
on this (and what there is seems out of date), despite the age of the 
product.
