Hi there! I´m trying to get my PuppetmasterDB running. Problem is, though I´m not getting any errors from the puppetmaster there is nothing stored in the database, not even tables are created. I tried "puppetmasterd --dbmigrate", didn´t help either. rails.log is kinda empty too.. Thing is: it kinda works anyway, there is just nothing stored in the DB - exported a user on host A,

(I know more questions... :-)) I know the default for puppetd is to check puppetmasterd every half hour, but my question does each puppetd check at the same time? Or does it depend when puppetd is started or like a cronjob does it run at the 1/2 hour and hour mark? Is there some randomness to the times they run? My point is if they all run at the same time then if you have a large amount of

...ommendation from luke. This discussion is to a follow up regarding bug#1955 "Could not find server puppet" - installation/configuration error". jamtur01''s last recommendation: Rather than renaming things try the certname option (see http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/ConfigurationReference). But let''s start from scratch - it''s too hard to work out what you''ve changed. 1. Create a new puppet.conf on the client - Don''t change any of the settings. 2. Delete any old client certificates on the client and master. 3. Restart puppetmasterd 4. Start puppe...

Hi all, i'' m trying to configure puppet to use rails with postgresql. I'' m having troubles to make it work. Got no error when running puppetmasterd but nothing is being populated in the DB.

Hello, Can I use wildcards on the node''s name/address? For example, I want something like this: node ''server-*.domain.com'' { .... } where ''*'' is a number. If this is not possible, there''s another way of reaching this behaviour? Thanks.

...t happen more than this often. Thus with the default half hour updates the proposed schedule would not have any effect and the maximum out of date time would be 30 minutes. You can however increase the poll time for puppetd by configuring the runinterval (http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/ConfigurationReference). Then you could use schedules to limit how often less volatile resources are checked. Another option for triggering a sync would be to use puppetrun, however this would require you to have the appropriate ssl certs distributed.

Forgive me if this has been discussed already (and please point me i the correct direction) But I have been trying to find a way to classify nodes in site.pp via webserver*.domain.com. Any hints? -Jason

Hi, I''m still writing my djbdns module, I came to the following design issue with master and slave tinydns. Normally there is no such master and slave distinction in djbdns: all tinydns instance are equal. Usually one instance on one host is considered the master on, which the RR are changed, and when you need to propagate them, you rsync the datas to the other hosts, where they will be

Guys, I seriously could not find this topic in the documentation. What do you do when you need to force puppetd hosts get the new settings from puppetmasterd? What I found was only sending USR1 signal to the client process in order to make it refresh its configuration from the master. But I find it a bit inconvenient for a large amount of hosts. There is also puppetrun which, if I understand

Folks, I have installed puppet my network and it works great .. I have configured it such a way that when I make changes in the server source fiels..it gets updated in teh puppet clients. As the document reads the puppet clients checks for any changes from the server every 30 mins. But is there is any opiton of changing this value to lesser time .. say 15 mins .. or is there opiton for the

Hi all, My current conf splits 188 clients execution in one hour, and puppet runs as a cron job. My server (2cpu 2 GB RAM) runs with mongrel (with 8 puppetmasterd) and this conf works fine. We''d like puppet to run clients all at same time (force a change, i.e.), so we''re testing several things. (Previous conf do not support massive execution). First and most important, is

I would like to have packages installed either in the early morning or whenever I manually choose to do so on a particular machine. I am trying to convert my existing configuration from cfengine so in that tool I had something like: packages: Hr03|ManualRun:: <package installation commands> This basically says to install packages if it''s either 3:00-3:59am or if

I''ve spent the last week or two poring over the documentation and setting up my first puppet environment, and while I''ve figured out how to do most of what I want to do with it, I have some questions that I haven''t been able to find answers for... * Can I match parts of a facter fact? In particular I have hostnames that include the environment as part of the

I had some questions come up today during the Puppet demo here: 1. Is there any way to apply different intervals to different classes? For example, we might want a security baseline manifest to run once a month, package installation files once/day, etc. Since we''re a brokerage, we also don''t want ANY system changes during trading hours. I guess we could cron killing the

Hi, I''m running multiple vservers and have some aspects managed via puppet. I noticed that puppetd consumes from 20 to 60 mb RAM and the longer the process runs, the more RAM it takes. It looks like 60MB is the top what I measured. Having a couple of vservers (11 in my case) this can already take up to 500MB just for puppet! I''m wondering if there''s any downside in
