similar to: puppet 0.23.2 can''t collect exported resources

I just upgraded from 0.23.2-1 on RHEL 4&5 to 0.24.1-1. I used Dlutter''s repository. What a mess I''m in now. Anyway to make a long story short I moved all of the old configs out of the way (/etc/puppet, /var/lib/puppet) and started over with a fresh install. I can''t get puppetd on the server to request a cert. If I do a "puppetd -v --waitforcert 90" the

I''ve been pondering how to handle our file distribution issues - we''re starting to roll puppet out, and I''d like to get it somewhat right from the start. I''ve been watching the list for a while, and observed ''complaints'' about the speed of the fileserver method when dealing with recursive directories. If I can avoid this, I''d

hi ,all When realizing a resources ,can use this syntax like this ? File <<| tag == $idc | >> I had try it ,but can''t work. and not get error from the puppetmaster. -- Huang Mingyou

Here''s some happy-fun Perl to make your storeconfig/virtual resources day better. I probably should have written this in Ruby, but perl comes naturally :) #!/usr/bin/perl # # Perl DBI to remove all related entries from Puppet''s storeconfigs database. # Use when a host is removed from the Puppet network forcibly # Alternatives: run puppet on host to be removed with a blank

I have a cluster of 20 or so machines. On many of the nodes, the puppetd process take up a ton of resident memory (> 400MB RES in top, > 500GB VIRT in top) after running for a while (> 1 week). The only thread I found on this was titled "memory leak?" and last updated on 06-Dec-2007. The question on that tread was whether or not the memory was buffered memory. I

Hi gang, Is it possible to test if a particular resource has already been defined? I''d like to do something like this: if !Host["$fqdn"] { host {"$fqdn": ip => "$ipaddress_eth0" } } Essentially, test to see if there is no Host resource defined for the current server and if not, add a host entry for itself using the IP address of eth0. Possible?

Hello all, what exactly is the "design decision" that is needed here? We currently have the problem that 0.23.2-3 (debian package) does not work when it comes to collecting exported resources. The resources are saved in the database, so picking them up is the problem (db is Mysql5.x). This is a major problem for us, since we are using this a lot for our monitoring services. I

Hello all. I am using the munin module for a while now, I think that after the upgrade to puppet and puppetmaster 0.23.2 (or 0.23.1) it simply stopped working. Were there any changes to the realizing and exporting of resources? What could prevent this module from stopping to work. What happenes is that new hosts (munin::client nodes) do get stored in the database, but the munin::host does not

Hi all Luke and I have been discussing the wiki and how its future development might pan out. As a result I thought I''d canvas people for feedback. Currently the wiki''s layout and structure is fairly ad hoc and it''s a mix of wiki mark-up and REStructured Text (RST). We''d like to make it more "manual" like or at least move a significant portion of

Hello everybody. I have a question about removing exported resources. How is this done? Does it happen automagically? If I do: @@file{"/tmp/bla": content => "blahs content", ensure => present, } and thus export "/tmp/bla" to another host does it vanish by itself as soon as I remove the definition, or would I need to state something like:

hi ,all how to update the puppet from 0.22.4 to 0.23.2 . just install it ? is there have some thing need to be be careful ? when update the server and client,all just install the new version ? please help me ,because I use the puppet in product servers,so I need be careful. :D -- Huang Mingyou

Hello dear list. First of all thanks to all the developers for the great work on puppet. After using it for a while, there is not better tool to manage a network! I have a problem with the $processor fact, which seems to be either not there or ignored at all. I try to implement package deployment for the Macs (Intel vs. PowerPC) as described here:

Hi there, I have a strange problem with the exported ressources in the munin module I wrote. See: http://mail.madstop.com/pipermail/puppet-users/2007-June/003179.html For some reason it stopped working. On the munin::host I get the error that: err: Could not retrieve configuration: Exported resource File[munin_def_XY_4949] cannot override local resource The munin::host is also a

Hello all. There is some strange thing going on with our OS X clients. We have created a package which is run via SystemStarter. What it does? It parses /etc/fstab and mounts the NFS directories mentioned there. This is needed since we want to have static mounts and the NetInfo-automounter combination does not do static mounts (even with ttl=0 set for the mount, which is supposed to do a

Hello, Anyone have any luck getting storeconfigs + MySQL working? I was getting some freaky uninformative errors: err: Could not call: wrong number of arguments (1 for 0) It''d be great if we could get a wiki page up, there appears to be a pretty large consensus of people who are unable to get it running. Regards, AJ

Hello all, I have set up a public svn repository with some facts that we have written over time: https://svn.ikw.uni-osnabrueck.de/dav/ikwadmin/public/puppet/facts/ (yes, it is svn). Now, I was wondering where to document this on the puppet-wiki (or should it rather be the facter-wiki) http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/tags/facter%2Crecipe does not give any clear hint on this. Maybe I

Just wondering if anyone is using a backend database other than sqlite, and if so, how easy/hard it was to configure. I''m constantly receiving "SQLite3::BusyException: database is locked..." which I presume is due to sqlite''s relatively coarse locking method.

Hello there, I have come to a situation where I would like to mix 2 approaches to create the contents of a file. Here is what I have: a module ''sudo'' which manages a hosts /etc/sudoers file: init.pp: class sudo { case $operatingsystem { Debian: { package { "sudo": } } } file { "/etc/sudoers": mode => 440, content =>

Heya, I''m using puppet on Ubuntu (Gutsy/Hardy) and there''s a problem with the default setup of Ubuntu. Ubuntu uses network-manager to start the network in the background, which in turn causes puppet to start before the network is up. Puppet will then exit because it can''t resolve the server name. Currently I "solve" this problem by uninstalling

hi,all. I found a interesting problem. first ,a new node run the puppetd to connect the puppet server, then was treated as "default" node. that''s right. Then I add the new node''s hostname in a node define. and run the puppetd ,is still get the default manifests file. But when I restart the pupppuetmaster, then it can get the new manifests file to correspond
