similar to: what''s the maximum of the runinterval

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I was made aware of puppet a few weeks ago and I really like the way things are working. What I liked at cfengine was the capability to push content from the central server to any node. There was no need to open a port from DMZ or any other remote system to the central server. Is there a similar way within puppet? How is this solved by other

hi all , i want to disable runinterval option on puppetd . as i know , after every 1800 sec.( 30 mins) , puppet client pull configuration from puppet master . I want configuration to be pushed to puppet client when i wwould fire puppetrun on puppet master rather than after every 30 min , configuration pulled puppet client. runinterval :How often puppetd applies the client

What techniques are people using to do particular tasks once in a great while? For example, usually you don''t want to automatically upgrade the kernel until it''s fully tested but, of course one day you will. How do you work through Puppet to perform this activity on an on-demand basis instead of a periodic job. Are you using state files like "if file X exists do Y"

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 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

hi,all I want set up a puppet HA structure. but if the puppetd can set more than one server address ,the work will be simple :D if one puppetmaster have error, the client can auto try the next. I think I can use the heartbeat or dns to do this same thing,but not so good. so I want know the puppetd can direct set in the configure file ? if not,will be add this option? -- Huang

I was wondering how to configure the puppet clients to only listen, not to periodically pull configs down from the puppetmaster. I''d rather push the configs out from the puppetmaster with puppetrun... At a guess I need to set runinterval to 0 in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group. To post

Hi, I''ve setup my systems to do reporting as explained in https:// reductivelabs.com/cgi-bin/puppet.cgi/wiki/ReportsAndReporting, with tagmail defined as one of the report types - but I do not recieve any mail at all. I''ve configured a tagmail.conf file like this: all: root@localhost But the documentation mentions three options, namely sendmail, reportfrom,

Hi all, I''ve got a new class in the current code, which I''ve been calling Configuration but Matt reasonably thinks is horrible. He is recommending the name Manifest, and I figured I''d see what others thought. The point of the class is to function as a resource container -- it keeps a reference to all of the resources we''re managing, and knows how to

I have a substantial number of Windows hosts running puppet 3.1.1 with the following in their puppet.conf: runinterval = 1800 > splay = true > splaylimit = 900 However in checking puppet logs, I''m finding that these hosts are dialing in at 30 minute intervals +/- 5-10 seconds. Can someone provide me an example puppet.conf that is properly implementing the splay feature on a

Anyone care to share how they handle yum updates? We have a script that runs yum update nightly and then emails us the results when there are packages to be updated. Ideally I''d like a way to keep a class in site.pp that can be uncommented to run yum update -y after the update list is reviewed by a human. Tim

Hi, I am looking for a way, i.e. best practice for managing config changes safely and efficiently. Something like clever module organization could certainly help, but I am looking for something else as well: Is it possible to set up puppetd in a way, that it just listens and reports, but does not apply config changes automatically, and in the same time has the ability to trigger it somehow?

I went through all the ''getting started'' stuff, and have a puppetmaster and several test clients configured. I''m not clear as to how the puppetmaster manages the puppet configurations on the clients ... while it would obviously be possible to add puppet.conf as a distributed file, I''m guessing there''s probably a better way to manage this sort

We don''t have nearly as many and yet, we see occasional errors ("End of file reached") which seems to indicate the network cutting out. I can''t imagine what would

Hello All I gather that the number of times the daemon checks in is controlled via runinterval (default 1800 seconds) Further, splay (and splaylimit) sets if a pseudo random time is used before checking in. BUT does splay have any meaning if i can not set when the daemon should attempt to check in? Or can i set the check-in time (i may have just missed the option)? cheers chakkerz
