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

Hi guys, I have a box that needs to identify itself to the puppetmaster as something different from the FQDN. I added certname to the agent configuration before the first run, but it doesn''t seem to be sufficient. The certificate was generated for the FQDN, and the host appears in the dashboard as the FQDN, and the node name used to evaluate the manifest is also the FQDN. I would

After upgrading my puppetmaster to 0.24.7 from 0.24.6 i am getting the following errors in the puppetmaster logs. Any help would be appreciated.

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

(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

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

Hello... After a break, I am back to my integrating puppet project. While testing I ran into a bug in puppetmaster.log. (maybe. it is possible I did this myself with a borked config ) I seems that puppetmaster is re-logging past data. I have noop = true and set runinterval = 60 to show the bug. I manually added the "manual break" lines in between runs. Wed Jan 24 09:27:29

Anyone using the rrdgraph report on the puppetmaster on Debian stable? I''m trying to get this working and not getting far. I even took rrdtool and librrd0-dev from backports and I still get the same problem. It seems that the rrdfiles are being somewhat created, but nevertheless, the puppetmaster isn''t happy and keeps spewing: err: Report rrdgraph failed: Could not create

hi, i''m trying to set up my puppetmaster infrastructure with multiple puppetservers behind load balancers in each of our datacenters. i''m using 0.24.6. i''ve read the howto on puppet scalability, and i think i''ve got the ssl config working correct, but i''m noticing that when puppetd is used to build a puppetmaster, some of the files in $vardir/ ssl

Anyone ever migrated the puppetca to a different host? What are the steps that are involved?

Hello, Running into a problem when wanting to daemon-ize the agent. It doesnt seems to do anything: - cannot find any daemon process with (ps aux | grep puppet) - the config is not updated after editing some params on the master - /var/log/puppet stay empty... while, when logged as root, it is working without issue with $puppet agent --test. ##Conf Ubuntu 12.04 Puppet 2.7.11 ## Daemon is

Hello community, We are running puppetmaster 0.22.3 with 45 servers attached and we are seeing a lot of messages that say: (err): Could not describe /ssh/sshd_config.RedHat: End of file reached: We were seeing a lot of this with 0.22.1 as well.

I have been all over the wiki pages for puppet and I have noticed that all the configuration examples seem vague. Does anyone know of a good solid resource for start to finish configuration of puppetmaster and puppet (server and client)? A step by step guide would be great.

Is there a way to tell the puppetmaster that I want to import all modules rather than listing each one individually?

Hello All, So I finally got around to start to cut over node definitions from standard flat files to external nodes (foreman), and getting error message: "Error 400 on SERVER: Could not find node ''nodename''; cannot compile" - So basically it can''t pick up the node from the external node config. When I test the fetching of the yaml file it seems to work
