Hi guys, I''ve just checkout the puppetshow code, and I was looking for the setup.ppfile, but I cant find it anywhere.... anyone has an idea where should i look for it? (or what needs to be done?)

Hi, I am developing an end user WWW-based front end for Rails for my system integrator and developer colleagues to use to easily view and search our Puppet configs via a Rails app. I set up the SQLite storage option on the server and the puppet tables are being populated in /var/puppet/state/, but foreign keys for everything except host_id in resources are not being set. Is this expected

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

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

I''m sure everyone has read and committed the Puppet Best Practice to memory by now (I joke). One of the things I''ve written in there deals with trailing commas, which I adopted from the way I used to do multiline in Perl, but I''ve noticed that most people don''t tend to do that in Puppet. Should I revise this or should we all start using the trailing commas?

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

Hello everyone, A long time ago, I posted the Stanford Best Practices and I''ve gone through and updated it today. I''d like to have people go through it and see if we can strip out some Stanford specific stuff and tag this as an official best practice. I think an official best practice will be important as more and more people consider making shareable modules, etc (mostly

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,

I turned on reporting the other day and I''m seeing alot of these when puppet runs. Especially during times when nothing is going on (middle of the night etc) Tue Dec 11 12:34:48 -0500 2007 //base/puppet/puppet::client/Service[puppet]/ensure (notice): ensure changed ''stopped'' to ''running'' It''s also quite odd that puppet when it runs it thinks

For anyone that has experienced the odd End of file or Cannot describe errors, we''ve found that switching to Mongrel has fixed this problem for us. We''re currently running 5 instance of puppetmaster under mongrel (with the apache proxy in front) and things are going great. For more information on setting up Mongrel, visit:

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. Interestingly, during the stretch where we were running 0.22.2 (most of April until 2 days ago) we didn''t see this error at all or very

I like the Stanford Best Practices guide for puppet. One thing I didn''t see it address was handling of separate environments, for example Dev, Test, Staging, Production. My thoughts on this so far, are: brainstorm #1) Handle environment differences with metadata: node devProductName01 { $env = "dev" include ProductName-webserver } node testProductName01 {

It appears that --report only works to send reports to puppetmaster. Is there a way or could an option be added to have the puppet client print out it''s report to stdout or stderr, for folks who are using puppet without the puppetmaster/puppetd?

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.

I have a test area network that is not routed to the production network because of IP address space re-use between the two networks. I would like the puppetmaster to serve both the production and test area networks. The puppetmaster is on the production network. I understand the puppet to puppetmaster connect to be HTTP using SSL. Can I somehow setup the puppet clients to use an HTTP

Hi, In our dev/int environemnts, our user base wants to be able to change managed files at will during the day but be notified via email of changes that happen. At night they want the files replaced to their known good state if there were changed. I tried to do this with a custom function that wraps two file types, one that just watches checksum, the other that does a reset of content with a

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.

Hi, I''m a new puppet user (thanks !) and I''m just looking at moving my homegrown manifest structure into something resembling the best practise guide at : http://www.reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PuppetBestPractice. It seems as if the structure here doesn''t map to the default puppet layout (and thus doesn''t work with the standard puppet config

Anyone have an implementation that allows you to evaluate the configs before they are committed to subversion? Too often, I''ll find that I missed a comma or whatnot and all of a sudden, puppetmaster can''t properly parse the configs anymore. I''d like to catch that before a commit. -- DK
