similar to: Signing certificates with mongrel+apache puppetmaster

Hi, We have dedicated puppet master boxes, which basically only run a mongrel/puppetmasterd (6 instances), an apache proxy for mongrel and puppetd. Recently puppetmasterds seemed to have leaked almost all of the RAM, and the thrashing made the box painfully slow. We restarted the puppetmasterd processes, and started collecting some statistics. Attached is a graph of memory usage on one of the

Hi, We''re trying to follow the instructions at http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/UsingMongrel (Just using a single puppetmaster/mongrel instance and plain mod_proxy for now, instead of balancer one) We got past the "Server is not a class" error by modifying mongrel.rb We also kind-of got past the: /opt/bin/puppetmasterd:293: undefined method `daemonize'' for

Hi, I have just successfully configured Puppet to run with Mongrel, and would like to update the documentation with what I''ve learned. However, since I''m not an expert with these things, I thought I''d share with the list before updating the wiki. So here''s what I''d change: + Remove this picture:

We haven''t been able to use mongrel for testing yet, but in order not to waste time, we did some performance testing with 1, 2 and 4 puppetmasterd/webrick processes. Attached is an HTML page (ripped from our wiki - not pretty, but reasonably readable) which describes the method and results. If someone feels like making some nice graphs, that would be great. If not, I''ll try to

I''m having problems with a definition not being found. I get the following error when running puppetd -vt: err: Could not find type "manual_apt_get_update" in file /etc/puppet/manifests/definitions/apt_misc.pp at line 22 The definition is present for sure. Can anyone spot a problem with the code below? define manual_apt_get_update { exec { "/usr/bin/apt-get

All, Once the puppet clients are installed, is there a option to list the client in the server. mind you I never meant the cert - signing list.. which would be puppetca --list.

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

Greetings all, My deployment of puppet includes a monitrc to make sure that puppetd stays up and running. It seems like (across all of my hosts) that pupeptd will end up dying and restarted by monit. I''m running puppetd under a screen session now on one particular host with --debug --verbose to see if any thing comes out on console but until it happens again, any anybody else

I''m trying to write a wrapper definition for the file type to make it a bit smarter. I have a basic version working fairly well: define xfile($owner = root, $group = root, $mode = 644, $source, $backup = main, $recurse = false, $ensure = file) { file { $name: mode => $mode, owner => $owner, group => $group, backup => $backup, recurse

We'd like to get new users to the information they need quickly and one thing new users want to know is if they can use Puppet for what they want to do. So far, we don't have a very extensive (or thorough) list of platforms and software solutions that our community is using with Puppet. To deal with this, I've drafted a short list of platforms under which Puppet is

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

I made an attempt to switch to mongrel today and I''m running into a strange error message I can''t seem to track down: debug: puppetmaster: Setting servertype to ''mongrel'' Server is not a class Tracing through with the debugger shows: [snip] /foo/lib/gems/puppet-0.22.4/bin/puppetmasterd:248: case Puppet[:servertype] (rdb:1) n

Hello puppet users, I know this is not really a puppet thing but i wanted to know what tools do you use for server provisionning ? I have to build quite a lot of servers for a prject and i need to instal them. Of course puppet take care of the configuration but i wondered if some of you use things like FAI . It seems that i could use puppet to script FAI to install machines. What do you

So one of the behaviors that seems to wedge puppetmasterd is if you re-initialize a client, the example here being that I installed an older version of puppet on a bunch of machines to test out how things work: * at some point in the past install older rev of puppet - client regiesters itself with the server, etc. - works fine. * recently, remove the old puppet in favor of a new version that

Hi, I''ve just changed my debian preseed configuration to install the debian unstable package of puppet v0.22.1. As part of the preseed I have a late command that clobbers the /etc/init.d/puppet file into using the puppet standalone program and not the puppetd (as this is what I''m using). Since the upgrade to 0.22.1 every boot hangs during the initd. Going into standalone mode

Hi all, I''m in the throes of the REST conversion and I''m wondering: How important is it to retain backward compatibility? The language will clearly be consistent between the two, but it looks like it''s going to be a heckuva lot more complicated to keep compatibility for all network services (as in, for each of them, I''ll have to write a shell that

I''m almost afraid to ask because this probably sticks out like a sore thumb on the wiki somewhere, and I''m just not seeing it. But I have a bunch of files with the same owner/mode. Is there a way to somehow collapse these, so that all I repeat is the file name? Example: file { "/opt/test/1": owner => "jtan", group =>
