So I am beginning the long process of learning puppet... and it seems that I am missing some vital things. My systems are RHEL-4, and i have installed the puppet/facter/puppetmasterd from dlutter@redhat.com''s archive. [root@canopus puppet]# rpm -qa | egrep ''puppet|facter'' | sort facter-1.3.6-1.el4 puppet-0.22.2-1.el4 puppet-server-0.22.2-1.el4 on the client I

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

Hey guys, Relatively new to Puppet and I''m trying to setup tagmail to send all emails to me: at one point I''ll filter that down to errors and whatnot (based on tags) but for now I just want to get it working. Master Puppet server is setup with Passengers, all works well: /etc/puppet/puppet.conf [main] # The Puppet log directory. # The default value is

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

I just started digging into puppet and it looks like puppet is using a pull model. You have a master server and clients talk to it to get config info. Is anyone out there using a push model? If not, why not? Are there security reasons you would use one over the other? It seems that cfengine also uses a push model, so I wondered if this is a "standard" or if there are specific

Hi guys, Unlike what it says in the documentation and the --help output, I can''t seem to get puppetd to use the --server setting. The only way I can get puppetd to work is to include a ''puppet'' alias to the ip of the machine I''m running puppetmasterd on in my hosts file. The strange thing though, is that the logs of my puppetmaster show that it *is* getting

Hi, I am using a template to create an /etc/exports file. I have a template that looks like this (but results in the puppetmasterd dying on the server when the client updates): <% nfsHomeClients.split.each do |host| -%> /nfs <%= host %>(<%= mainshareoptions %>) <% nfspaths.each do |path| -%> <%= path %> <%= host %>(<%= nfsoptions %>) <% end

Hi, I''m using puppet on EC2 to setup my VMs with the following configuration: # puppetd --version 0.25.5 # uname -a Linux hostname.domain 2.6.16-xenU #1 SMP Mon May 28 03:41:49 SAST 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux But I keep facing some timeout from puppetd: warning: peer certificate won''t be verified in this SSL session Exiting; failed to retrieve certificate and waitforcert

Hello All, I don''t seem to be able to get reports to display on the foreman interface. I copied extras/puppet/foreman/files/foreman-report.rb to / usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/reportsforeman.rb, instead of /usr/ lib/ruby/1.8/puppet/reports/foreman.rb. Config: Centos5.4, Apache/ Passenger, Puppet 0.25.4. The reports are coming from the clients, because I can see them in

Hi, I exposed few days ago this situation on the IRC, but unfortunately I haven''t found a way to solve it yet. I run the Puppet Master with multiple environments, and everything is working good but a couple of nodes that are causing me some troubles. These nodes are pointing to my production environment and I need to point them back to development to grab some changes I made. I

Hello, I have followed the documentation at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/dashboard/manual/1.2/bootstrapping.html to try to setup dashboard but after I manually add a node it shows up as unreported. The agent has successfully completed a very basic catalog run just adding a file to the file-system. Dashboard v1.2 Puppet puppet-server.noarch 2.7.19-1.el6 SERVER: -bash-4.1$ cat

Hi It seems like classes.txt file is not being created when I run puppet on my servers. I am running puppet without a puppet master. I use subversion to pull the manifests on each of the boxes and run this command to run puppet. puppet apply --verbose /path/to/manifest My puppet version is puppet 2.6.4. My puppet.conf file looks like this: [main] # The Puppet log directory. # The

hello, i''m just playing around with the really great puppet to learn the syntax and see what it can do. i''m using puppet 0.22.1 on debian etch. i created a aide class to distribute a modified aide.conf.d directory and if not already done initialize the database (yes this should probably be better organized and databas initialization should be performed as the last step):

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

Hi Guys, Im trying to turn on storeconfigs with a mysql db backend. On my testing server in our lab, i configured this successfully and can see if keeping information on all test hosts. When trying to implent the same idea onto our production puppet server, I get the following errors: Aug 26 16:35:53 opsynxsr0097 puppetmasterd[27003]: (/Settings[/etc/

Hello, all. I am getting the following error on a couple of my puppet nodes when I run puppetd -v -o --no-daemonize --no-splay: err: Could not retrieve catalog: undefined method `-'' for #<XMLRPC::DateTime:0xb7c729e8> The error goes away if I add --ignorecache, but I''m not sure that''s quite the fix I''m hoping for. It will also go away if i remove my

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

Greetings, I''ve two questions for y''all. 1) I''ve setup an alternate installation path for puppet in a site local directory outside of ''the usual places''. Puppetd seems to insist that /etc/puppet/namespaceauth.conf exists despite setting :authconfig in both puppet and puppetd. As a result part of my installation now includes a symlink to point

In my puppet client I have puppet.conf defined puppet server as mypuppet server = mypuppet.example.net Not sure why the puppet client puppet-test is still sending these noises to the syslog Jun 10 13:36:23 puppet-test puppetd[10863]: [ID 702911 daemon.error] Could not find server : getaddrinfo: node name or service name not known Jun 10 13:36:23 puppet-test puppetd[10863]: [ID 702911

With both puppet-0.23.0 and 0.23.1 if I setup just the configuration file puppet.conf, none of the puppetd options seem to get parsed. I first noticed this when monit failed to start/stop services due to the lack of a pid file being generated (and mine is not in one of the usual places). I''m sure that something like the patch attached but I bet it breaks other assumptions :-) Cheers,
