similar to: Puppet for mass hosting and ha/hp clusters ?

For those of you out there using export/collect (which we really need to come up with a better name for...), can you test the current SVN code? I''m mostly wondering if the performance is any better. To use it, you''ll have to remove your current database, since the database schema is significantly changed. I''m getting what looks like an additional 25% reduction

I testing Puppet 0.19.3. If we decide to use it, we''d deploy it across several thousand hosts. The method described for creating client certificates described in the documentation - running "puppetd --server <server> --waitforcert 60 --test" and "puppetca --sign <client>" - is not practical for our installation. I''ve tried creating

I''m trying to get puppetrun to work, without luck so far. I have my puppetmaster and clients working fine with the clients polling the master. Now I want to be able to force an update. Using version 0.23.2 On the client I set listen=true and created the namespaceauth.conf file. Restarted puppetd and it appears fine. On the master I run puppetrun as root and get root@plane:/etc/puppet#

Hi, I use dovecot 1.0.15 on Debian Lenny. In my /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf, i use user_query = SELECT path, 33 AS uid, uid AS gid FROM mail_users WHERE alias = '%u' The result is something like this /var/alternc/mail/d/denis_collectifs.net and is the correct location (the Maildir is created by an script) But the problem is that dovecot creates (when you log in for the first time) a

bind zones, virtual mailboxes or other mass-services. We currently don''t know how to handle so many vhosts through puppet. We saw that puppet can read node information in a ldap db, but puppet can only read NODE information, not vhosts parameters. As for today, is it (in your point of view) a clean way to do this with puppet ? We tried to found some way that may (or may not) work (some

Hi all, My current conf splits 188 clients execution in one hour, and puppet runs as a cron job. My server (2cpu 2 GB RAM) runs with mongrel (with 8 puppetmasterd) and this conf works fine. We''d like puppet to run clients all at same time (force a change, i.e.), so we''re testing several things. (Previous conf do not support massive execution). First and most important, is

Hi. When running "puppetd --server <puppetmaster> --waitforcert 50 --test" on a puppet client we get the following error: /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:560:in `initialize'': getaddrinfo: Name or service not known (SocketError) from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:560:in `open'' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:560:in `connect''

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

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

Hi, I come back with my problem: On debian lenny, using dovecot 1.1.13-2~bpo50+1 I try to configure my setup (with Postfix virtual domains) to use dovecot as lda but nothing happens, as if postfix not delegate to dovecot I am using the contreol panel alternc (http://www.alternc.org). All the maildir are in the format /var/alternc/mail/i/info_domainepublic.net for info at domainepublic.net The

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, I''m currently trying to get my puppetmaster work in passenger, but have not succeeded so far. Passenger itself seems to work (a small "hello world" app runs fine), but when I point a puppet client (0.24.8) to it, I get: info: Retrieving plugins err: Could not call fileserver.list: #<RuntimeError: HTTP-Error: 500 Internal Server Error> err:

Hi! I''m testing Puppet 2.6 and got all the basic stuff working with the default webricks. I read that it doesn''t scale very well and is not suited for production environments and the recommended setup is Apache/ Passenger. Is there a step-by-step-guide on how to set it up? Any help is very appreciated. Regards, Freddie -- You received this message because you are subscribed

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/

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

Getting some strange behavior when I try and start the puppetmaster. I keep my configs in a subversion repository so naturally there are .svn directories within the puppet config directory. Not sure why but one of my puppetmaster instances refuses to start until I remove one specific .svn directory. No puppet process running. [root@puppethc01 files]# ps -ef | grep puppet root 16417 13135 0

I downloaded the puppet-dashboard.git from http://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet-dashboard and did the installation in my ubuntu lucid puppet server following the steps in "Installation". Now I can run it fine using the WEBrick like this root@sys-ubuntu { ~/git/puppet-dashboard }$ ./script/server -e production => Booting WEBrick => Rails 2.3.5 application starting on

Hi all, I have experience using puppet, however I am new to setting puppet up as it was already done for me in past environments. I am running into an issue while trying to set puppet up for the first time on RHEL 6.4. I was hoping y''all might be able to help me! I get the following error from the puppet client''s /var/log/messages log: May 30 07:06:30 pclient

Hi there, I''m running puppetmasterd manually while testing, and I was trying to split my manifest in several parts using import. If I do so whenever I run the puppetmasterd the manifest gets loaded and served correctly: cognos ~ # puppetmasterd -v info: Starting server for Puppet version 0.20.0 info: Parsed manifest in 0.02 seconds info: /var/lib/puppet/files: allowing *.example.org

Hi, I''ve installed puppet gem on freebsd 6.1 and wrote a simple startup script for puppetmasterd. It starts fine, but doesn''t create the pidfile, so I can''t stop it. Here is my script: #!/bin/sh utility_enable=${utility_enable-"NO"} utility_flags=${utility_flags-""} utility_pidfile=${utility_pidfile-"/var/run/puppetmasterd.pid"} .
