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 all, I''ve followed http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/UsingMongrel for configuring my puppet with mongrel. Al seems to work fine, except that, after a reinstall of 40 nodes atone time, I got many kind of errors like: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- err: Could not request certificate: Certificate retrieval failed: .tmp file already

Hey Guys, So i have puppetmaster running and well. I have a few questions 1) Even though i followed instructions on http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/Using_Mongrel on using Mongrel, puppetmaster is probably still using webrick since the client connection timeout still occurs. How do i make it use mongrel? 2) Now after messing a little with /etc/sysconfig/puppetmaster i increased

Hi, Is there a way to have puppetmaster sign new clients'' certificates when using apache+mongrel for serving, without having a separate puppetmaster instance running webrick on a different port/IP? I guess this does not work out of the box because apache is told to do the verification very early in the connection process, at which point it does not yet know that the client is going to

Hi Experts, I''m trying to generate my own certificates (all of them, including certs for CA, server and client) for puppet to use. and I''m getting "Could not run: Could not retrieve certificate for puppetsrv and not running on a valid certificate authority" Just wondering what the problem could be? What I did is: 1. generate a self signed CA cert, and save the

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

Hi Folks, Just wondering what the above error means. I followed the instructions in http://www.howtoforge.com/installing_puppet_on_ubuntu and when I try to startup the server it fails with the error in the subject of this message. I am running the server on Ubuntu/i386/gutsy. In particular, # puppetmasterd --verbose --debug debug: puppetmasterd: Setting logdir to

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:

Hi, How big a template file can be? When I tested with a kind of large file (about 23KB, 570 lines), puppetmasterd ended up with a segmentation fault. Then I made the file shorter than original (about 6KB, 145 lines), the file was created but it is shorter than it should be. What I have is just 3994 bytes and 80 lines. Replacing the string is done correctly. I would like to know the limit of

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 get the following error at the browser: ArgumentError in ImagesController#upload invalid geometry string `110×'' ... for the call to change_geometry with an explicit size (''110x'') as the geometry string: def make_thumb (the_img) require ''RMagick'' size = "110x" debugger if ENV[''RAILS_ENV''] ==

I think that I''m running into the warning on external node support here but after a recent upgrade for my puppetmaster I get: puppetmasterd[19397]: Could not find aa0-006-4.foo.com with names aa0-006-4.foo.com, aa0-006-4 I''ve not changed puppetd.conf which contains: ldapnodes = true ldapserver = my.ldap.foo.com ldapbase = ou=hosts,dc=foo,dc=com I''ve not

Dear All I am attempting some power analyses, based on simulated data. My experimental set up is thus: Bleach: main effect, three levels (control, med, high), Fixed. Temp: main effect, two levels (cold, hot), Fixed. Main effect interactions, six levels (fixed) For each main-effect combination I have three replicates. Within each replicate I can take varying numbers of measurements (response

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

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I''m running the latest version of puppet (debian 0.22.4-2), and I''ve gotten to a point with my configuration where puppetmasterd needs to be restarted every few days due to what seem like file handles not getting closed. I either see this set of errors: May 22 08:08:34 localhost puppetd[2810]: Could not get config; using

Hi! I''m currently preparing to xen installation. In the system that I''m going to set up, there will be a need to copy large amounts of data (therefore I want to avoid using network) from domUs to the dom0 (one way only). Mounting a filesystem RO, when a domU has it mounted RW is probably asking for trouble. Therefore I was thinking about using some remounting protocol similar

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

Hi all, This has theoretically been a high priority for a long time, and I''m finally going to get it done, I think. Here''s my plan, and I''d appreciate any comments you might have on it. Currently, sections only have meaning internally, in that one can call ''config.use(section)'' to create any directories needed for that section. Additionally,

Hi Puppet-Team, first thanks for this great configuration management tool ! My name is Matt and i am on creating a puppet plugin for openQRM. The basic framework is already existing and working well so far. Now, after having it working ok once i now ran into a problem that my puppet-clients do not get their configuration any more from the puppetmasterd. What i saw on the puppetmasterd logs is :
