-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi *! How do you monitor when the last puppet transaction was successful on a node? I''m searching for something easy like a timestamp, so I can put a nagios watch on this.

Greetings list-members! I''m a puppet newb and I''m trying to write a recipe that replaces the standard Redhat sysklogd with syslog-ng. I do this to separate shorewall-generated iptables log messages from / var/log/messages into a separate log. I have something that works now but it spews warnings every time puppetd runs on the client. The outline of what I wanted was to

Hi while usings DavidS mysql module with its custom mysql types I hit some kind of a chicken/egg problem: While deploying mysql, I also like to define some mysql munin user, to enable munin monitoring for mysql things. I choosed to use the mysql_user type from DavidS and it works perfectly. However I start using the custom types on a host where mysql have already been installed. Now I should

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 You folks were so helpful with my last problem I thought I''d try again. I''m attempting to use the services filetype to ensure that ntpd is running on all my hosts. Unfortunately this does not seem to be working on my Gentoo test system. I get the following output on the client log: puppetd[3436]: Starting configuration run

Hello, I have two Vmware images, with 256MB of RAM memory each one, running puppetmasterd for the server and puppetd for the client. It''s normal that my puppetmasterd and puppetd occupies almost 10% of RAM memory each one? They aren''t doing anything especial, just listening on the ports. Thanks.

Hi, I am running an environment with 15 FreeBSD servers on which I want to maintain ports, rc.conf settings, and assorted configuration in /usr/local/etc/. Looked around the existing Puppet docs, I got a puppetmaster and a test client to work and install a package as specified in the site manifest. This is very basic but awesome! I want to create a puppet FreeBSD HowTo that addresses a

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

What is everyone''s experience with Puppet on Ubuntu? Does it work as expected? Any caveats or oddities? -- DK -- Digant C Kasundra <digant@stanford.edu> Technical Lead, ITS Unix Systems and Applications, Stanford University

I just discovered something interesting: node server.example.org { class A { ... } } The above doesn''t do anything. node server.example.org { include A class A { ... } } The above works. I was under the impression that classes defined within a node were assumed to be part of that node. I learned something new today. -- Digant C Kasundra

I think some conventions are in order to help with the documentation work. (1) As suggested by someone else earlier, I think we need a clear way to mark areas needing fixes with FIXMEs. (2) Topics under discussion or drafting should indicate such, perhaps at the top of the document, with a reference to the thread. On page comments should have a clearly designated area at the bottom of the

Hello >From my understanding, modules are not autosearched. So, if I have: include ssh ... then puppet will look for a module names ssh and class named ssh defined in /modules/ssh/init.pp Moreover, if I have: include ssh::global ... then Puppet will for class global defined in /modules/ssh/init.pp or /modules/ssh/global.ss. Is that correct? Or am I leaving out some imports

I recently update my remotefile definitions (others might have already done so or have been using a better one than mine). I added an ensure parameter so I could do overrides using remotefile rather than the underlying file: define remotefile($owner = root, $ignore = ".svn", $group = root, $mode = 644, $source, $backup = false, $recurse = false, $ensure = file) { $realsource =

Hello folks, I''ve finally figured out how to get the Wiki to notify of changes. Luke is going to work on getting a proper link in the header but for now, make sure you are logged in and then if the page you want to watch is at: <http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/GlossaryOfTerms> then in your browser URL, substitute "notification" for "wiki":

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

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 everyone, I''ve been working on an internal best practices document that also tackled giving proper terms to things that were at the time uncoined. But looks like we have a bit of a merge problem as other terms have been floating around that seem to conflict with some terms we''ve been using internally at my organization. I''m hoping we can discuss and

Hello folks, I''ve blended/updated the Glossary of Terms (<http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/GlossaryOfTerms>). It seems the definition of "manifests" is a bit different amongst members. Some people consider a "manifest" to be a configuration file written in puppet, e.g. any .pp file. But at my organization, we''ve considered the totality

Hi all, I''m very happy to see how quickly the Puppet community is growing and how pleasant and helpful everyone is. It seems like people are starting to handle a lot of the questions on the email lists and IRC, which is great because it means I can focus more on development and planning. There are a few areas that don''t seem to be meeting the community needs, though,

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