So when puppetd crashes/whatever, and a pid file is left behind, SMF in Solaris will try restarting puppet, but fail. And then it sits there restarting it forever. I''m not sure if I can adjust the flap detection in SMF.. it isn''t disabling the service for "restarting too quickly" because it takes so long to start. Probably because I''m NFS-mounting ruby. The

Hi- Recently starting using puppet while migrating an existing messy group of systems to some nice new hardware. Things are going incredibly well, and puppet''s functioning great. Have a bit of a headache. I''d like to keep myself from duplicating lots of included classes. Lets say I have this (snippet of a) class: class dbserver { file { "/etc/my_${db}.cnf":

I have a cluster of 20 or so machines. On many of the nodes, the puppetd process take up a ton of resident memory (> 400MB RES in top, > 500GB VIRT in top) after running for a while (> 1 week). The only thread I found on this was titled "memory leak?" and last updated on 06-Dec-2007. The question on that tread was whether or not the memory was buffered memory. I

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''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

Subject basically says it all. Anyone have a good idea of how to get puppetd restarted after installing a updated puppet.conf? Using the Service types obviously doesn''t work since puppet is already running. Is there no, please reload your config on the next run option? I mean there is always some screwing with a cronjob to just restart puppet once and awhile but I dunno I was

Hello, puppetmasterd is running as shown here: puppet 10209 1.1 1.5 138124 62532 ? Ssl 13:37 0:06 /usr/bin/ruby /usr/sbin/puppetmasterd --manifest=/etc/puppet.production/manifests/site.pp --logdest=/var/log/puppet.production/puppetmasterd.log however, the log file is not being updated with information when a client runs puppetd --test Am I missing something obvious? Best,

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, 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

Guys, I seriously could not find this topic in the documentation. What do you do when you need to force puppetd hosts get the new settings from puppetmasterd? What I found was only sending USR1 signal to the client process in order to make it refresh its configuration from the master. But I find it a bit inconvenient for a large amount of hosts. There is also puppetrun which, if I understand

I apologized ahead of time if this post shouldn''t go here but I having been knocking my heading for the last two days trying to get over the following error while trying to "clone" my primary puppetmasterd because we have outgrown one puppetmasterd setup. I have basically set up a 2nd instance of our primary puppetmasterd and rsync''ed over /var/lib/puppet/ssl/ from the

Is there a way of specifying the server on a different port? I want to be able to change between two different puppetmasterd''s on the same box, and I want to pick between them by using selecting the port. There seems to be lots of :port* symbols floating around, and a --port in puppetd, but it''s not looking consistent. Is this something on the TODO path, or is there a

Hi, I have a Gentoo server running puppetmasterd from Puppet 0.24.1 and a Ubuntu server running puppetd from Puppet 0.23.2. I have added listen=true to the [puppetd] section on the client and run puppetd --debug. I then run puppetrun --debug --host hostname on the puppetmaster server. This is the output I get: Puppetmaster: # puppetrun --debug --host hostname Failed to load ruby LDAP library.

Hi, I was managing a bunch of Centos 4.5 with Puppet until the ruby security patch bit me creating ssl problems. As I''m not able/willing to patch the installed version I tried upgrading to dlutter''s 0.24.0-2.el5 version. Unfortunately this didn''t help much. So I removed the server and client installation completely (making sure to manually remove the config, ssl, ...

Hi, I''m running multiple vservers and have some aspects managed via puppet. I noticed that puppetd consumes from 20 to 60 mb RAM and the longer the process runs, the more RAM it takes. It looks like 60MB is the top what I measured. Having a couple of vservers (11 in my case) this can already take up to 500MB just for puppet! I''m wondering if there''s any downside in

Hi, I have a problem with puppetd/puppetmasterd, when I start any without "--no-daemonize" parameter they will crash. Master will just wait untill first sucessful run of puppetd which only owrks when this option is used. I''m using gem 2.6.0. Any ideas ?

Hi: I''m trying to configure Puppet on Ubuntu, and strangely I am never able to generate a certificate because my server never shows any pending certificate requests. Put differently, on the server I am running puppetmasterd and on the client I am able to connect to the server, but the client continues printing notice: Did not receive certificate warning: peer certificate

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 :

If you install puppet from the ubuntu 9.04 repositories (apt-get install puppet) it sets up puppet differently than the gem. The differences are obvious from the /etc/puppet/puppet.conf which looks like this [main] logdir=/var/log/puppet vardir=/var/lib/puppet ssldir=/var/lib/puppet/ssl rundir=/var/run/puppet factpath=$vardir/lib/facter pluginsync=true [puppetmasterd]
