hi,all I want set up a puppet HA structure. but if the puppetd can set more than one server address ,the work will be simple :D if one puppetmaster have error, the client can auto try the next. I think I can use the heartbeat or dns to do this same thing,but not so good. so I want know the puppetd can direct set in the configure file ? if not,will be add this option? -- Huang

(I know more questions... :-)) I know the default for puppetd is to check puppetmasterd every half hour, but my question does each puppetd check at the same time? Or does it depend when puppetd is started or like a cronjob does it run at the 1/2 hour and hour mark? Is there some randomness to the times they run? My point is if they all run at the same time then if you have a large amount of

I''ve just filed http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/ticket/1182 with the aim of making it easier to add fact pickup from dmidecode in manufacturer.rb.

Hello, I''m setting up puppet on various clusters (tomcat, mysql, tomcat +cocoon, etc) of computers, each of which has a hostname consisting of the cluster type and a unique id (e.g. tc-dev-1, mysql-stg-3, etc). I''ve been merrily adding each node by hand to puppet but being naturally lazy I wondered if this could be done with a regular expression instead, something along the

I''m trying to write a wrapper definition for the file type to make it a bit smarter. I have a basic version working fairly well: define xfile($owner = root, $group = root, $mode = 644, $source, $backup = main, $recurse = false, $ensure = file) { file { $name: mode => $mode, owner => $owner, group => $group, backup => $backup, recurse

I found that has been fixed in Fedora and RedHat which return the version ( like 5, 7, 8 etc.. ) but in CentOS, it still return the kernel version instead. ================= Barrow Kwan ThoughtWorks, Inc.

So, I''ve been doing something like this for applications that have a client and server component... node base_node { include syslog_ng::client }} node app_node inherits base_node { } node syslog_server inherits base_node { include syslog_ng::server } ... because I want the client portion, syslog-ng in this case to be installed on everything. However, the server node also has a

Hi all, Is everyone switched over to the Google lists? I''m basically ready for the switch, I think, and doing so would be one more closed loop for me. I notice we''ve only got a bit over 300 subscribers to the Puppet Users list, while my madstop list has nearly 600. This is a bit depressing, but it probably represents a better idea of who''s actually using the
