similar to: puppet/naginator?

We were using Naginator resources like nagios_host, etc. along with stored configurations and exported resources. Worked pretty well. However we have to separate the Puppet master and the Icinga (Nagios) server. They will be on different machines from now on. Are there any best practices for such a scenario? I already thought about some kind of ''rsync'' of the configuration from

Hi folks, For the first time since I started playing with puppet I started down the road of using exported resources This was inspired by my reading all of the nagios related recipes that went something along the lines of class nagios { package {nagios: ensure=> latest } service {nagios : ensure => running , enable => true} Nagios_host <<! !>>

Hi all, I''ve just merged in support for builtin Nagios types into the 0.24.x branch, and I''d like people to give them a once-over before I incorporate them into a release (based on a few (hopefully small) outstanding bugs in 0.24.1, I expect I''ll put out a 0.24.2 in the next week or so). The only thing I''d currently consider a gotcha right now is that

I am using stored configs to manage my nagios host and services checks and I have run into a problem that I have been unable to solve. When the stored configs are purged from puppet the nagios server correctly removes them from the services and hosts file but does not notify the nagios service and instead throws an error. So the entries are still there and nagios still reports on them until

Hi, Since the below is a little long, I put my question at the top: how do I troubleshoot awful exported resources performance in puppet and is there anything I can tweak to get it to run under 10 minutes in larger environments? I have a fairly modest environment (118 nodes, but prod will be at least twice as large). I''m trying to move my distributed nagios setup to one based on

I''ve tried to achieve my overall goals with several different features of Puppet, but I''ve hit a bit of a wall here. I think it''s time for me to explain what I''m trying to accomplish: I want the enabling of a service in my manifests to configure the monitoring of that service by a nagios server, without needless repetition. Let me explain how my

Hello all, what exactly is the "design decision" that is needed here? We currently have the problem that 0.23.2-3 (debian package) does not work when it comes to collecting exported resources. The resources are saved in the database, so picking them up is the problem (db is Mysql5.x). This is a major problem for us, since we are using this a lot for our monitoring services. I

I''ve been thinking about how to make Puppet a killer app, and I think there is one specific thing that could be done to help make that happen: People using Puppet now to consistently state what they *really* wish Puppet could do for them -- the recent thread around Puppet on Windows is in that vein, but it''s not specific enough. For example, I''d like to know what

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I''me using nagios builtin types and I''m very surprised that the parameter *name* is not available for type nagios_host ?!? This parameter is required to use inheritance (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectinheritance.html) and I don''t understand why it is not included in all nagios types ? Maybe someone has

Hi folks, I noticed an interesting problem with the nagios_* providers especially in Debian. Besides writing to the wrong file (I fixed that issue) I''ve noticed there is a umask issue where the config files end up being owned by root with perms 0640. This causes nagios to spit milk out of its nose because it cannot read the configuration files. I came up with a kludgey solution to the

Hi all, Just reading through Luke''s interview on computerworld.com.au and I came across this statement: "This topic comes up on the list periodically, however, and most people are very tight-lipped about what they''re doing with Puppet." Being the chattermouth that I am, I''d like to take this opportunity to tell you all what we''re (that is, my

I''m trying to setup a puppetmaster, and I''ve got a couple of questions. The first, is a design question. Since I expect to eventually have multiple puppetmaster servers, I''d like to name this one to be named puppet1.example.com. But I''d like my clients to connect via a cname as puppet.example.com. Is this pretty standard? Is there some more common way?

Hello, This might be called a core build not completely positive. What i want to do is make a completely customized centos 5.4 unattended CD or DVt not only installs a specific list of apps apps that i want on each system, but configures them automatically perhaps via scripts, and enables or disables services etc. Basically, i want to drop the CD or DVD in a box which will probably not have a

Hi all, I''m working on setting up Puppet to write out my Nagios configs. A few weeks back I inserted a few dummy Nagios checks into my Puppet config, and the Nagios configs were written out properly. I''ve now added loads of Nagios host and service checks like this: @@nagios_service { "check_smtp_${hostname}": check_command =>

Package: logcheck-database Severity: normal Tags: patch The rules in /etc/ignore.d/server/nagios contain the explicit version number "2". Now that lenny includes nagios3, those rules don't work anymore. Please change the rules to work for both nagios2 and 3. That can easily be done by replacing the 2 by (2|3) for example. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT

Hi I am trying to develop a night divert. Caller dials in after hours on Zap and it gets divert to a mobile number via a second Zap.

Hi, I am trying to install puppet enterprise on a fresh Debian Squeeze machine, but I am getting an error midway with no information on what went wrong. How do I troubleshoot or look for more debugging information? This is what the screen output for installation is: thanks for your help in advance! Setting up pe-rubygem-fog (1.0.0e-1puppet2) ... Setting up pe-cloud-provisioner (1.0.1-puppet1)

i thought i would run up a fedora 8 installation and take a look around, my default kickstart installation includes puppet which shouldn''t be a problem however the puppet client fails with Certificates were not trusted: hostname was not match with the server certificate The cause is obvious, the hostname of my puppetmaster is ''puppet1.mydomain.com'' and

Hello all, How are you using the sshkey type? Are you using it to list hosts and keys in a class that nodes include in order to manage /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts or something else? How does any of this relate to the sshrsakey and sshdsakey facts on the host? I read some stuff about this on the Virtual Resources page but it''s too vague for my simple mind and I''d be reluctant to use

Hi, I am looking for C/C++ codes for computing generalized inverse of a matrix. Can anyone help me in this regard? Thanks, Mahbub.
