similar to: Why use a DB with Puppet?

I have updated the 1100 clients that prior to the update used to connect to the master just fine. Now after about 30 minutes of running, puppetmasterd starts to complain "puppetmasterd[6875]: Too many connections", and from that point forward will stop compiling catalogs. Puppetmaster is configured using the Mongrel Apache configuration as described here:

Hi all, i'' m trying to configure puppet to use rails with postgresql. I'' m having troubles to make it work. Got no error when running puppetmasterd but nothing is being populated in the DB. Is anybody using puppet with postgres ? my config (in puppet.conf) [rails] dbadapter = postgresql dbname = mydb dbserver = localhost dbuser = user dbpassword = password

Hi Guys, Im trying to turn on storeconfigs with a mysql db backend. On my testing server in our lab, i configured this successfully and can see if keeping information on all test hosts. When trying to implent the same idea onto our production puppet server, I get the following errors: Aug 26 16:35:53 opsynxsr0097 puppetmasterd[27003]: (/Settings[/etc/

Hi there! I´m trying to get my PuppetmasterDB running. Problem is, though I´m not getting any errors from the puppetmaster there is nothing stored in the database, not even tables are created. I tried "puppetmasterd --dbmigrate", didn´t help either. rails.log is kinda empty too.. Thing is: it kinda works anyway, there is just nothing stored in the DB - exported a user on host A,

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:

Hi all, hoping someone may have encountered a problem similar to this before: On my customer''s EC2 based infrastructure, we have implemented the nodeless, truth driven module outlined by Jordan Sissel here http://www.semicomplete.com/blog/geekery/puppet-nodeless-configuration. It''s quite an effective model, especially in the realm of EC2... we still have a puppetmaster

Just wondering if anyone is using a backend database other than sqlite, and if so, how easy/hard it was to configure. I''m constantly receiving "SQLite3::BusyException: database is locked..." which I presume is due to sqlite''s relatively coarse locking method.

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 think I''m having a similar problem to the user who raised this bug: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/ticket/733 I''m running 0.23.2 with storeconfigs. I''ve got it working to the point where my clients'' facts are being populated in the database[*] but updates don''t seem to happen unless I restart puppetmasterd. For example: 1) I run my test

Hello, I just installed the latest version of puppet and puppetmaster on an up to date RHEL4 system. If I turn on ''storeconfigs'' on the puppetmaster server I get the following error: debug: Calling puppetmaster.getconfigerr: Could not retrieve configuration: Uncaught exception No such file to load -- sqlite3 in method puppetmaster.getconfig I have gems and rails installed

Hi guys, I''ve just checkout the puppetshow code, and I was looking for the setup.ppfile, but I cant find it anywhere.... anyone has an idea where should i look for it? (or what needs to be done?)

Hello All, I don''t seem to be able to get reports to display on the foreman interface. I copied extras/puppet/foreman/files/foreman-report.rb to / usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/reportsforeman.rb, instead of /usr/ lib/ruby/1.8/puppet/reports/foreman.rb. Config: Centos5.4, Apache/ Passenger, Puppet 0.25.4. The reports are coming from the clients, because I can see them in

I''m seeing these in my logs on my puppetmaster: puppetmasterd[4111]: Could not store configs: SQLite3::SQLException: SQL logic error or missing database: DELETE FROM fact_values WHERE "id" = 8 currently this is 0.24.0 relect from some previously collected resource that wasn''t cleaned up? upgrade issue? nothing to worry about? that''s the only

So I''m trying to get multiple environments to work with puppet 0.25.1 on ubuntu 8.04 and no matter what I do, puppet just completely ignores any environment setting. There''s really next to no information in terms of configuration on the multiple environments documentation page (http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/UsingMultipleEnvironments) other than saying that the

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:

I updated some of my gems, and I think it may be the reason I am getting the following error when the agents try to retrieve a catalog. err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: The single-table inheritance mechanism failed to locate the subclass: ''Host::Managed''. This error is raised because the column ''type'' is reserved for

Hello Gang, I''m working on scaling my puppet solution, and I''m deploying multiple masters w/ passenger that are going sit behind a load balancer. If anyone is using these type of setup, would you share how you deal with the SSL certs? I''ve been following Bode''s Blog (http://bodepd.com/wordpress/?p=7), and it''s not working to good for me.

hi all, we maintain about 30 puppet managed nodes. the version of the clients is 0.23.0 and 0.23.1. the master is 0.23.0. today we installed a new CentOS 5 node with David Lutterkort''s puppet 0.23.2 rpm. this host is a reinstall of an old FC4 on new hardware. we are getting this error on 0.23.2, never happened before: | Could not retrieve configuration: | Failed to parse template

-----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

Hello, Anyone have any luck getting storeconfigs + MySQL working? I was getting some freaky uninformative errors: err: Could not call: wrong number of arguments (1 for 0) It''d be great if we could get a wiki page up, there appears to be a pretty large consensus of people who are unable to get it running.
