similar to: running and configuring puppetd as a daemon at a set time

I have a substantial number of Windows hosts running puppet 3.1.1 with the following in their puppet.conf: runinterval = 1800 > splay = true > splaylimit = 900 However in checking puppet logs, I''m finding that these hosts are dialing in at 30 minute intervals +/- 5-10 seconds. Can someone provide me an example puppet.conf that is properly implementing the splay feature on a

(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

Hello there I''m having this error: Could not call fileserver.describe: #<Errno:: ECONNRESET: Connection reset by peer> From what i can tell, eventually the master decides it has had enough and freezes. I''ve got about 25 hosts checking in to it, but restarting the master daemon appears to be only a partial solution with the clients occasionally not being able to then

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

Now, I am getting this .... Thanks for the help! puppet5 : Cannot validate input: Unknown validator: ''puppet_server_address''. Cannot validate input: Unknown validator: ''puppet_server_address''.puppetdev04 : Puppet command ''puppet agent --test --onetime --daemonize --color=false --no-splay

Hello, Running into a problem when wanting to daemon-ize the agent. It doesnt seems to do anything: - cannot find any daemon process with (ps aux | grep puppet) - the config is not updated after editing some params on the master - /var/log/puppet stay empty... while, when logged as root, it is working without issue with $puppet agent --test. ##Conf Ubuntu 12.04 Puppet 2.7.11 ## Daemon is

I went through all the ''getting started'' stuff, and have a puppetmaster and several test clients configured. I''m not clear as to how the puppetmaster manages the puppet configurations on the clients ... while it would obviously be possible to add puppet.conf as a distributed file, I''m guessing there''s probably a better way to manage this sort

Hi all, I am using puppet with an ENC script. In this scripts YAML output the environment (generally "production") is set. For testing purposes I would like to start puppet runs from the cmdline of a managed host like: $ puppet agent --onetime --no-daemonize --verbose --no-splay --environment development The problem is the --environment Parameter is not being used if an environment

Greetings, Shouldn''t puppetd -o --ignoreschedules ... imply that splay* options are ignored :-) If that''s not the intended behavior could we get a --run-now that ignores splay* and schedules? Cheers, Ryan

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

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

After upgrading my puppetmaster to 0.24.7 from 0.24.6 i am getting the following errors in the puppetmaster logs. Any help would be appreciated. Thu Dec 18 16:11:39 +1100 2008 Puppet (err): Could not store configs: undefined method `environment='' for #<Puppet::Rails::Host:0xb72c0c38> I do not use environment''s and they are not defined anywhere in the puppet.conf

So I have been trying to run puppet once in my kickstart %post scripts but every time it detaches and daemonizes even though I have explicitly stated otherwise. Am I missing something? # rpm -q puppet puppet-0.24.8-1 # /usr/sbin/puppetd --onetime --no-daemonize --verbose --debug debug: Creating default schedules debug: Failed to load library ''shadow'' for feature

I have very strange problem. I set up puppet client on serveral servers but have problem with one of them.

Hi guys, I have a box that needs to identify itself to the puppetmaster as something different from the FQDN. I added certname to the agent configuration before the first run, but it doesn''t seem to be sufficient. The certificate was generated for the FQDN, and the host appears in the dashboard as the FQDN, and the node name used to evaluate the manifest is also the FQDN. I would

Hello, all. I am getting the following error on a couple of my puppet nodes when I run puppetd -v -o --no-daemonize --no-splay: err: Could not retrieve catalog: undefined method `-'' for #<XMLRPC::DateTime:0xb7c729e8> The error goes away if I add --ignorecache, but I''m not sure that''s quite the fix I''m hoping for. It will also go away if i remove my

Hello there I''m just testing a module (see merging directories) and it is quite involved, in that it: __generic__ 1) creates a user 2) creates a base directory 3) copies generic files (directory with recursion) 4) generate a configuration file from a template 5) creates a symlink __os specific__ 6) copies os specific files (in my scenario two folders, and an init script) 7)

Greetings all, My deployment of puppet includes a monitrc to make sure that puppetd stays up and running. It seems like (across all of my hosts) that pupeptd will end up dying and restarted by monit. I''m running puppetd under a screen session now on one particular host with --debug --verbose to see if any thing comes out on console but until it happens again, any anybody else

Hello All, I am trying to put puppet into push mode only. The instructions I''ve seen have said to put listen=true in puppet.conf but that doesn''t seem to have stopped the pull every 30 minutes. What else needs to be set? Thanks, Jim -- “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines.
