Hi, I was wondering what people out there are doing to monitor puppetd in large environments. I''d love to hear what the best practices are around this. We have a few hundred hosts and are currently looking at the timestamps on the yaml files in /var/lib/puppet/yaml/facts/ on puppetmasters to make sure all clients are alive. Is it true that for a given client the fact file on the

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 am working on setting up a Puppet configuration where some of the data is stored on a DRBD volume. The modules and vardir are stored on the drbd volume. The puppet.conf files point to the drbd volume for vardir. I created a cert for a VIP puppet-master using the puppetca -- create command I had everything working on the primary drbd node, but when I fail over, everything starts up fine, but I

I also made the changes below in the puppet.conf file to tell puppet where to look for the the modules and manifests. I then restart the puppet master then ran puppet command to apply changes to a puppet client it did not find anything to change just got these three lines "info: Caching catalog for pdlnx-adpt03.kareoprod.ent, info: Applying configuration version

Hi, When I run puppet agent --test --environment 42A, I have the following warning : Warning: Local environment: "42A" doesn''t match server specified node environment "production", switching agent to "production". ... The puppet manifest for the environment "42A" isn''t applied. The puppet version is 3.3.1-1puppetlabs1 on agent and

Hi all, I think i''m forgetting something. If i do: "puppet apply manifiests/site.pp" it works perfectly, loading modules i have include in site.pp file. site.pp: cat manifiests/site.pp node default { include ntp, motd } But it does not work if i run puppet agent. puppet agent --test --server=debianita.user.arinso --environment production Info: Retrieving plugin Info:

on my puppet master server (v 2.7.17 , both server and client version) , the puppet agent can''t connect to itself. other clients connected to this puppet server are working fine. the hostname is puppet.domain.com [root@puppet /]# cat /etc/puppet/puppet.conf [main] # The Puppet log directory. # The default value is ''$vardir/log''. logdir = /var/log/puppet

Hi all, I''m doing a new install of my puppet server and I''m doing it like: 1.-) adding epel repo: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#howtouse 2.-) yum -y install puppet-server 3.-) rm -rf /etc/puppet 4.-) copy my old puppet conf (from puppet-0.24.5 to 0.24.6) mv /etc/puppet.old /etc/puppet 5.-) start puppetmaster: [gridinstall etc]# /etc/init.d/puppetmaster start

Hello All, So I finally got around to start to cut over node definitions from standard flat files to external nodes (foreman), and getting error message: "Error 400 on SERVER: Could not find node ''nodename''; cannot compile" - So basically it can''t pick up the node from the external node config. When I test the fetching of the yaml file it seems to work

Hello, Everybody! I need to allow my developers to run a special script on QA servers and nowhere else. I put this sort of thing in place: class app-server { packages: foo:; bar:; baz:; if $environment == ''qa'' { file { ''a'': content => ... } } which feels kinda kludgey to me. Is there a better way to handle unique cases like this

I''m not sure at all what''s going on here, but I''ve spent a lot of time reading over the puppet hiera docs and setting everything up, but when I run puppet agent it just seems to ignore the hiera setup completely. Both the puppet master and agent nodes have exactly the same versions of puppet and hiera (installed via the official puppet APT repository). I''ve

All, I have --confdir=/etc/puppet/common in my /etc/init.d/puppetmaster and /etc/init.d/puppet files, vardir set to /var/lib/puppet in /etc/puppet/common/puppet.conf, and yet, every time I run puppetca it creates /etc/puppet/ssl. Anyone know why? Doug. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group. To post to this group, send email

Hello. I use puppet 2.6.3-rc2 Now I try move my classes to modules. But I got a problem that Puppet does not sees modules. in puppet.conf: [main] logdir = /var/log/puppet rundir = /var/run/puppet ssldir = $vardir/ssl libdir = /opt/puppet-dashboard/lib/puppet modulepath=$confdir/modules In nodes : node postgres { include basesystem include postgres } In

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

Hello, I am trying to figure out what the best way to use puppet when I am using passenger. I noticed that if I log in as my normal user on Ubuntu 12.04, and run "puppet config print" it gives me the incorrect configuration than what I think I am running when I am using apache/passenger/puppet For example, it shows my confdir as being in my users homedir/.puppet instead of

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, I''m writing my first puppet function rspec test and am having a problem which I don''t see how to solve. The function (and the test) involve access to files through the File Server. In order for the function (and the test) to work I need to pass "--fileserverconf=fileserver.conf" parameter to Puppet. So far I haven''t found a way to do that. If I

Hi, I''m pretty sure I once did some experiments with running puppet wihtout a puppertmasterd - but having a "normal" puppet manifests and modules structure in /etc/puppet. Sadly, I can''t find how to do that anymore. I know I can write plain puppet instructions in a file.pp and run them plainly - but I want the whole config as if it would reside on a server) When I

If I externalise my Puppet module config to a directory outside of Puppet using the modulepath / manifestdir settings: [main] pluginsync=true modulepath=/home/ec2-user/projects/qmg-puppet/etc/puppet/modules manifestdir=/home/ec2-user/projects/qmg-puppet/etc/puppet/ manifests the agents log the following error: "Could not evaluate: Could not retrieve information from source(s)

My understanding was that at the beginning of each run the puppetmaster imports all modules so that any includes at the top level are applied directly. However, I am not so sure anymore. I''ve been tracing how this works and it seems like modules are included more lazily. In other words, when able_to_import is called seems like when the magic happens, rather than up front when the run
