We want to use Nagios to monitor out puppet server so we can be notified if it goes down. We are using Fusion Passenger and Apache on Red Hat. Any suggestion for what and how to monitor? -- Thanks, Allan Marcus 505-667-5666 Allan@lanl.gov -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Hello, I''m newbie for puppet. I would appreciate someone tells me how to use "shedule". What I want to do is puppet client( puppetd ) tries to syncronize /etc/ hosts permission as 644, and puppetd tries to check every 3 minutes. ( I know 3 min is so quick, this is just a test of "schedule") So I wrote manifests/site.pp, > node default { > schedule {

Hello, I''m trying to add an environment variable as fact like this : #export $FACTER_test="infof" #facter | grep test test => infof But my fact don''t synchronize with puppet master. I don''t see it in / var/puppet/yaml/clientfile.yaml If I want this works, I''ve need to start puppet like this : #puppetd -vt --factsync but factsync''s

After an unexpected and unreasonably long hiatus, I''ve finally returned to implementing Puppet in my environment. My puppetmaster: Puppet 0.25.4, Facter 1.5.7, Ruby 1.8.7, and FreeBSD 8.0. I''ve got five clients using the puppetmaster so far. After about 24 hours, I''ve got three puppetmaster processes running. This number continues to grow over time. If stored configs

Hi, Can I execute a command basis on some criteria in puppet. For example, I would want to execute the following command svn up; /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl restart only if "revision number of file on host = revision number of file on svn" i.e. "/usr/bin/svn info /usr/local/apache/conf/Web_Config/httpd.conf | grep Revision| cut -d: -f2| sed -e''s/

Just one more email and I''ll let you go for a few hours :) One of the things I like to see in apps is that they are immediately intuitive and easy to use for new users. I think Puppet is really good here, but there''s opportunity to make everything better. We want everyone to love Puppet from their first few minutes using it, all the way through to datacenter nirvana.

Hi all I searched around and found there used to be an IP alias type in puppet, but it was dropped because it only really worked on Redhat-type OSes. I only need it on Redhat, :) [ mainly for apache SSL vhosts]; does anyone know where the code went? I''d settle for a definition/template based solution; think I have a good feel for what it should look like. Does anyone use anything they

I am trying to connect a solaris puppet client version 2.6.4 to a linux puppet master server. I am getting a starnge message as below and the puppetca on the master is not able to see the client certificate. [root@ /]$ puppetd --test --server xxxx warning: peer certificate won''t be verified in this SSL session err: Could not request certificate: time out of range Exiting; failed to

Hi I have just put puppet onto a new Ubuntu install and it ran a couple of times but now I get Execution of ''/etc/puppet/etckeeper-commit-pre'' returned 1: whenever puppetd runs. Grepping on etckeeper-commit turns up lots of posts to ubuntu and debian forums about changes made in February. Does anyone know what the story is? I''ve ended up with a screwed pam

Hi gang, Is it possible to test if a particular resource has already been defined? I''d like to do something like this: if !Host["$fqdn"] { host {"$fqdn": ip => "$ipaddress_eth0" } } Essentially, test to see if there is no Host resource defined for the current server and if not, add a host entry for itself using the IP address of eth0. Possible?

Hey folks - I''m running into some weirdness getting ssh keys realized properly. The manifest I''m working with is here: http://www.pastie.org/1744771 . I''m using 2.6.3 epel repo on a Centos 5.5 box . The expected behaviour is to have the user created and their public key put in their authorized_keys as well as the studio_app user''s authorized_keys. What ends

Hey all, I''ve open-sources Digg''s apache module: http://github.com/plathrop/puppet-module-apache I know this isn''t much more advanced than what I''ve seen a lot of people using. Here''s my proposition, though. Let''s get all the disparate "apache" modules out there merged together into One Awesome Module. What do you think? One module

Hi all We''ve just released version 0.3.4 of the puppet-module tool used to create and retrieve modules from the Puppet Labs Forge (http://forge.puppetlabs.com). You can update using Ruby gems: $ gem install puppet-module There are several important changes in this release: * Add ability to install modules with hyphens * Add check for symlink when installing * Install modules to their

Hi- Recently starting using puppet while migrating an existing messy group of systems to some nice new hardware. Things are going incredibly well, and puppet''s functioning great. Have a bit of a headache. I''d like to keep myself from duplicating lots of included classes. Lets say I have this (snippet of a) class: class dbserver { file { "/etc/my_${db}.cnf":

Hi, installing puppet at my first site was quite easy (not w/o problems, but still). At the second site, I''ve run into something more serious. First things first - I install puppetmaster on existing server, used to keep LDAP db (my puppetmaster DOES NOT use LDAP, it just tries to coexist on the same machine). The thing is, I need to puppet this baby, so I''m running into a

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

Here is my class class puppetconf { file { "/etc/puppet/puppetd.conf": mode => 644, owner => root, group => root, source => "puppet://puppet/cci/etc/puppet/puppetd.conf", notify => exec[puppet_restart] } file { "/etc/init.d/puppet": mode => 755, owner => root, group => root,

I have created my first ''fact'', first attempt at Ruby too, and configured the fileserver to server it but when a Fedora (5 or 6) client sync''s puppetd appears to hang. CentOS clients sync and use the new fact fine. Find attached the fact file and the output from ''puppetd --debug --factsync'' on a FC5 client is below. This is a 0.20.1 client and

I''m just starting a roll out of Puppet and I''m seeing a problem on maybe 25% of client nodes. The symptoms are that the clients stop updating. In the Puppetmaster log, I''m seeing things like: Feb 9 20:10:23 vs4 puppetmasterd[17942]: Compiled catalog for xxxx in 0.05 seconds Feb 9 20:40:41 vs4 puppetmasterd[17942]: Compiled catalog for xxxx in 0.05 seconds Feb 9

Heya, I''m using puppet on Ubuntu (Gutsy/Hardy) and there''s a problem with the default setup of Ubuntu. Ubuntu uses network-manager to start the network in the background, which in turn causes puppet to start before the network is up. Puppet will then exit because it can''t resolve the server name. Currently I "solve" this problem by uninstalling
