I''ve been trying to find information, suggestions, etc. for how to combine scaling Puppet with the use of management tools like Dashboard/Foreman and MCollective. Our current thinking for an initial deployment is two VMs as Puppet Master worker nodes fronted by a pair of NetScalers. However, I''m not sure how to go about implementing Dashboard or Foreman and MCollective servers in

Hi everyone, I run MCollective 1.2.1 together with ActiveMQ 5.5 under Scientific Linux 6.1 on Amazon EC2. Overall it works like a charm, but sometimes (eg. 1/30) discovery fails. Still the exit-code of mco will be 0, which is a problem for me as I use MCollective e.g. to trigger deployments from Jenkins. I would like to ask for some feedback on the following ideas, that could fix this problem.

Hi, I have looked all over the place and can''t seem to find a complete answer to my query I am setting up MCollective to run alongside my puppet deployment and am having some problems getting it to play as I want it to Basically, I need to make sure that puppet NEVER makes any changes without them being triggered by someone (I honestly can''t see how anyone would ever want

Hi, I am writing scripts for deployment of our software and I am also using MCollective on linux. I hope to use MCollective in order to reduce the requirement of opening a putty session to each VM and running the puppet agent manually the first time (when its registers/ creates keys etc). The problem I see with this is that I need to log in to each machine and install/configure mcollective

Hi All, I have a working installation of a Puppet Master (CA) with Puppet agents, this using The Foreman. I really see the usage of Puppet this way but because The Foreman supports pushing your classes/templates to you nodes (agents) and uses the depricated Run/Kick for it I''m looking into Mcollective. Mcollective is supported by The Foreman since 1.2, the version I''m

Hi, I deployed MCollective to our Puppet clients. approx. ~ 200. Our platform requires the most secure setup possible, so PSK as securityprovider is not an option. Therefor I changed the security provider to aes_security reusing puppets certificates in the server.cfg as found in the docs (1) Our goal is to use mcollective to offload event-driven actions to agents running on designated nodes from
