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.

The puppet manifest for the environment "42A" isn''t applied. The puppet version is 3.3.1-1puppetlabs1 on agent and

Hi, I''m trying to puppet kick with class option.

Is is possible to have a puppetmaster that is a client of a different puppetmaster? We manage our customers'' server via puppet, but one customer has a puppetmaster server which looks after their internal systems. We''ve tried the following in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf ("customer" and "us" replacing the domain names) on their puppetmaster: [puppetmasterd]

Hi folks, When I enabled stored configs on my puppet master, it began keeping lots of open connections to the MySQL server (as far as I understand it opened one connection for each client run and never closed them). I set up the server to close idle connections after 5 minutes. Now the database server does close the connections but the puppet master keeps them in CLOSE_WAIT state and eventually

Hello I am thinking that it is better to do a cvs export of a project once, on the puppetmaster box, rather than do the same cvs export on all puppet clients, yes? If so, how does one do this? Do you run puppetd on the same box as puppetmasterd and set up the cvs export as an exec for only the node with the same hostname as the puppetmaster? Thanks Jesse Jesse Reynolds Virtual

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

Hi All, I am setting up puppetmaster with nginx and passenger and separating the Puppetmaster primary CA server.

Could I use my local laptop as a puppet master, and only start up the puppetmaster when I have a change I want to send over to the nodes? Say I only have 1 server, and I don''t want or even need a puppetmaster running all the time. Is this or something close to this type of setup possible? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet

Hi, I have a Puppet Enterprise (2.0) puppetmaster running with Foreman, and having trouble getting it working as an External Node Classifier. In short, if I manually add a test client into site.pp, it will retrieve the proper catalog / classes, but I would like to avoid having to do that. I''m also using environments (production/testing/ development) as well, but think I have most of

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

I had some questions come up today during the Puppet demo here: 1. Is there any way to apply different intervals to different classes? For example, we might want a security baseline manifest to run once a month, package installation files once/day, etc. Since we''re a brokerage, we also don''t want ANY system changes during trading hours. I guess we could cron killing the

I was looking into the reporting features in puppet today and realized that though I want the reports I don''t want to bog my puppetmasters down with the task of generating the rrd and png files. Also I already have a server set up to do reporting on various other things that already has the space/CPU cycles and that''s where everyone already goes to look for information. Plus we

Hi- I recently upgrade from 0.24 to 0.25. In my 0.24 config, I had LDAP working such that Puppet was matching nodes in my directory to determine what classes to apply. I upgraded to 0.25 and this stopped working. I do not even see attempts from the Puppetmaster to search the directory (i.e., no connections to the ldap server). I *did* update the puppetmasterd conf, adding the variable

Hello, i have a couple of VLAN where each has its own subnet, now I would like to use one puppetserver for all these machines. the puppetserver has a DNS entry for each subnet and its own IP-Address VLAN 1: puppet-vm1.domain1 172.1.0.1/255.255.255.0 VLAN 2: puppet-vm1.domain2 172.1.1.1/255.255.255.0 ..... the hostname of the puppetserver is puppet-vm1.domain0, puppet created a

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

Hi! I''ve spent quite a while before I understood that for Puppet to see changes in custom functions'' code Puppetmaster needs to be restarted. Is this a normal behaviour or may be it''s a bug ? -- Best regards, Sergey Arlashin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Hi. Have anyone ever managed several geographically distributed systems with Puppet? I have several almost exactly similar deployments (except the server IP''s), which management I''m looking to convert to Puppet. I have 2 options: * Have each deployment to host it''s own PuppetMaster for providing local configurations, then synchronize somehow the PuppetMasters (maybe

Hello, Is it possible to configure an ENC to provide class definition to a number of nodes at the same time where a few other nodes are controlled in the site.pp by node ''FQDN'' {blah} for the same puppetmaster ? I am wondering once parameters are set for the master to look for an ENC based definitions, will it conflict with the site.pp node definitions ? For example these
