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.

Hello... I wanted to be able to startup an EC2 instance with one command and have a fully functioning server without having to shell into each new instance and configure the bits to allow puppet to finish the configuration. Here are some notes I came up with for bootstrapping an ec2 instance with puppet using Ubuntu 10.04. I left out a lot of things about creating and running custom AIM

Hi, I have been getting the below error for sometime now. Both master and client are using version 0.24.8. Output from /var/log/messages err: Could not call puppetmaster.getconfig: #<#<Class:0xb7b50a9c>: execution expired> err: Could not retrieve catalog: execution expired P.S- all of this was working absolutely fine and suddenly has started to misbehave.

Hi All, In my set-up, I''ve got a cron job that triggers a Puppet run every 20 minutes. I''ve found that on approximately 13 nodes (out of 166), puppetd just hangs. I have to go in, kill the process, remove /var/lib/puppet/state/puppetdlock, and run puppet again and then it''s fine. After a while, it just hangs again so I have to go in, kill the process, etc. Any ideas?

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

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

Hello All, Moving from 2.5 to 2.6.2 and I was wondering if there is a preferred directory structure for using multiple environments? Does it work much different in 2.6 than in 2.5? When I made the move I assumed (I know) that my current structure and configurations would just roll over but that isn''t the case.

Our puppetmaster runs 0.24.8 on Ubuntu 9.10. Our clients are either Ubuntu 9.10 or Ubuntu 8.04. We''ve just brought up our first Ubuntu 10.04 machine. This machine installs puppetd 0.25.4. The Ubuntu 10.04 machine can''t seem to present it''s certificate request properly. In my masterhttp.log, I see [2010-10-20 13:09:06] 174-143-141-55.static.cloud-ips.com - -

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

Hi All, I would like to pick your brains as to the best way to configure the below senario within puppet. I am currently configuring puppet for our environment and have seperated development/back office from production through configuring roles for each server to identify them as such. What i need to be able todo is have the production servers only update outside of office hours, but have the

So I''m new to puppet and I''m having a bear of a time just getting a test server going. I installed puppet and the puppet client via yum on CentOS on AWS, so that saved me some time. I followed a few various blog posts about getting everything set up and applying a file, etc. Now I am trying to install a module (puppetlabs/apache) and it''s failing miserably for me. I

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

I am running puppet 2.7.14 - CentOS 6 server, CentOS and windows 2008 R2 clients. I''m having problems with the "puppet kick" command - it works on linux clients, and on my windows box when "puppet agent --no-daemonize --verbose" is run from a command prompt. However, when I run it as a windows service, I get "Host blah failed: Connection refused -

Hello! By default puppet node connects to server periodically and looks if there is something execute. I''m wondering is it possible to make puppet clients not connect to server themselves?

Hi, I have a problem with augeas, puppet and Suse 10 SP2. Augeas works when I use the augtool to edit files. But I would like to use it in combination with puppet.

Hi all, The last 2 weeks we have been having problems with puppetd just randomly stopping.

Hi all, I''m running puppet agent as a onetime process. I would expect, if it can''t create the pid file, that it would exit non-zero. However, it seems to exit zero. Is there any way to change this? I''d like to know if it couldn''t run, and it seems that this is an error. [root@db1r1 ~]# puppet agent --onetime --detailed-exitcodes [root@db1r1 ~]# puppet
