When an error occurs in prerun_command, puppet continues execution instead of stopping. We can see the error at the log file, but puppet cotinues doing changes: puppetd[18430]: Failed to prepare catalog: Could not run command from prerun_command: Execution of ''/path/to/command'' returned 1: We want to prevent changes when an error occurs in prerun_command. Our puppet.conf:

Hi, We''re using thin stored configs heavily to manage things like Munin and Nagios and we''re currently wondering what to do when nodes go away, or change considerably. If we get rid of a server then all it''s stored config is still present in the database, as well as it''s nagios and munin configurations. We created a script that iterates through the database

I have very strange problem. I set up puppet client on serveral servers but have problem with one of them. When I invoke: root@www ~ # puppet agent --server puppetmaster.domain.ltd --test notice: Ignoring --listen on onetime run info: Caching catalog for puppetclient.domain.ltd info: Applying configuration version ''1326444431'' notice: Finished catalog run in

Hi all, I''m looking for background information about how bug #7127[1] should be fixed: prerun_command don''t stop puppet on error I think there''s general agreement that if the prerun command fails, then the catalog should not be applied, but the report should be sent, and the report''s status should be "failed". However, what about the post-run

Hi List, I would like to discuss with whoever is interested one topic that I suppose has general interest. I want to implement some kind of automatic testing on the status of a node after a Puppet Run. These tests involve trivial and less trivial things things like: - A local service is running - A local port is open - A remote server on a remote port is reachable by the node - An URL replies

Hello Everybody, We need to open some ports on the target machine, let''s say 694:udp and 3306:tcp I couldn''t find any documentation how can I do this with Puppet. What the best way of doing this?

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 everyone, I recently ran into an issue where my puppetmaster can''t run puppet on itself. It errors out with the following: Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: execution expired Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run I''m running Puppet 3 with passanger and puppetdb (hsql). I''ve tried restarting

I''m very interested in the way that puppet appears to be able to generate nagios configurations though I can''t seem to find any documenation on how it works: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/naginator is clearly a placeholder page... Meanwhile the various pieces of info at links such as: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/TypeReference#nagios-host are just teasing me.

Hello ! I''m trying to implement a Nagios solution based on David Schmitt''s Complete Config. But I the following error when running puppetd -t - v : notice: Starting catalog run err: //Node[monitoring]/nagios::target/Nagios::Host[]/File[/conf.d/ _host.cfg]/ensure: change from absent to present failed: Could not set present on ensure: No such file or directory - /conf.d/

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.

I''ve tried to achieve my overall goals with several different features of Puppet, but I''ve hit a bit of a wall here. I think it''s time for me to explain what I''m trying to accomplish: I want the enabling of a service in my manifests to configure the monitoring of that service by a nagios server, without needless repetition. Let me explain how my

Observe the following code sniget: user { nagios : comment => "Nagios Host Monitoring Service", shell => "/bin/bash", home => "/home/nagios", ensure => present } file { nagios-homedir : path => "/home/nagios", owner => "nagios",

Howdy, our puppet master is hosting nagios at the same time. it happens that the compilation of the catalog for the master during a puppet run produces a timeout: === err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: execution expired warning: Not using cache on failed catalog err: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run === If the whole nagios part is commented out for the master host

Hi, ppl I dont know what to do. I configure a new client do sync with my server. the server accept de client_cert without errors and then when i run the "puppet agent -t" agaion i got this error output info: Retrieving plugin err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Failed to generate additional resources using ''eval_generate: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server

Couple of questions. Firstly, what''s the plugin error about? puppet agent --onetime --test --verbose info: Retrieving plugin err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Could not evaluate: Could not retrieve information from source(s) puppet://puppet/plugins info: Caching catalog for mon01.ap1.xxx.com info: Applying configuration version ''1346878830'' err:

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 have a requirement where I want a Fact to be stored in PuppetDB during the manifest run and not during the initial fact gathering phase. I know I can, in my manifests, create a file in /etc/facter/facts.d or I can write a Ruby script that will then be distributed by plugin sync. But both of these methods will only publish the fact during the initial phase of the puppet agent run. What I

In a bunch of my templates and manifests, I need to have logic which depends on whether or not a particular (other) puppet class is going to be installed on the machine. For example, for setting up the proper nagios monitors, you''d want to say something like "if this machine has the apache class, then configure apache monitoring" It''s not feasible I think to put this

Hi, I have a Ruby class in "nagios" module - it''s located in nagios/ manifests/ssa_nagios_checks.rb and looks like this hostclass :ssa_nagios_checks do ... end In nagios/manifests/init.pp I have class nagios::server { ... include ssa_nagios_checks ... } And I get the following error .... debug: importing ''/etc/puppet/modules/nagios/manifests/
