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 all, We have a mixed Linux and Windows environment and have so far just been using Puppet on our Linux servers. Having configured the inventory service, we''ve got an auditing script that uses the data to report on things like OS version, RAM, etc. This is all so nice that we''d like to extend it to auditing our Windows infrastructure. However, at this point in time, we have

hi All, I''m a bit new to puppet. Is there a mailing list for puppet beginners?:) I have a service module called postfix, which defines file in a class: file { ''/etc/postfix/main.cf'': owner => "root", group => "root", mode => 644, content =>

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

Hi all, I have three parameterized classes, named mq, mq_gsk and apache. The mq class always calls the mq_gsk class, but the apache class should only call the mq_gsk class when the mq class is not used in a hosts'' node definition Here is my configuration class mq ( $gsk_version = undef ) { require mq::params < ..... > class { ''mq_gsk'':

Hi all I have been pondering this for a while, but not yet seen a clean way to do it I have a few puppet classes (apache/ntp/mysql/bacula/nagios/etc) I would like to generate part of my bacula and nagios configs for each host based on which other classes that host belongs to (or to put it another way, I would like to export variables from classes which would be used by my bacula and nagios

I''m having some trouble with getting an ENC to work alongside site.pp: Even with a ''default'' node definition, and an ENC that only returns 0, regardless of input, consistently results in a ''cannot find node'' error. I''m wondering what I''ve missed here. I''ve tried to reduce everything to a ''base case'': and

I am considering installing a Puppet agent on a legacy server running an old, crappy, slow, leaky, yet important Java app. Nervous about introducing anything that might (further) destabilize the app. What are people''s experiences with Puppet in terms of resource usage (CPU/ memory/network/etc)? For starters will likely run it on the standard daemon schedule. Ultimately may want to control

Hi, Since the below is a little long, I put my question at the top: how do I troubleshoot awful exported resources performance in puppet and is there anything I can tweak to get it to run under 10 minutes in larger environments? I have a fairly modest environment (118 nodes, but prod will be at least twice as large). I''m trying to move my distributed nagios setup to one based on

Hi, I currently have puppet setup and backed into the dashboard and using ENC. I wish to control as much of the configuration of machines via the dashboard. However, I have a requirement to call a module/class multiple times and was wondering if this is possible? in a normal manifest I''d do this with the following: node "somenode" { somemodule::submodule {

Hello, I can''t figure out how I can use the module puppetlabs-firewall only for some targeted nodes. If I put : resources { "firewall": purge => true } in top scope (i.e. site.pp), then all the firewall rules on all my nodes are purged. Even for nodes for which I don''t apply any module containing specific firewall { ... } resources. If I put it in a module

My ENC has always added some extra classes not defined in puppet (things that I might end up using later based on the host name, department, or other attributes associated with the host in my database). In 0.25.5 the undefined class was reported at (info), in 2.6.9 it was reported as (warning), but in 2.7.3 it''s an (err) ? This now causes my catalog to stop processing. Why the change
