http://saltstack.org/ http://puppetlabs.com/mcollective/ I found this link that talks about Func, Rundeck, Salt and mcollective, but it doesn''t really compare and contrast. http://www.coloandcloud.com/editorial/func-mcollective-salt-and-rundeck/(From a 10,000 overview Saltstack and mcollective look very similar. IE: both integrate with facter/puppet, have queuing mechanisms, allow remote

Hi, I''m building a staging environement and I would like it to be able to redeploy automatically, after each commit - or every hour, some applications. Those applications are right now deployed and set up by puppet. I wonder if I should use puppet to redeploy those applications after each commit, and if I should how trigger, on the puppet, a full redeployement of the application ? --

I am experiencing a curious event, and wondering if others have seen this... As well, I have a question related to it. Today, I noticed my puppet summary report from Foreman this morning, that 60 of my 160 hosts all stopped reporting at nearly the exact same time, and have not since restarted. Investigating, it appears that my puppetmaster temporarily ran out of disk space on the /var

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

I have a puppet server and various puppet agents. I want to do mcollective stuff. So please anyone tell me what should i install on puppet server and agent to run 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

I''m getting these errors when running ''puppet agent --test'' after doing a new installation of an agent: err: /Stage[main]/Pe_mcollective::Plugins/File[/opt/puppet/libexec/mcollective/mcollective/security/sshkey.rb]/content: change from {md5}512f42272699eaa085c83d2cc67c27ea to {md5}8fa3e9125fd917948445e3d2621d40e5 failed: Could not back up

Guys Compliments of the festive season to everyone. Ive looked at mcollective plugins from http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/mcollective-plugins/wiki And I tried / installed some of them. What im looking for is a method or really a mcollective plugin to ''aptitude safe-upgrade'' on my test VMs. Would anyone have a solution or method on how I can go about this. The only

Hi, we see a growing need for a better Configuration management for our servers. Are there any known good resources for a comparison of e.g. Puppet, Chef, Ansible etc? What would you suggest and why? :) Thanks and Regards . G?tz

Im new to puppet and installed it in my home lab to mess with, when i installed it i used the hostname rather than FQDN so went back and changed puppet and reran the certificate tool to regenerate the certificates etc, the agent works fine now but i am getting an mccollective error i think, is there anything in the config i need to change for mccollective after altering the name to the FQDN?

HI, i''m currently trying to develop a task-driven rails-based frontend for some tasks that puppet/mcollective is doing in the background ( basically some user-management and some asset queries...). But i''m currently stuck at finding some puppet/mcollective API classes for ruby. (you''ll only find results for using ruby within puppet, which is of course more obvious).

I''ve been thinking a lot about running mcollective on my production servers recently, especially about its nice integration with puppet (using facts and so on). However I''ve got some concern about its scalability - how publish/subscribe middleware scales in terms of speed and flooding the network. I run about 2000 servers. Has anyone got any experience running mcollective on

I am currently trying to get mcollective 2.2.4 up and running on RHEL 6 activeqm appears to be running and bound to the correct port, I see the server and client connections to the activemq box. However when I run mco ping all "seems to go well" except I get "No responses recieved" and above that I get the following log messages, debug 2013/05/29 17:02:12: activemq.rb:233:in

If I want to run Puppet agent only on two nodes out of ten, how can I specify this with the Host Filters?

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

We''ve been using mcollective primarily for coordinate service restart across nodes as well as facts-finding, which are all well and good. One thing we would like to utilize this tool is to create an arbitrary shell command plugins/services so our master can really act as a command center. I spoke with a couple folks and know that this is just as a matter of writing the plugin itself,

Someone told me yesterday that collective wasn''t free, New to me. Has something changed in the past month, or are they looking at the commercial version?
