Currently and going forward people will be running multiple versions of puppet. What are the plans for puppet compatibility with Modules? Thinking we may want to be able to specify what version of Puppet is running and ask for the compatible module. (Which may be the same).

Over the years many shops have come to start running puppet via cron to address memory leaks in earlier versions of Ruby, but the official position was that puppet was meant to be run as a continually running service. I am wondering if the official position has changed. On one hand many if not all of the early Ruby issues have been fixed, on the other, the addition of mcollective into the mix as

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

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

Howdy, Before I go about writing one myself, anyone out there written a software inventory module/fact for gathering a list of all installed rpms/debs on a system?

All, Can someone give me some ideas as to, or point me to where I can find documentation on the issues I may have upgrading puppet from 0.25.4 to the latest? Also, the server is using passenger, and I know there''s a whole lot of magic voodoo that has to happen to make sure that the version numbers of all the bits are compatible.

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

Anyone have experience and willing to share for Beanstalk? e.g. How does Puppet fit in when we mainly use AWS Elastic Beanstalk?

Hi guys, I totally love Puppet. I"m installing an ubuntu virtual machine with it and have managed to get the most rudimentary stuff working. My virtual machine runs 5.10 and I am needing 5.12. Does anyone know how to specify an install of Perl-5.12 in my .pp file? Any pointers would be appreciated... Julian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

Hi, I am using puppet as my configuration solution, it is a very good for system-level configuration management and compliance. But it is not good at batch jobs. For now, I have three options: puppi, MCollective and ControlTier. I don''t know much about them. Can anyone give me some advices that which of them is better at batch jobs.

Hello Everyone, I''m still pretty new with puppet so please bare with me. I tried searching and I''m pretty sure I''ve ready my answer but I''m not sure if I''m going down the right path just yet.

Hi Everybody, I''m playing around with the engines created by James Adam and I bumped into the following. I would like the rake bootstrap command to use the testing database and I just know there''s an easy way to do so. I could have just copied the dev db''s to the test db''s but I think I''m missing something fundamental here. Hints are very welcome.

Hi, I worked with puppet (< 0.25) back in 2008/2009. We were able to deploy 200 servers from scratch and manage them. It worked fine. I''m now with a new customer and I''m pushing Puppet (and I''m also back to puppet on a side project). We''re considering Puppet 2.6 to manage RHEL/CentOS 5 or 6 hosts.
