Sharing my stoopid mistake in the hopes of saving someone else the same grief: I had a boolean toggle that was not performing as expected. Long story short: I had put quotes around the word "false" class { ''foo'' : boolFlag => "false" } was coming up TRUE To fix it, lose the quotes class { ''foo'' : boolFlag => false } “Sometimes I

Hello, Attempting to setup a CA primary/standby as well as seperate puppetmaster servers (all running Apache/Passenger) behind another Apache/Passenger type load balancer. Clients are not getting certs:- err: Could not request certificate: Could not intern from s: nested asn1 error Clearly an SSL issue but not something I know a great deal about. loadbalancer.conf # Puppet Load Balancing

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

Hi all, I''d like to know if it''s possible to have more verbose output when running a block-prefix script. Other than xend.log. To be more specific I''d like to use bash -x to see why I''m running into the following error: > # xm create -c host.cfg > Using config file "host.cfg". > aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff > Error: Device 51712 (vbd) could not be

Hi, I''ve been experimenting with Puppet for a few days now, and I really like it. But! I''m having real CPU usage problems. Puppet is still happily eating away 100% CPU for almost an hour at a time, with no apparent things happening. (puppetd -tv --trace --debug, but nothing appearing in the console during this.) I believe the following resource is to blame: file {

Hi I''m getting this error with a 0.25.1 puppetmaster and 0.25.1 node.

Hi - I a ran puppetd -vt against a brand newly build host (which is what I normally do for a new host) and got the usual message: err: No certificate; running with reduced functionality. info: Creating a new certificate request for sega-dev-1. info: Requesting certificate On the puppetmaster, I then list the waiting host with: puppetca --list then sign the key. In this case, I decided that the

All, I was looking at the new feature of puppet to manage switches, and it says: "A current limitation is that it isn’t possible to have 2 switches with the same interface name" Does this mean that if one switch has an interface called FastEthernet 0/1, that puppet can''t manage a second switch with an interface called FastEthernet 0/1? If so, that probably means you can

Since our move to github for pull requests and patches, the usefulness of puppet-dev has declined significantly. puppet-dev used to be a great list for development discussion of puppet and the ecosystem around it. With the information and pull request emails from github, unless everybody has finely-tuned their email clients, the puppet-dev list has turned into mostly noise. We have a goal to

I''m re-posting this because I''m not sure that it got through the first time. If someone could at least echo back that this is reaching the list, I''d appreciate it. (I''m new to the list.) Sometimes (with variable frequency) storeconfigs stores the wrong data in the fact_values table. This has the end result that exported resources, when collected, have

Hi, I''m writing puppet modules since a couple of weeks now, so I''m still considering myself as a new comer in this field. It seems that modules I can find on the web or the recipe page on the wiki almost all use a design pattern where the module is shipped in one or several class(es) whose configuration are determined by "global" or nodes variables ala: module: class

I have this: class foo::foobar ($version) { } which is called like this: class facility::sanjose inherits facility::common { class { foo::foobar: version => "1.3.13" } } puppet complains with this on the client: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Could not find parent resource type ''facility::sanjose'' of type hostclass in

Hi everyone, I have a problem with my Puppet server, the server is overloaded and processes need to add half of my farm nodes yet! The server is hosted on a blade with the following characteristics: Processors: 8 cores Memory Ram: 12 Gb Operating System: Debian Squeeze Version of parcel: 2.7.1-1 ~ bpo60 puppet 1 puppet-common 2.7.1-1 ~ bpo60 1 2.7.1-1 ~ bpo60 1 puppetmaster puppetmaster 2.7.1-1 ~

Hi, I thing this issue has been mentioned several times in this list but I can''t see any conclusion. In about 10% of all runs Puppet randomly fails on some (random) File resource either with this error: Thu Jun 24 02:40:03 +0000 2010 //<random module>/File[<random file>] (err): Failed to generate additional resources using ''eval_generate'': or this error:

Hi I''m quite new to the art of writing puppet manifest, but the more I see, the more I like it :-) I''m trying to write a djbdns dnscache module. dnscache configuration is spread in several files, for instance the ip addresses allowed to query the cache each have a file in dnscache/root/ip/ whose filename is the address. I''m trying to automate the creations of those

Folks, I''ve been looking at creating a set of man pages for puppet and I''m trying to come up with a reasonable hierarchy. I''d appreciate any suggestions. So far, here''s what I''ve come up with: - puppet(1) - puppetca(1) - puppetdoc(1) - puppetrun(1) - puppetca.conf(5) - puppetd.conf(5) - puppetmasterd.conf(5) - puppetd(8) -

I''m looking for a way to run more than one puppetmaster on the same server under passenger. Most of the puppet CPU load is waiting for the catalogs to compile. This also seems to be mostly what takes large amounts of RAM. I have storedconfigs on. I want to be able to move the fileserver to a different pool of puppetmaster processes. Is there an easy way to tell the client, either in

http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7612 The exported resources syntax: @@user { luke: ensure => present } Is concise and powerful, but very difficult to read. We should consider word-based syntax, e.g.: export @user { luke: ensure => present } And taking into account #7605, perhaps: export virtual user { luke: ensure => present } Please comment on the ticket or reply

Hi, I''m sorry if that''s a FAQ, I also know exported resources are a still experimental. So my problem might well be a design limitation of how exported resources are working. My issue: I''m trying to export a file resource that is created by an exec block. The file is exported fine and collected fine but it is always empty on the other host. The puppet snippet: class
