Hello, I installed puppet-server, passenger and dashboard. I have tested every step in between to make sure all is running well and not errors are carrying forward. Dashboard worked well with my test in WEBrick. After configure the dashboard with passenger I got the message” The environment must be purely alphanumeric, not ''''” instead of the dashboard. I verified the

Hi Guys, I''m reading about dashboard and foreman, and I''m wondering if there is anyone who made a comparison of the two? Can anyone help me decide which one to use?

I''m playing around with foreman for the moment. I can''t seem to figure out how to make the dashboard look like in this screenshot http://theforeman.org/wiki/foreman/Screenshots#Dashboard In order for those statistics to work what should be done? I have activated the rrdgraph reports in puppetd, uncommented the line ":rrd_report_url: report/" in config/settings.yaml

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

I''ve been using PuppetDB as an ENC for a while, but I haven''t really utilized it for stored configs or anything. I was mostly interested in replacing Dashboard''s reporting capabilities, but PuppetDB doesn''t yet do anything (that I can see) with reports. So I''m currently looking into setting up a separate Foreman server. I saw the script mentioned

I updated some of my gems, and I think it may be the reason I am getting the following error when the agents try to retrieve a catalog. err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: The single-table inheritance mechanism failed to locate the subclass: ''Host::Managed''. This error is raised because the column ''type'' is reserved for

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

Is there a way to force the puppetmaster to resign certificates for existing certificates when a new CSR for the same hostname arrives? When we reinstall freshly formatted clients with puppet (with the same hostname) the puppet client complains: err: Could not request certificate: Retrieved certificate does not match private key; please remove certificate from server and regenerate it

Hi, I was wondering what people out there are doing to monitor puppetd in large environments. I''d love to hear what the best practices are around this. We have a few hundred hosts and are currently looking at the timestamps on the yaml files in /var/lib/puppet/yaml/facts/ on puppetmasters to make sure all clients are alive. Is it true that for a given client the fact file on the

I have a 3 different puppetmasters running different groups of machines (dev, testing, and production). I''d like to very simply say "Give me a brief summary of the status of the nodes you manage." I''ve been having nightmare dependency problems trying to get things like Dashboard running that seem to be able to do this (Ruby, which may be an elegant language, is very

An error I managed to hit today, trying to migrate puppet dashboard from 1.2.2 to 1.2.4 (after upgrading the master to puppet 2.7.9 seemed to prevent the dashboard from importing new reports). I''m trying to re-run it now, but as you might guess, the DB is pretty huge and the process takes a while to execute. Executed from the puppet-dashboard directory: sudo rake db:migrate

Hi puppet users, We''ve got a puppet (0.24.8) implementation with two environments, called production and testing. We''ve also got a Puppet Dashboard (1.0) instance up and running, which is receiving and displaying reports from hosts in both of the environments. We would like to start using the dashboard as an external node classification tool, so I''ve taken the example

Hello Puppet Users ! We encounter a problem with the dashboard on this URI : /reports/changed The /reports works fine with ~130000 reports (up to 3 months and auto-cleaning with rake reports:prune job) I make a reports:prune:orphaned, juste in case, but without any success. The most recent change on the server was the puppetmaster upgrade from 3.0.2 to 3.1.0. Here is the dashboard error log

Hi I''m in the process of looking for a way to have developers deploying on their test systems without intervention of sysadmins, to solve this i''d like to use Puppet (either the OSS version or Enterprise, whichever solves the problem). I can manage to only grant access to certain systems and limit the ability to execute puppetd --test, however, the developers would like to

I''m trying to figure out if there is a common/working setup that people are using to host puppet in remote sites. At first our setup was that we have several puppetmasters (PM) in site A and a couple in our smaller site B. In site A we are also hosting Foreman and our mysql DB for storeconfigs. site A and B are connected via a WAN that is fairly slow. With this setup the issue I
