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 am trying to run /usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl -d, but i was end with exec timeout. I cannot find any think on google. Have anyone experience with this? It works, when I run it normally from shell. this is my exec resource. { "vmwaretools_config": subscribe => [ Package["VMwareTools"] ], refreshonly => true, path =>

Hi everyone, I have a problem with puppet-dashboard because I appear unresponsive when many nodes are running correctly. In my current configuration nodes do not run the daemon, but I have created a cron task that runs once the command puppetd at hourly intervals. The point is that when I look into dashboard many nodes are always considered unresponsive because it seems that the default dashboard

Hi list, In our platform we have a lot of machines in which the system is a single disk image loaded on RAM from PXE. The problem is quite simple : if I install puppetd on the image, I will end up using the same certificate for 100 different servers with different names (the hostname is setup at boot time from dhcp) and I guess the puppetmaster won''t allow that. In other words : what

Hello all, I am developing a few custom providers for some features that I need into my system (such as dealing with different zipped files or generating some JSON data based on OS files) and I have hit into a question about "how to do this for multiple OS?" Lets focus into the zipped file provider that should provide a common method to pack or unpack zipped files (tar, tar.gz,

Puppet Labs is really thrilled to announce, in conjunction with EMC, our new open source bare metal provisioning tool: Razor. Razor is next generation provisioning software that handles bare metal hardware and virtual server provisioning with inventory discovery and tagging, rule-based policy management, and extensible broker plugin integration. It integrates closely with Puppet and Facter. The

I have an array: $nodes = [''gfs01'' ,''gfs02'', ''gfs03'', ''gfs04] and a string variable: $brick_store = "/var/bricks" How can I append "/var/bricks" to each item in the array? Lack of a looping construct makes this challenging in puppet. Such that: brick_array = [''gfs01:/var/bricks'',

I'm trying to install libguestfs on Debian squeeze installed from http://people.debian.org/~bengen/libguestfs/ It does not work. Here are the details: I was able to install libguestfs-tools and its dependencies. However, aptitude removed the following two packages: qemu and qemu-system. I'm not sure if it's okay or not. If I try to install those packages back, I get the

Hi, Backports of the libguestfs, febootstrap, and hivex packages that have been shipped with Debian 7 (wheezy) for Debian 6 (squeeze) are now available via backports.debian.org. The versions are: libguestfs 1:1.18.1-1+deb7u2~bpo60+1 febootstrap 3.17-1~bpo60+1 hivex 1.3.6-2~bpo60+1 I have also removed the archive of older backports that was previously available at

Hello all, I am running puppet 2.7.1 with mongrel and an apache proxy. I have been seeing an issue where it appears that the puppetmaster is completely ignoring any facts that are sent to it. When a client connects, any configuration that relies on facts shows those variables as being empty strings. (I have been testing this with a simple notify resource that prints out the IP address and the

So, some of us would like to be able to set the nice value on puppetd. However, we don''t want all of our services (and some of our execs) re-niced. Would it be feasible/practical to have the ability to set the nice value explicitly on Service and Exec calls?

I''m having a problem with: http://pastebin.com/CuGHqwhy It occurs on the reboot, but sometimes, when I try to start manually one of my machines. Sometime, one of the machines does not want to start permanently and I have to reinstall/restore it. This problem comes for me randomly, but maybe there is a trigger. I''ve tried to follow:

Hello, I''m currently setting up some scripts that will pull in new data for Puppet master (modules, manifests, hiera data, etc.) from a Git repository. It works great! However, I''m concerned about atomicity of the whole thing. Does the Puppet master cache the modules/manifests when it starts? If so, do I need to restart the Puppet master on each update? Or can I send it a

All, Does anyone know of a way to add a file-centric backtrace to the validate functions in the Stdlib? If you use a validator in a defined type, you end up not having any idea what actually threw the error. Though much has moved to parameterized classes, there are still times when defines are useful and it would be nice to know what calling class/define/stack was blowing up. Thanks, Trevor
