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

So I got dashboard up and running on our production system on Thursday before I left. Within 48 hours it had completed filled the /var filesystem. The ibdata1 file is currently at 8GB in size. 1. What size should I expect for ~500 nodes reporting every 30 minutes? 2. Are there some database cleanup scripts which I have managed to overlook that need to be run? -- Jo Rhett Net Consonance :

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

Hello All, Moving from 2.5 to 2.6.2 and I was wondering if there is a preferred directory structure for using multiple environments? Does it work much different in 2.6 than in 2.5? When I made the move I assumed (I know) that my current structure and configurations would just roll over but that isn''t the case. Thanks, Jim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

Hi, I have a running puppetmaster with nginx and passenger and ruby 1.9.2.

Hi guys, I have a strange situation. I''ve got 1 dashboard MySQL DB accessed from 3 different dashboard hosts. Strangely enough, 2 of them show the right node statuses, and the third one just shows all nodes as unresponsive. As far as I know, the status comes from the "nodes" table in the DB, so how can this happen? Is there some cache I need to clear? Is there another

I have created a class for the root user that uses the "User resource" to manages the root password. All seems to work well and as expected when I use puppetd -vt on a machine (or if I restart the service on the client) but during a regular polling event the password is not changed and when I go into the dashboard I can see that the event for running my class is run. Just to make sure

Welcome to the first Puppet Dashboard maintenance release of the new year. This release includes a security update to address CVE-2012-0891, a XSS vulnerability discovered by David Dasz <david@dasz.at>. We have classified the risk from this exposure as moderate.

Hi there, I am relatively new to Puppet (totally new) and had been cruising right along for a few days until about a week ago when our puppet agents went unresponsive. I''ve restarted both them and the servers several times to no avail. Can anyone point me down the path of how to diagnose this issue? We are currently evaluating Puppet to bring into our Enterprise for managing server

Hello, we run Puppet Dashboard 1.2.23 in our sandbox and get an error deleting a node. - first time we press the delete button nothing happens - second time we press the delete button we get the following error; ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid in NodesController#destroy Mysql::Error: Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction: DELETE FROM `node_group_memberships` WHERE `id` = 53

Hello, I have another quick one about puppet dashboard. We are using the Debian one for Squeeze (1.0.4) and as the database has significantly grown, if/when we click on a list of unresponsive nodes to check them, the web interface sits there doing nothing then the puppetmaster process starts timing out for all nodes compiling their catalogs. Has anyone got a workaround for this? Does it involve

I can delete a node in dashboard fine, but when I do a search with the Inventory Search the node shows up again and also then shows up under "Unreported". Any way to get rid of all references to the node? Thanks, -- Romeo -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Hi, First of all, this is my very first message to this list, so please bear with me while I''m getting used to it. Sorry for any non-standard way to ask a question here which I can be using without prior knowledgment. I would like to be able to set up some config parameters on a given node which is going to be config-managed by Puppet and, for various reasons, I would like to be able

Hi Experts, I remember we had this discussion before, but could find it. Can I run a command to generate a "Compiled catalog" for a specific node (on the master node)? And apply this on the client node? What are the limitations for doing this? Basically we have special handling for the webserver/CA part of puppet. Thank you very much! -Yushu

Is there a rake task for removing node parameters from the dashboard? The online dashboard manual is silent on the parameters related to rake tasks altogether. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

I have a couple of applications (backup, Cacti, Asset Tracking) where I want a node to have some package and config installed, and once that is done, some config to be done on another system to register the client with a central server. Is there a standard way to do this, short of having some kind of web service accessible from all the client systems? From my limited Puppet knowledge, anything I

Is it possible to have Hiera look at a key set for the node first, before looking at other items in the hierarchy? In particular - I''m using Puppet Dashboard and am setting keys & params for there, so I would like for any value set there for a node to be used over another item in the hiera hierachy. What value would I have to specify in the hierarchy for this, if it is possible?

This is O/T apart from the fact that the server is Centos running Apache / Postgresql. I want to develop a real time (ish) dashboard type web page showring extracts of the contents of a table. I would like any changes that occur to be pushed to the web clients rather than have the clients poll the database. Based on the fact that I have not managed to come up with a successful Google search
