Hi guys, I have a box that needs to identify itself to the puppetmaster as something different from the FQDN. I added certname to the agent configuration before the first run, but it doesn''t seem to be sufficient. The certificate was generated for the FQDN, and the host appears in the dashboard as the FQDN, and the node name used to evaluate the manifest is also the FQDN. I would

hi, i''m trying to set up my puppetmaster infrastructure with multiple puppetservers behind load balancers in each of our datacenters. i''m using 0.24.6. i''ve read the howto on puppet scalability, and i think i''ve got the ssl config working correct, but i''m noticing that when puppetd is used to build a puppetmaster, some of the files in $vardir/ ssl

Hello Gang, I''m working on scaling my puppet solution, and I''m deploying multiple masters w/ passenger that are going sit behind a load balancer. If anyone is using these type of setup, would you share how you deal with the SSL certs? I''ve been following Bode''s Blog (http://bodepd.com/wordpress/?p=7), and it''s not working to good for me.

Hi, I have looked all over the place and can''t seem to find a complete answer to my query I am setting up MCollective to run alongside my puppet deployment and am having some problems getting it to play as I want it to Basically, I need to make sure that puppet NEVER makes any changes without them being triggered by someone (I honestly can''t see how anyone would ever want

on my puppet master server (v 2.7.17 , both server and client version) , the puppet agent can''t connect to itself. other clients connected to this puppet server are working fine. the hostname is puppet.domain.com [root@puppet /]# cat /etc/puppet/puppet.conf [main] # The Puppet log directory. # The default value is ''$vardir/log''. logdir = /var/log/puppet

I''m not sure at all what''s going on here, but I''ve spent a lot of time reading over the puppet hiera docs and setting everything up, but when I run puppet agent it just seems to ignore the hiera setup completely. Both the puppet master and agent nodes have exactly the same versions of puppet and hiera (installed via the official puppet APT repository). I''ve

Hi!

Hi everyone, I’ve been working on getting puppet set up for our systems for the past week, and all has gone well in learning about writing manifests, but now that I’m ready to set it into production, I realize that it’s still unclear to me exactly how that’s supposed to go. For instance, during testing it has always been that I manually started and stopped puppetd and puppetmasterd on their

Hi, I am running puppet version 0.25.1 on both the server and client and am getting the following error on a puppet run: err: Could not apply complete catalog: Could not retrieve dependency ''Class[http]'' of Class[puppet::http] Class http is defined in the "http" module like so: class http { package { httpd: ensure => installed } file {

I also made the changes below in the puppet.conf file to tell puppet where to look for the the modules and manifests. I then restart the puppet master then ran puppet command to apply changes to a puppet client it did not find anything to change just got these three lines "info: Caching catalog for pdlnx-adpt03.kareoprod.ent, info: Applying configuration version

Hello All, I''m using the "Branch Testing" approach documented at https://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/BranchTesting and am seeing an issue with certificates. On all clients, I can run puppetd --masterport=8141 successfully but see the following error when I run against the default (8140) port: err: Could not retrieve configuration: Certificates were not trusted:

Hi, When I run puppet agent --test --environment 42A, I have the following warning : Warning: Local environment: "42A" doesn''t match server specified node environment "production", switching agent to "production". ... The puppet manifest for the environment "42A" isn''t applied. The puppet version is 3.3.1-1puppetlabs1 on agent and

I am finding that the puppetlabs-apache module is somehow adding 30-60 seconds onto a host''s catalog compile time when the puppetmaster has no other hosts contacting or generating catalogs. The Puppetmaster is setup to use Puppet-2.7.18 - Apache & Passenger. RIght now only 2 hosts are even configured to use this new PM, the PM itself and a Foreman host. With neither hosts

# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 6.4 (Final) # puppet --version 3.2.3 # rpm -q puppetdb puppetdb-1.3.2-1.el6.noarch I am now receiving "Not collecting exported resources without storeconfigs" for my opsview module. It was working fine on puppet 2.7 with Activerecord/MySQL. I am still new to puppetdb so maybe I am missing something. This is from puppet.conf: storeconfigs

Greetings, we are trying to setup puppetdb, nut our clients get the following error: Warning: Unable to fetch my node definition, but the agent run will continue: Warning: Error 400 on SERVER: Could not retrieve facts for lxa7t.unix.lan: Failed to submit ''replace facts'' command for lxa7t.unix.lan to PuppetDB at puppetdb:8081: Connection refused - connect(2) Info: Retrieving

So I''m trying to get multiple environments to work with puppet 0.25.1 on ubuntu 8.04 and no matter what I do, puppet just completely ignores any environment setting. There''s really next to no information in terms of configuration on the multiple environments documentation page (http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/UsingMultipleEnvironments) other than saying that the

Hello, I have followed the documentation at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/dashboard/manual/1.2/bootstrapping.html to try to setup dashboard but after I manually add a node it shows up as unreported. The agent has successfully completed a very basic catalog run just adding a file to the file-system. Dashboard v1.2 Puppet puppet-server.noarch 2.7.19-1.el6 SERVER: -bash-4.1$ cat

Hello, I''m writing my first puppet function rspec test and am having a problem which I don''t see how to solve. The function (and the test) involve access to files through the File Server. In order for the function (and the test) to work I need to pass "--fileserverconf=fileserver.conf" parameter to Puppet. So far I haven''t found a way to do that. If I

Hi, I''m pretty sure I once did some experiments with running puppet wihtout a puppertmasterd - but having a "normal" puppet manifests and modules structure in /etc/puppet. Sadly, I can''t find how to do that anymore. I know I can write plain puppet instructions in a file.pp and run them plainly - but I want the whole config as if it would reside on a server) When I

Hi all I''m trying to set up a separate puppet master and client on EC2. I''ve used two instances of CentOS5.4 with nothing other than the base install and have installed puppet via the ruby gems. Puppet is at 2.6.4 on both machines. I''ve been following the guide to get a basic configuration working (http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/configuring.html) with a little tweak
