similar to: puppetd not checking in

Hello all, I am trying to write a script that will check logs for puppet errors to use in a nagios check. I am checking /var/log/messages (RHEL6) but when puppet runs on its 30 minute interval, nothing gets written to messages. I have also looked at /var/log/puppet/puppet.log but that does not seem to be consistent either: [root@gm10v nagios]# tail /var/log/puppet/puppet.log Wed May 02 14:27:47

Hello, I''ve mcollective 1.2.1 with puppet 2.6.12 on rhel5.6, facter 1.6.2 setup from http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/mcollective-plugins/wiki/FactsFacterYAML. Now I''ve create a custom fact in /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/facter/ customer_status.rb. On the client; Running facter customer_status works. Running ''puppet agent --test'' works, customer_status

While running puppetd on a linux client I get the following, the actual spot that the segfault happens varies, but it always happens. This is on ubuntu with the stock apt ruby1.8.4 package. Puppet also installed from apt. Puppet version 0.18.4 It seems very likely that this isnt a bug in puppet per se, but it is tickling a yaml bug (regardless of where it fails, it is always yaml). But I

Hi guys, Unlike what it says in the documentation and the --help output, I can''t seem to get puppetd to use the --server setting. The only way I can get puppetd to work is to include a ''puppet'' alias to the ip of the machine I''m running puppetmasterd on in my hosts file. The strange thing though, is that the logs of my puppetmaster show that it *is* getting

This is the first time is happening... and It happens consecutively with all the hosts. Fresh kickstarted host (never set up before the name so its not on the revocation list), I just run puppetd -tv (we have autosign on), I just get the output below: [root@server182 puppet]# puppetd -tv info: Creating a new SSL key for server182.domain.com warning: peer certificate won''t be verified in

i''m having trouble with a file resource with 0.24.1. the manifest is very simple: file { "/": ensure => directory, owner => "root", group => "root", mode => 755 } when i run puppetd, i get the attached stack trace. removing this resource enables puppetd to complete its run successfully. any ideas? didn''t have this

Hi all, I''d like to comment my puppetd --debug output with some expert or other admin cause I see some thing that I don''t understand. 1.-) Defaults. I define my defaults in site.pp like: case $operatingsystem { ''RedHat'' , ''CentOS'' : { [...] Package { provider => yum,

I''m suddenly getting the below errors from Rack during puppetd -t (excerpted from the pink HTML output and cleaned for readability): Could not prepare for execution: Got 10 failure(s) while initializing: change from absent to directory failed: Could not set ''directory on ensure: Permission denied - /var/lib/puppet/yaml; change from absent to directory failed: Could not set

Hi, I exposed few days ago this situation on the IRC, but unfortunately I haven''t found a way to solve it yet. I run the Puppet Master with multiple environments, and everything is working good but a couple of nodes that are causing me some troubles. These nodes are pointing to my production environment and I need to point them back to development to grab some changes I made. I

Hi, I am using puppet (version 0.25.5-1.e15 for redhat) for password management for non-system users. This morning, users on some of my puppet clients had their encrypted password strings in /etc/shadow replaced with the following string: YAML::syck::BadAlias That has effectively broken the users'' ability to login to those servers. Puppet will not overwrite that string with the

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 configured my rsync daemon to be restarted when the rsyncd configuration file changes. When the rsync daemon gets restarted by puppet, it listens on the same port puppetd does, so running puppetd again results in an error. The init script for rsync is small and can not be changed from puppet (all variables are declared within the init script and it only searches for the path where the rsync

Guys, I seriously could not find this topic in the documentation. What do you do when you need to force puppetd hosts get the new settings from puppetmasterd? What I found was only sending USR1 signal to the client process in order to make it refresh its configuration from the master. But I find it a bit inconvenient for a large amount of hosts. There is also puppetrun which, if I understand

I am working on building a facter tag based node classifier similar to https://github.com/jordansissel/puppet-examples/tree/master/nodeless-puppet/. However, I have run into an issue where I cannot use puppet''s require file ability to push the yaml file containing the facts file to the client because it would require two runs of puppet to pickup changes. Consequently, I have written into

Hi folks, When running puppetd --environment whatever, the environment is not taken into account on the puppetmaster. This bug appeared after ticket #1130 got resolved and is certainly due to caching of the node terminus. Looking through the code didn''t help me understand how this yaml cache should get refreshed. On the puppetmaster, the cache files located in

Any ideas? Getting this error below from only 2 out of a total of 200 clients... puppetd[26557]: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Could not parse YAML data for node <servername here>: syntax error on line 89, col 7: `'' Client and Master Puppet versions are .25.1 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

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

Hi All, In my set-up, I''ve got a cron job that triggers a Puppet run every 20 minutes. I''ve found that on approximately 13 nodes (out of 166), puppetd just hangs. I have to go in, kill the process, remove /var/lib/puppet/state/puppetdlock, and run puppet again and then it''s fine. After a while, it just hangs again so I have to go in, kill the process, etc. Any ideas?

Hello All, So I finally got around to start to cut over node definitions from standard flat files to external nodes (foreman), and getting error message: "Error 400 on SERVER: Could not find node ''nodename''; cannot compile" - So basically it can''t pick up the node from the external node config. When I test the fetching of the yaml file it seems to work

Hi, I''m running multiple vservers and have some aspects managed via puppet. I noticed that puppetd consumes from 20 to 60 mb RAM and the longer the process runs, the more RAM it takes. It looks like 60MB is the top what I measured. Having a couple of vservers (11 in my case) this can already take up to 500MB just for puppet! I''m wondering if there''s any downside in
