Hi all, I''m currently getting a lot of update failures showing up with no logs in the dashboard. This happens for about half of our 28 nodes, about once an hour. When re-run half an hour later, everything seems fine. Through a combination of server restarts and our Puppet master locking up entirely yesterday, almost all of our nodes are now trying to do their half hourly update at

I''ve been hitting this issue for a long time. well over a year and I guess it''s time to start pushing it to try to find the root cause. I''ve seen this reported several times in the past but I''ve never seen a resolution found for this exact problems. There are other root causes for pson errors that have been resolved, but not for the ones describing my

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

Almost 4-5% of the total number of nodes are not receiving catalog from the master on an hourly run. We have about 250 nodes. The nodes that are receiving this error are rather random. The hourly cron happens almost at the same time. Is there any configuration changes for Puppet that can be done to avoid this ? Puppet (err): Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: execution expired

Hi, On my puppet node, there are many facter variables that are empty in my manifests. But, there are not empty when I start "facter" on the node. why ? ex in a module: class resolver { if $::ipaddress6 { ... } $domainename = "$domain" } In this manifest, $domain and $ipaddress6 are empty In the facter command line, there not empty. -- You received this

Hi everyone, I have a problem with my Puppet server, the server is overloaded and processes need to add half of my farm nodes yet! The server is hosted on a blade with the following characteristics: Processors: 8 cores Memory Ram: 12 Gb Operating System: Debian Squeeze Version of parcel: 2.7.1-1 ~ bpo60 puppet 1 puppet-common 2.7.1-1 ~ bpo60 1 2.7.1-1 ~ bpo60 1 puppetmaster puppetmaster 2.7.1-1 ~

so here are my unorganized thoughts on Passenger settings. * PassengerMaxPoolSize This depends a lot on two primary variables. a) How much RAM you have. b) How much resident memory is needed for your environments/modules. Only way to determine this is with tweaking, and you''ll need to be much more conservative than the suggested settings on the Passenger docs as your app takes up a lot

I''ve been looking around for instructions on installing puppetmaster with a standalone passenger, without apache. I''m a personal believer in, "the fewer layers, the better" :) Unfortunately, I cant find any instructions for this configuration. Everything seems to be written for "puppet AND httpd and passenger". Could anyone point me to instructions sans

Hi, I''m currently trying to debug a performance issue I''m having. Therefore I would need "DEBUG" output. When using one puppetmaster process, this is fairly easy by starting it like this: > puppet master --no-daemonize --debug Now I need to see this debug output when running puppetmaster the way I ususally do - using Apache/Rack/Passenger. After looking

Hello, I randomly errors like this: Fri Jul 22 09:01:41 +0000 2011 //SERVER.fqdn/Puppet (err): Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: end of file reached Fri Jul 22 09:01:41 +0000 2011 //SERVER.fqdn/Puppet (notice): Using cached catalog Fri Jul 22 09:01:41 +0000 2011 //SERVER.fqdn/Puppet (err): Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run Here are the versions: puppetmaster

After an unexpected and unreasonably long hiatus, I''ve finally returned to implementing Puppet in my environment. My puppetmaster: Puppet 0.25.4, Facter 1.5.7, Ruby 1.8.7, and FreeBSD 8.0. I''ve got five clients using the puppetmaster so far. After about 24 hours, I''ve got three puppetmaster processes running. This number continues to grow over time. If stored configs

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.

The particular issue is with puppetmaster (which admittedly takes 4 minutes to actually start, setting TimeoutStartSec=300 in it's unit file stopped the false timeout report) but I have seen it one other time (don't remember the details). systemctl status puppetmaster ? puppetmaster.service - Puppet master Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/puppetmaster.service; enabled; vendor

I''m using 0.24 with Webrick (in the process of migrating to 0.25 / passenger). Occasionally, the puppetmasterd becomes unavailable, and we see error messages along the lines of: Could not call puppetmaster.getconfig: #<Errno::ECONNRESET: Connection reset by peer> I believe the puppetmasterd does not completely die, so it is still in the process list. I''m wondering what

Hi, My organization is going to set up puppet soon. We have thousands servers and desktops. Would WEBrick work well for this? Or should we use Passenger?

Hi! I''m testing Puppet 2.6 and got all the basic stuff working with the default webricks. I read that it doesn''t scale very well and is not suited for production environments and the recommended setup is Apache/ Passenger. Is there a step-by-step-guide on how to set it up? Any help is very appreciated. Regards, Freddie -- You received this message because you are subscribed

Hello, First of all I am new to the Puppet technology. I am trying to get my puppet agent (windows) to reach my puppet master (Linux) server. In this tutorial: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/agent_master_basic.html It claims to test your puppet agent you need to use the ''puppet agent --test'' command. My result when I tried this is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Puppet
