Hi all, I''m working on setting up Puppet to write out my Nagios configs. A few weeks back I inserted a few dummy Nagios checks into my Puppet config, and the Nagios configs were written out properly. I''ve now added loads of Nagios host and service checks like this: @@nagios_service { "check_smtp_${hostname}": check_command =>

Hi all, For months now I''ve been using Puppet with PuppetDB backend to manage my Nagios configs. We now have 1200+ services being checked and including servicedependency, host, hostdependency, command and other Nagios resources being managed, that''s about 3000 resources in total. Unfortunately this means the monitoring server takes about 8 minutes to perform a Puppet run.

Over the years many shops have come to start running puppet via cron to address memory leaks in earlier versions of Ruby, but the official position was that puppet was meant to be run as a continually running service. I am wondering if the official position has changed. On one hand many if not all of the early Ruby issues have been fixed, on the other, the addition of mcollective into the mix as

I have very strange problem. I set up puppet client on serveral servers but have problem with one of them. When I invoke: root@www ~ # puppet agent --server puppetmaster.domain.ltd --test notice: Ignoring --listen on onetime run info: Caching catalog for puppetclient.domain.ltd info: Applying configuration version ''1326444431'' notice: Finished catalog run in

Hi everyone, I''m new to tc but I need to use it to set up shaping on a new NAT box. In short: Each user must have their upload limited to 128kbit and downlink limited to 256kbit. Global bandwidth to be limited to 100Mbit Interactive packets to have higher priority 200+ users, so need to match packets fast So far I have managed to get the download limits working. However I need to

I see the instructions for creating custom facter recipes here: http://projects.reductivelabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Adding_Facts and in this thread, James Turnbull suggests that Facter might some day support other languages besides ruby: http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/browse_thread/thread/8c127ae8898d3bcf/c5ca551b77c4eb67?lnk=gst&q=facter+perl#c5ca551b77c4eb67 He writes:

I''m running in circles with this issue... I accidentally did a ''puppetca --clean --all'' and lost all certificates. I was able to get the puppetmaster running and re-created certificates for the client system, but I get the following error: warning: peer certificate won''t be verified in this SSL session info: Caching certificate for w0f.lagged.com info:

I want to stop shaping from running on my box, without rebooting it. What''s the best way to get rid of any tc rules? I have tried "tc qdisc del dev eth0 root" which appeared to be successful but traffic through my box is still very slow.

Hi all, I''m having some problems working with puppet-selinux[1] I''ve successfully deployed the module in nodes.pp and got it to set various SELinux modes, by using class { selinux: mode => ''permissive'' } or class { selinux: mode => ''enforcing'' } Now I want to load a custom SELinux policy file. According to the docs, the correct

Nagios support "custom object variables" (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nagioscore/3/en/customobjectvars.html) buy prefixing them with an underscore: define host{ host_name linuxserver _mac_address 00:06:5B:A6:AD:AA _rack_number R32 } However, I can''t determine how to use these with puppet nagios resources. I''m assuming they aren''t supported, but

I''m re-posting this because I''m not sure that it got through the first time. If someone could at least echo back that this is reaching the list, I''d appreciate it. (I''m new to the list.) Sometimes (with variable frequency) storeconfigs stores the wrong data in the fact_values table. This has the end result that exported resources, when collected, have

Hi. I have the following facts available: # facter | grep oper operatingsystem => CentOS operatingsystemrelease => 6.2 Now, if I wish to use conditionals on these facts, I have to do it like this: case $operatingsystem {} case $::operatingsystemrelease {} I''m puzzled as to why can''t I just use $operatingsystemrelease, and what do these two semicolons mean? Thank

I am trying to wrap my head around using templates and was wondering what the execution context was, puppetmaster or client? I thought it was client since it would have to also account for facter-based variables, but recent testing on something I thought was pretty neat turned out to cause puppetmaster to segfault in an apparent attempt to evaluate the template on the server side. The

Hello Is it able to obtain performance metrics from puppet master ( or puppet dashboard ) ? I intend to use this metrics in external monitoring system. Of particular interest are the following metrics: * list of agents * time since the certain agent last apply manifest ( to find stuck agents ) * time used to compile manifest by puppet master for the certain agent * time used by the certain

Dear all, I''m having real problems getting tc to do anything useful at all. I''m also under pressure to get this fixed before the students start arriving later this month (I work in a university). In short, I want each IP address to be hard limited to 128kbit down, 64kbit up, never to be allowed more bandwidth than this. It is also important that the latency remains

Hello CentOS users, I have problems posting the question below to the Nagios mailing list (my subscription is not accepted for some reason).
