similar to: How can MCollective replace "puppet kick"?

Dear readers, When I have made a change to a template, class or file, is it then possible to push this change to the node(s), so they get the changes now? I would like to be able to push the change from the master, and not have to login to each node and pull. Is that possible?

Hi all, I''ve set up a Puppet environment with a master managing around 80 agents. I would like to set a limit on the number of agents that can be performing puppet runs at any given moment...so, for example, if there are already 3 puppet runs ongoing, the 4th agent should be put on hold until one of the 3 runs finishes. Is there a way to configure this? It would be perfect if it can be

http://saltstack.org/ http://puppetlabs.com/mcollective/ I found this link that talks about Func, Rundeck, Salt and mcollective, but it doesn''t really compare and contrast. http://www.coloandcloud.com/editorial/func-mcollective-salt-and-rundeck/(From a 10,000 overview Saltstack and mcollective look very similar. IE: both integrate with facter/puppet, have queuing mechanisms, allow remote

Hi All, I have a working installation of a Puppet Master (CA) with Puppet agents, this using The Foreman. I really see the usage of Puppet this way but because The Foreman supports pushing your classes/templates to you nodes (agents) and uses the depricated Run/Kick for it I''m looking into Mcollective. Mcollective is supported by The Foreman since 1.2, the version I''m

Someone told me yesterday that collective wasn''t free, New to me. Has something changed in the past month, or are they looking at the commercial version?

HI, i''m currently trying to develop a task-driven rails-based frontend for some tasks that puppet/mcollective is doing in the background ( basically some user-management and some asset queries...). But i''m currently stuck at finding some puppet/mcollective API classes for ruby. (you''ll only find results for using ruby within puppet, which is of course more obvious).

Hi! Is it possible to use Mcollective to run different cli commands remotely on nodes?

Hi, I deployed MCollective to our Puppet clients. approx. ~ 200. Our platform requires the most secure setup possible, so PSK as securityprovider is not an option. Therefor I changed the security provider to aes_security reusing puppets certificates in the server.cfg as found in the docs (1) Our goal is to use mcollective to offload event-driven actions to agents running on designated nodes from

If I want to run Puppet agent only on two nodes out of ten, how can I specify this with the Host Filters? I tried mco puppet runall 10 -I node1,node2 and different other variations, but this does not work.

I''ve been trying to find information, suggestions, etc. for how to combine scaling Puppet with the use of management tools like Dashboard/Foreman and MCollective. Our current thinking for an initial deployment is two VMs as Puppet Master worker nodes fronted by a pair of NetScalers. However, I''m not sure how to go about implementing Dashboard or Foreman and MCollective servers in

First off, I''m not sure if I should be asking questions about puppetlabs modules here, if not, I apologise... I''m trying to at least setup my mysql replication user through the mysql module, but I seem to be unable to divine the correct way to do this.

Hello Everyone, I''m still pretty new with puppet so please bare with me. I tried searching and I''m pretty sure I''ve ready my answer but I''m not sure if I''m going down the right path just yet.

Hi everyone, I run MCollective 1.2.1 together with ActiveMQ 5.5 under Scientific Linux 6.1 on Amazon EC2. Overall it works like a charm, but sometimes (eg. 1/30) discovery fails. Still the exit-code of mco will be 0, which is a problem for me as I use MCollective e.g. to trigger deployments from Jenkins. I would like to ask for some feedback on the following ideas, that could fix this problem.
