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

I have set up puppet on Ubuntu/Debian servers with no problem. I am trying to get puppet working in a RHEL environment. I have the client installed and the certificate is signed so I know the two are talking but for some reason I can not get puppet to push the file on to the client. What am I missing? OS - RHEL5.7 Installation Source - epel-testing repo Puppet server version - 2.6.6 puppetd

We were using Naginator resources like nagios_host, etc. along with stored configurations and exported resources. Worked pretty well. However we have to separate the Puppet master and the Icinga (Nagios) server. They will be on different machines from now on. Are there any best practices for such a scenario? I already thought about some kind of ''rsync'' of the configuration from

We want to use Nagios to monitor out puppet server so we can be notified if it goes down. We are using Fusion Passenger and Apache on Red Hat. Any suggestion for what and how to monitor? -- Thanks, Allan Marcus 505-667-5666 Allan@lanl.gov -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Hello everyone, I am new to puppet. I have installed on redhat Enterprise 5and seems to be working fine. Couple days ago I was testing some permissions on / etc folder and applied 600 /etc and sub folders. Although I have reverted the permission but I am having issues on puppetmaster. Currently I have these permission on etc 755 and puppet folder: my /etc folder is 755 and puppet folder with tese

Hi, I''m new to Puppet so may be going about this completely the wrong way, or perhaps it is an selinux problem rather than a Puppet problem. I have a problem copying a file and changing the seltype. I don''t think it is Nagios specific. Code is something like: file { ''/usr/sbin/nrpe'': source =>

Couple of questions. Firstly, what''s the plugin error about? puppet agent --onetime --test --verbose info: Retrieving plugin err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Could not evaluate: Could not retrieve information from source(s) puppet://puppet/plugins info: Caching catalog for mon01.ap1.xxx.com info: Applying configuration version ''1346878830'' err:

I can''t get a new client working with my puppet master. When I try to run ''puppet agent --test'' on the client, I get err: Could not request certificate: Connection refused - connect(2) Exiting; failed to retrieve certificate and waitforcert is disabled I can''t telnet from the client to the server on port 8140. There are no firewalls between the 2 servers.

Few of my puppet clients (puppet 0.24.8, ruby 1.8.5, facter 1.5.2) are dying with out any error messages on on syslog. I cannot see much system resource usage on these nodes. What is the best way to troubleshoot the root cause of the problem? -Basil -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Has anyone successfully puppetized BigIP (F5)? I''m specifically trying to figure out a path in making our BigIP instances be under puppet so all the VIPs, pools, profiles, etc. are all under puppet control. My requirements are probably going to be fulfilled even with just uploading a rules file if a delta''s detected. The main issue I have now is figuring out when to reload the

Hi all I have been pondering this for a while, but not yet seen a clean way to do it I have a few puppet classes (apache/ntp/mysql/bacula/nagios/etc) I would like to generate part of my bacula and nagios configs for each host based on which other classes that host belongs to (or to put it another way, I would like to export variables from classes which would be used by my bacula and nagios

Hi ! I need a plot for data extending over several orders of magnitude on the y axis. The following command generates a nice looking semi-log plot for my data: plot(x,y,log="y",type="l",lty=3, ylim=c(0.01,2),yaxp=c(0.01,1,1),las=1) I would appreciate having also minor tick marks in-between the 3 major ticks obtained with the above command. The "minor.tick" function

This module does basically what I have done in the very beginning. Create an empty directory as a preparation step for the configuration files. But this configuration also did not regenerate the files. Seems, I will stick with my workaround and delete the files manually and the restart the Puppet agent. If anyone is interested in details, see: http://wp.me/p1RukY-1n. Thanks for helping, Gabriel!

Hi, whenever i am starting puppet master after new installation it gives below messages .. /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/util/pidlock.rb:33:in `initialize'': Permission denied - /var/lib/puppet/run/master.pid (Errno::EACCES) from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/util/pidlock.rb:33:in `open'' from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/util/pidlock.rb:33:in

Hello fellow community members! I just joined you in order to find an information about how to start using Puppet... Currently we use cfengine for our legacy system containing several OS platforms, including physical and virtual servers. For fresh new hardware and OS versions we decided to go with Puppet due to it''s growing popularity (wow, 4082 members of this group only!).

Hi, i have some virtual machines running on logical volumes formatted with OCFS2. I'd like to snapshot the running guests to backup them easily afterwards. The files of the guests are big (100 - 300GB), but the content changes only slowly. So i thought that rsync would be a great benefit because it justs transfers the difference between the current file and the one backuped one day before. I

Hi, does anybody have a list of working Linux Live CDs with Xen Support which I can use in a Xen Domain? What I''m looking for is more or less something like Knoppix with Xen Support so that I can use the yet-not-supported hardware of my Ferrari 4005 in the Linux Domain regards Bernd This message posted from opensolaris.org

Hi, for what it''s worth: There''s now a new Live CD for Solaris called Damm Small Solaris: http://www.sunhelp.ru/archives/179-Damn_Small_Solaris_0.1.1_English_Page.html In contrast to Belenix this Live CD works in Qemu - even without kqemu load the performance is not so bad. One important missing are the network driver for the network adapter emulated by Qemu. But they
