similar to: Puppet client won't autostart

I think I really hosed my certificates somehow this morning trying to get PuppetDB and Puppet talking again -- here''s where I stand. My Puppet master and PuppetDB are again talking, or at least, aren''t complaining about communication. From my puppet master, I can run "puppet agent -t", and it runs just fine. From any other node on which puppet had been running, I

Is there an easy way to convert a puppet client into being a puppet master? Here''s the scenario. I''m using puppet to configure all my systems, and would like it to be able to deploy a new puppet master as well. We have systems worldwide so having local puppet masters is very desirable for fault tolerance. So Kickstart (via cobbler) installs a puppet client during the initial

I''ve got a situation where a manifest fails when writing one particular key for a user. What I have is a manifest that looks like this: class my::accounts () { Ssh_authorized_key { ensure => present, type => ssh-dss, } Then, after making sure the user, group, and authorized_keys2 file exist: ssh_authorized_key { "key-name-1": key

I''m looking to implement a hiera backend for our Puppet installation, as we routinely deploy systems that are of varying hardware, OS, and which may have multiple roles they fill. I''ve figured out, I think, how to handle the OS question through facter, but implementing server roles isn''t quite so clear. I want to maintain that information on the server, not on the

Hello, I''m trying to do this: service { monit: ensure => running, enable => true, hasrestart => true, if ($operatingsystem == ''centos'') { hasstatus => true, }, require => Package[''monit''], subscribe => File[''monit.conf''], } And it doesn''t work in

Hi, I am fairly new to using puppet, but have it setup on 25 machines. Just doing some basic configuration management. Recently I decided to try working with updating some services config files and used the ensure => running tags. My question is simple - if the source file does NOT change and I use a subscribe, why does the system keep restarting the daemon every time puppet runs? A simple

Dear community, I use puppet to deploy iptables on every server. This is working fine. In the manifest I defined an iptables service which leads to my init script. The thing is each time I run puppet I got : notice: /Stage[main]/Iptables/Service[netfilter]/ensure: ensure changed ''stopped'' to ''running'' I would like to add a status command to my startup script

I''m trying to figure out how "ensure => running" determines whether a service is running or not (CentOS using init controlled services). I have a custom service that has enable => running set on it: service { "foo": ensure => running, enable => true } Every time puppet runs I see this: notice: //Service[foo]/ensure: ensure changed

Hi, I have this in my sshdconfig module''s init.pp but the service is not getting restarted even though at first connect the file sshd_config is getting modified with the Banner entry. Can someone please help? class sshdconfig { file { "/etc/ssh/sshd_config": path => "/etc/ssh/sshd_config", owner => root,

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I was made aware of puppet a few weeks ago and I really like the way things are working. What I liked at cfengine was the capability to push content from the central server to any node. There was no need to open a port from DMZ or any other remote system to the central server. Is there a similar way within puppet? How is this solved by other

I''ve been messing around with Puppet on a VM on my personal desktop. It looks descent. I was wondering what kind of load this thing would have managing about 400 nodes. Does this thing require a beefy server? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Hello, Is it possible to configure an ENC to provide class definition to a number of nodes at the same time where a few other nodes are controlled in the site.pp by node ''FQDN'' {blah} for the same puppetmaster ? I am wondering once parameters are set for the master to look for an ENC based definitions, will it conflict with the site.pp node definitions ? For example these

I''m having a difficult time with a dependency issue. Basically, I want to be able to call a defined type, but it''s not working out so far. I have my manifests setup like this: init.pp: class foo { .... } bar.pp: class foo::bar { include foo package{ "test": ensure => running, notify =>

Hey everyone, I seem to be running into an error that I can''t find an answer for. I have a simple manifest that installs a few packages and then starts a few services. But it chokes while installing Nginx with this error: err: /Stage[main]//Package[nginx]/ensure: change from purged to present > failed: Could not set ''present on ensure: invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII

I hope I haven''t dug myself into a corner here... How can I make sure that /some/file.xml is created BEFORE the jboss-tfel0 service is started? I can''t use before => in the file{} in the jboss class because it doesn''t exist there. define create_jboss_inst($inst, $version, $naming_port) { .... service { "jboss-$inst": require

Hi There, I am kind of lost, understood something wrong. I have written a module. Now how can I test this module? Do I need to copy it to agent or server? Is it possible to test it as a standalone module where I have a machine with puppet agent or server installed? It is a simple module I dont want complicate things with cucumber or some rspec etc. How can I test it with puppet apply

Ok, what am I doing wrong here? I''m including splunkforwarder::app_server and it''s all working except that it appears that splunkforwarder::common isn''t including splunkforwarder::enabled... class splunkforwarder::enabled { service { ''splunkforwarder'': ensure => running, enable => true,
