similar to: migrating puppetmasters & the console database (puppet enterprise)

We have perhaps 40 to 50 systems, give or take, that are mostly under Puppet management (not all). After having spent some time doing my own thing with open-source, I''m looking into migrating to PE. One question I have is relative to initial deployment -- if I decide to keep PuppetDB on the same server as Master, can I later migrate that role off onto another host? I

Hi, I just wanted to check a few things. I have a build server which is used to run the CI server. It also doubles up as my puppetmaster. Would it be possible to have a puppet client talk to a puppetmaster on the same machine? Cheers, Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Hi, I''m trying to do ssl offload on amazon ELB for my puppetmaster servers, it seems amazon ELB is not sending ssl_client_header & client_verify_header puppetmaster Listen 8141 <VirtualHost *:8141> SSLEngine off DocumentRoot /etc/puppet/rack/puppetmaster_8141/public/ RackBaseURI / <Directory /etc/puppet/rack/puppetmaster_8141/> PassengerEnabled on

HI all, I am currently setting up a HA devops configuration using puppet. I want to be able to run a single puppet master as the CA and the rest act as peering puppet masters. I have each puppet master running on passenger and I am proxying the SSL requests to the CA server following: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/scaling_multiple_masters.html#option-2-redirect-certificate-traffic

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.

My install was working for a couple of months until I rebooted my puppet server. The clients do not report an error when I run puppet agent -t. I''ve attempted to remove certificates and renew. The clients get new certificates, but the console still does not update. Even the puppet server itself is not updating as a client. After reboot the only thing I have noticed that changed

Hello all, To experiment with Puppet Enterprise (we already use open source) and to create a case for our management to buy it, I''m trying to set up a Puppet Enterprise environment on some virtuals. While the puppet part works fine, and the client I''ve set up is doing fine as well, it seems the Live Management part is not. When I click on the Live Management tab it only

Could I use my local laptop as a puppet master, and only start up the puppetmaster when I have a change I want to send over to the nodes? Say I only have 1 server, and I don''t want or even need a puppetmaster running all the time. Is this or something close to this type of setup possible? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet

I''m having an issue with the default puppet.conf distributed with puppet 2.6.4 (FreeBSD port). I''ve reproduced the problem with a completely fresh install on a completely fresh OS in a VM. Under these conditions, running puppetmaster with no config is fine, but simply moving the puppet.conf-dist file to puppet.conf causes the following errors on console: Performing sanity

Hi Dears, I am installing the puppetmaster server and puppet client is running in the same machine. When i running : puppet agent --test --waitforcert 30 I received the error : Error: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Failed to generate additional resources using ''eval_generate'': SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed:

Hi! I''ve spent quite a while before I understood that for Puppet to see changes in custom functions'' code Puppetmaster needs to be restarted.

I was looking into the reporting features in puppet today and realized that though I want the reports I don''t want to bog my puppetmasters down with the task of generating the rrd and png files. Also I already have a server set up to do reporting on various other things that already has the space/CPU cycles and that''s where everyone already goes to look for information. Plus we

Hi, I was wondering what people out there are doing to monitor puppetd in large environments. I''d love to hear what the best practices are around this. We have a few hundred hosts and are currently looking at the timestamps on the yaml files in /var/lib/puppet/yaml/facts/ on puppetmasters to make sure all clients are alive. Is it true that for a given client the fact file on the

I had some questions come up today during the Puppet demo here: 1. Is there any way to apply different intervals to different classes? For example, we might want a security baseline manifest to run once a month, package installation files once/day, etc. Since we''re a brokerage, we also don''t want ANY system changes during trading hours. I guess we could cron killing the

For some reason I am unable to run "dry runs" of the puppet client on my puppetmaster server. Running puppetd with the --test, --noop and verbose / debug flags results in nothing for about a minute or two then this output... $ time puppetd --test --noop -v err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: execution expired warning: Not using cache on failed catalog err: Could not

No problem installing open puppet and using it. patterns run aok. when trying to use the installer for pe, on the puppetmaster, installs ok. when trying to use the installer for pe, on the puppet agent, installs ok but no cert sent as shown by puppet cert list on puppetmaster. also puppet agent --test on puppet agent shows err: could not retrieve catalog from remote server: error 400 on

Is is possible to have a puppetmaster that is a client of a different puppetmaster? We manage our customers'' server via puppet, but one customer has a puppetmaster server which looks after their internal systems. We''ve tried the following in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf ("customer" and "us" replacing the domain names) on their puppetmaster: [puppetmasterd]

Hi, we are currently managing our puppet modules with one SVN workspace for each admin. The post commit hook script updates /etc/puppet/ directory and triggers the puppet kick of the correct server. The problem we have with this solution is that sometimes there are many small checkins to one change, because the admin forgot to change small details in the config file, e.g. forgot to change
