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

Hi All, I currently make use of Icinga (nagios fork) + Puppet for fully automated monitoring. It''s worked great up to this point. I''ve recently been asked to integrate fine grained notifications support into icinga. I''m not entirely sure puppet manifests are the right place to manage contacts, contact groups, and their use within host and service definitions for

Hi! I have problem with the pop3 service stops responding at random intervals on my server. We started to notice this problem as we're running icinga to check the imap & pop3 service. When icinga reports that the service is down. We try to telnet to the server on port 110 but it refuses the connection. I've checked the netstat during this time and it's listens on port 110. My

Hi Aravinda, Very nice initiative, thank you very much! As as small recommendation it would be nice to have a "nagios/icinga" mode, maybe through a "-n" parameter which will do the health check and output the status ina nagios/icinga compatible format. As such this tool could be directly used by nagios for monitoring. Best, M. > -------- Original Message -------- >

I have to rebuild a new Nagios box and thought this might be a good time to migrate away. I use snmp mostly for everything but with the fork Nagios endured I wonder about putting any more effort into the project. I probably should look at OpenNMS again, but the other options I think might work are Icinga (Should be trivial to migrate) or Zenoss or maybe even Zabbix? Anyone have experience in

Hi all, just installed the puppetlabs-mysql module for puppet on my Puppet server which is an Amazon Linux (based on RedHat), but I get this error when I run puppet agent --test : *err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Unsupported osfamily: Linux operatingsystem: Amazon, module mysql only support osfamily RedHat and Debian at

Hello, I''m running Puppet agent stand-alone on Windows. I got data-in-modules working. However, no matter what I put into the module hiera.yaml, I can only override the defaults from common.yaml by osfamily (and not, e.g., by environment). In the setup below the following command outputs: >puppet apply --binder -e "notice lookup (''my_key'')"

I''ve run into an odd one on one of my new RHEL 6 boxes. Puppet and Facter seem to disagree about the value of a fact. Puppet version: 2.7.9 Facter version: 1.6.4 Module: puppetlabs-apache apache::params falls through its if structure: if $::osfamily == ''redhat'' or $::operatingsystem == ''amazon'' { ... } elsif $::osfamily ==

hello, Till now hiera-puppet was the only way I know that allowed hiera data to be loaded from inside a module. The problem with this was that it was still subject to the site specific hierarchy which means a module author had a pretty hard time to store his data in a proper way in his module thus perpetuating the use of the params classes pattern. Now that Puppet 3 is out and it''s gem

Hi I am new in Puppet and i have one error when i test Postgresql module in infrastructure mode. I''m using Puppet 3.1.0 in Debian squeeze or 6.0.7 i tape the next command puppetd -t -v and this is the error info: Retrieving plugin info: Loading facts in pe_version info: Loading facts in postgres_default_version info: Loading facts in iptables info: Loading facts in puppet_vardir

Hello lovelies, Our team is deliberating a few different options for the hierification of our modules; and wanted to poll the collective genius before making our decision. As we all know, there are certain attributes of a package which are, by default, consistent on an OS... say, the name of a package..... class foobar { include foobar::params $package = $foobar::params::package Package

Hi. Perhaps you can help me with this: What I do is using Nagios (actually Icinga) and having checks on remote hosts executed via ssh. In order to dramatically speed checks up (from about 0,300 ms to 0,010 ms) I use ControlMaster = auto, which also makes the mux process spawned on the first check. As checks are typically sequentially scheduled I want the mux process to persist but it should

I''ve written and deployed a simple Linux SSH module. But I need to modify to include support for FreeBSD and AIX. On top of that, I need to include some conditionals in there that (for example) if (/etc/file1 contains string abc) ; then install sshd-config-x & ssh-config-x elsif (/etc/file1 contains string xyz); then install sshd_config-y & ssh_config-y else install

Hi, I have a custom rpm for our application. The problem is that it grew old and fat. It's about 30 MB. So i would like to split it into two parts. One big part that almost never changes and one smaller part that is changed more frequently. But i don't know how to write the spec file so a simple yum update will install both packages and it won't create any problems. Any suggestions?

As some before me on the group, I have a problem getting the Chocolatey provider to work on Windows. I downloaded it from Github and placed it in /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/chocolatey. (I am running Puppet Enterprise 2.7.19). On a Windows 8 client, I have a very simple manifest: class install_notepadplusplus { if $::osfamily == ''windows { $pkg =

Hi, I am trying to use Hiera in puppet 3 and I have two nodes that both need the same configuration. In this case they are two web servers which have the same apache configuration. Rather than creating two seperate hiera files for node1.yaml and node2.yaml is there a way to group these by role (e.g. webserver.yaml)? I want to avoid duplicating the configuration if possible and keep the data

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

https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2000 --- Comment #10 from Christoph Anton Mitterer <calestyo at scientia.net> --- Hmm AFAIU, when not using ControlPersist, that would simply mean that if the last session is closed, the mux closes either, right? This is however undesirable as well for the above use-case: First, considers hosts where only one check runs (i.e. executed via
