similar to: Catalog compile times > 40s - Puppet 2.7.18

I''m looking for a way to run more than one puppetmaster on the same server under passenger. Most of the puppet CPU load is waiting for the catalogs to compile. This also seems to be mostly what takes large amounts of RAM. I have storedconfigs on. I want to be able to move the fileserver to a different pool of puppetmaster processes. Is there an easy way to tell the client, either in

Hi all, hoping someone may have encountered a problem similar to this before: On my customer''s EC2 based infrastructure, we have implemented the nodeless, truth driven module outlined by Jordan Sissel here http://www.semicomplete.com/blog/geekery/puppet-nodeless-configuration. It''s quite an effective model, especially in the realm of EC2... we still have a puppetmaster

Hi, On my puppet node, there are many facter variables that are empty in my manifests. But, there are not empty when I start "facter" on the node. why ? ex in a module: class resolver { if $::ipaddress6 { ... } $domainename = "$domain" } In this manifest, $domain and $ipaddress6 are empty In the facter command line, there not empty. -- You received this

Hello, I randomly errors like this: Fri Jul 22 09:01:41 +0000 2011 //SERVER.fqdn/Puppet (err): Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: end of file reached Fri Jul 22 09:01:41 +0000 2011 //SERVER.fqdn/Puppet (notice): Using cached catalog Fri Jul 22 09:01:41 +0000 2011 //SERVER.fqdn/Puppet (err): Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run Here are the versions: puppetmaster

Hi, I''m currently trying to debug a performance issue I''m having. Therefore I would need "DEBUG" output. When using one puppetmaster process, this is fairly easy by starting it like this: > puppet master --no-daemonize --debug Now I need to see this debug output when running puppetmaster the way I ususally do - using Apache/Rack/Passenger. After looking

Hello, First of all I am new to the Puppet technology. I am trying to get my puppet agent (windows) to reach my puppet master (Linux) server. In this tutorial: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/agent_master_basic.html It claims to test your puppet agent you need to use the ''puppet agent --test'' command. My result when I tried this is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Puppet

Greetings, I have a tested, working setup of Puppet and Webrick. I can add nodes, classes, etc. Then I switched to Puppet/Passenger and get the error below. Puppet, Apache and Passenger are all up. I have installed using *YUM *repos and *GEMs*. So, I have the most updated packages they have. Puppet version: 2.7.19 Ruby version: 1.8.7 (2011-06-30 patchlevel 352 i386) Apache: 2.2.15 The error

After an unexpected and unreasonably long hiatus, I''ve finally returned to implementing Puppet in my environment. My puppetmaster: Puppet 0.25.4, Facter 1.5.7, Ruby 1.8.7, and FreeBSD 8.0. I''ve got five clients using the puppetmaster so far. After about 24 hours, I''ve got three puppetmaster processes running. This number continues to grow over time. If stored configs

Hi, I am new to Puppet. I need to monitor a file for changes on a server and if it does, copy it immediately to the clients. But it has permissions 640, and must retain these. Can anyone suggest a manifest for this? Thanks a lot. M -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group. To view this discussion on the web visit

The particular issue is with puppetmaster (which admittedly takes 4 minutes to actually start, setting TimeoutStartSec=300 in it's unit file stopped the false timeout report) but I have seen it one other time (don't remember the details). systemctl status puppetmaster ? puppetmaster.service - Puppet master Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/puppetmaster.service; enabled; vendor

Hi, I''m currently trying to get my puppetmaster work in passenger, but have not succeeded so far. Passenger itself seems to work (a small "hello world" app runs fine), but when I point a puppet client (0.24.8) to it, I get: info: Retrieving plugins err: Could not call fileserver.list: #<RuntimeError: HTTP-Error: 500 Internal Server Error> err:

Hi everyone, I have a problem with my Puppet server, the server is overloaded and processes need to add half of my farm nodes yet!

Hi, I am new to the job and forum. I installed puppet and puppetmaster and set up my first dependencies acording to a manual that we have here in our company. Everything works fine and I can set up new nodes with several modules to choose from. Unfortunatley the Dashboard <http://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/dashboard>gives me errors instead of starting correctley. Here the

I''ve been hitting this issue for a long time. well over a year and I guess it''s time to start pushing it to try to find the root cause. I''ve seen this reported several times in the past but I''ve never seen a resolution found for this exact problems. There are other root causes for pson errors that have been resolved, but not for the ones describing my

Morning all Am in the process of testing a migration of Puppet 3 from webrick to Puppet. Have found the foreman modules (https://github.com/theforeman) which seems to take care of a lot of the leg-work... However having got Puppet running with Passenger in Apache, whenever trying to access the Puppet master from a client, I was getting a ''403 Forbidden error''. Have dug

I''m not sure at all what''s going on here, but I''ve spent a lot of time reading over the puppet hiera docs and setting everything up, but when I run puppet agent it just seems to ignore the hiera setup completely. Both the puppet master and agent nodes have exactly the same versions of puppet and hiera (installed via the official puppet APT repository). I''ve

I see that there''s a thread from September asking a very similar question ("Official puppetlabs position on cron vs puppet as a service?"). I want to ask what should I take into account when making this decision? Just some background: - All my servers are Red Hat or CentOS - We have about 5 servers managed by Puppet now. The goal is to have ~50 servers. These are generally
