Im new to puppet and installed it in my home lab to mess with, when i installed it i used the hostname rather than FQDN so went back and changed puppet and reran the certificate tool to regenerate the certificates etc, the agent works fine now but i am getting an mccollective error i think, is there anything in the config i need to change for mccollective after altering the name to the FQDN?

Hi All, I have a working installation of a Puppet Master (CA) with Puppet agents, this using The Foreman. I really see the usage of Puppet this way but because The Foreman supports pushing your classes/templates to you nodes (agents) and uses the depricated Run/Kick for it I''m looking into Mcollective. Mcollective is supported by The Foreman since 1.2, the version I''m

I''ve been thinking a lot about running mcollective on my production servers recently, especially about its nice integration with puppet (using facts and so on). However I''ve got some concern about its scalability - how publish/subscribe middleware scales in terms of speed and flooding the network. I run about 2000 servers. Has anyone got any experience running mcollective on

I am currently trying to get mcollective 2.2.4 up and running on RHEL 6 activeqm appears to be running and bound to the correct port, I see the server and client connections to the activemq box.

I''ve been trying to find information, suggestions, etc. for how to combine scaling Puppet with the use of management tools like Dashboard/Foreman and MCollective. Our current thinking for an initial deployment is two VMs as Puppet Master worker nodes fronted by a pair of NetScalers. However, I''m not sure how to go about implementing Dashboard or Foreman and MCollective servers in

Hi everyone, I run MCollective 1.2.1 together with ActiveMQ 5.5 under Scientific Linux 6.1 on Amazon EC2. Overall it works like a charm, but sometimes (eg. 1/30) discovery fails. Still the exit-code of mco will be 0, which is a problem for me as I use MCollective e.g. to trigger deployments from Jenkins. I would like to ask for some feedback on the following ideas, that could fix this problem.

Hi, I deployed MCollective to our Puppet clients. approx. ~ 200. Our platform requires the most secure setup possible, so PSK as securityprovider is not an option. Therefor I changed the security provider to aes_security reusing puppets certificates in the server.cfg as found in the docs (1) Our goal is to use mcollective to offload event-driven actions to agents running on designated nodes from

http://saltstack.org/ http://puppetlabs.com/mcollective/ I found this link that talks about Func, Rundeck, Salt and mcollective, but it doesn''t really compare and contrast. http://www.coloandcloud.com/editorial/func-mcollective-salt-and-rundeck/(From a 10,000 overview Saltstack and mcollective look very similar.

HI, i''m currently trying to develop a task-driven rails-based frontend for some tasks that puppet/mcollective is doing in the background ( basically some user-management and some asset queries...).
