>From the FAQ (which is a little in flux at the moment): How do I use Puppet’s graphing support? Puppet has graphing support capable of creating graph files of your Puppet client configurations. The graphs are created by and on the client, so you must enable the graph option. This will create files in dot format in the client’s graphdir directory; these files are text files and need to be interpreted by another application to get turned into images. The easiest way to do this is to use OmniGraffle, since it automatically converts them to attractive graphs, but it only runs on OS X. You can also install graphviz, which comes with the dot application, which you can use to turn the text files into images: dot -Tpng /var/puppet/state/graphs/resources.dot -o /tmp/configuration.png Regards James Turnbull -- Author of: * Pro Linux System Administration (http://tinyurl.com/linuxadmin) * Pulling Strings with Puppet (http://tinyurl.com/pupbook) * Pro Nagios 2.0 (http://tinyurl.com/pronagios) * Hardening Linux (http://tinyurl.com/hardeninglinux) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
