I have one of 18+ servers in an environment that just started having a problem when attempting to do an update. On the node I enter the command 'puppetd -t --debug --trace'. I don't see anything obvious but the error is: "Could not retrieve catalog from remote server"
I set the puppetmaster into debug mode with command 'puppetmasterd -- no-daemonize --debug -v'. When the node attempts to update there is no output by the PM. I therefore setup tcpdump to watch the traffic and there is in fact traffic as shown below. Therefore I know that there is communications. On occasions it will update but is completely random. Any suggestions?
