I'm not making myself very clear also :) (as you are also in Berlin, you can realize my first question was rather late in the night ;) )
I do apologize. Here is an hopefully enlightening snippet: $ grep -e 'server' /etc/puppet/puppet.conf server = puppetmaster $ ping puppetmaster (host down) # service puppet start ... So at this point the puppet client will not be able to connect, throwing something like that if run with --no-daemonize and --verbose : err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known warning: Not using cache on failed catalog err: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run Now, I was expecting to find those messages inside the /var/log/puppet/ folder, as I expected the clients to "check on" the master every 30 minutes... But, I'm starting to think I'm getting this wrong ? Maybe the puppetmaster is "pushing" to puppets every 30 minutes ?
