Just to re-incarnate this issue, have we fixed this on puppet 3.x? Or at least documented how to easier solve this issue? At most sites the log output scrolls so fast that you need an arcane command line to see these errors: cat /var/log/messages | grep puppet-master | grep -v "Not sending tagmail report" | grep -v "Compiled catalog for " | grep -v "Starting Puppet master" | grep -v "Authentication based on IP address" I tried filtering syslog based on level and did not receive the information I wanted in the separate log. If there is an effective way to do this, documentation of it would be greatly appreciated. -- Jo Rhett Net Consonance : net philanthropy to improve open source and internet projects. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
