What it looks like to me is going on is the YML file for the host ends up
on the Remote Master (which I can verify by looking for it) and the node.rb
is running on the Grand Master. Since the YML files isn't on the Grand
Master the lookup (of course) fails. So the real question is can we make
the YML file go to the Grand Master.
To that end I played with a couple of settings
Here is a partial dump of what I have in the puppet.conf file for the
Remote Master:
[master]
storeconfigs = true
storeconfigs_backend = puppetdb
inventory_server =<Grand Master FQDN>
autosign = $confdir/autosign.conf { mode = 664 }
reports = foreman
external_nodes = /etc/puppet/node.rb
node_terminus = exec
I found a reference to an inventory server in the Puppet docs but that
seems to have had no effect on the problem. What I'm wondering about is
the "external_node" and "node_terminus" settings. Are those correct for
what I'm trying to do or should that be something else?
