Thanks Peter, I may be running into a different problem now, in /var/log/messages I get the error: puppet-agent[808]: Could not request certificate: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known
which seems to indicate issues resolving my master address, but I have no trouble resolving the hostname puppet4 either via ping or nslookup and I've tried explicitly setting the hostnames puppet puppet4 and puppet4.<fqdn> in /etc/hosts both to the interface IP and 127.0.0.1 and I still get the same error. if I run 'puppet agent -t' the cert generates and everything checks in just fine, but running the puppet service still has issues: Jul 3 09:47:46 puppet21b puppet-agent[1429]: Unable to fetch my node definition, but the agent run will continue: Jul 3 09:47:46 puppet21b puppet-agent[1429]: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known On Monday, June 19, 2017 at 4:52:55 AM UTC-4, Peter Faller wrote: > > You can specify which client certificate(s) to clean by means of: > > # puppet cert clean <certname> > > > > On Friday, 16 June 2017 00:31:57 UTC+2, aaron....@gmail.com wrote: >> >> I'm running into an issue on one of our puppet4 servers where the agent >> only works when run as 'puppet agent -t' but fails when run via the puppet >> service 'systemctl restart puppet' results in errors as follows: >> >> <snip> >> >> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
