[Puppet Users] MCollective across subnets

Hi peeps, I recently installed MCollective using the puppetlabs module. I'm just beginning to find my way around it but I've noticed that quite a few of my nodes aren't appearing in MCollective. The nodes are split across 4 subnets (three publicly address, one private. Two of the public ones

[Puppet Users] "locking" puppet runs

We run our puppet agents as daemons with runinterval set to 30m. This works fine for the mostpart, but recently we took on three MariaDB Galera cluster nodes. In order for the cluster to survive, at least one node must be running at all times, i.e. you must not restart the MariaDB service on al

[Puppet Users] Optional parameters in Nagios_host

I'm struggling a little bit with this one. Some of my puppet nodes have lights-out management. For those that do, I want to put the IP address of their iLOM card in Hiera and have that appear as the notes_url in nagios_host{}. This works well for hosts that *do* have iLOM, but for those with

[Puppet Users] PuppetDB intermittent crashing

Hi folks, I'm using Puppet with PuppetDB running on the same machine, but with the Postgresql database on an external server. Several times a day, PuppetDB seems to crash with errors like the one below. Nodes are then unable to check in, although Puppet will restart its own PuppetDB service on

[Puppet Users] Puppet always recreates Nagios_hosts

I've been using puppet with nagios for ages without any problems. Recently I looked into the puppet logs on my nagios server and it seems on every puppet run, puppet throws an error and recreates all the nagios_host objects (see below), even if none of them have been changed. I haven't changed

[Puppet Users] Hiera seems to be using stale data

Hi chaps, I'm using Hiera in a light way to store a few global values for my servers, including the site-wide SMTP relay etc. Yesterday I changed one of the values to reflect my organisation's new SMTP server, but the change hasn't been applied to my nodes. I'm using camptocamp/postfix to con
