I've set up puppet and had it running, but never bothered to set up an version control. I've decided it is time to get it all in version control as the system is about to become production and I need to keep track of who is changing things and what is being changed. I am looking at storing all m

Splunk is in the works, puppet was the first step in the formula. We do have a centralized log server, it's just that not all the client boxes have the proper syslog-ng config in place - another think that puppet was supposed to "fix" but since it's not doing anything, I'm SOL. I have enabled rep

I understand your frustration with this problem, but you've now mentioned in almost every email that puppet is "not doing anything", "puppet isn't doing it's job", and "it's not doing anything". Since there are many happy users of puppet, it's a good indicator that puppet does indeed work, and it

OK so I'm looking at one client machine, and it looks like the information in /var/puppet/state/ is out of date by about a week. Shouldn't those files get recreated anytime that puppetd runs? Also I'm runing puppetd --verbose, but not seeing anything in /var/ puppet/log/ I have the following in p

Nigel, Thanks *phew* that was an easy one line fix! I had upgraded the server from 0.24.4 to 0.24.5 trying to troubleshoot another issue, and introduced this one. Oh well, live and learn. I'll keep my eyes posted, see if the catalogs get run now on the client machines. JOsh On Sep 18, 11:29

So I made the change on the server roughly 30 minutes ago, hopefully within a few hours most of the clients will have checked back in to the server and downloaded the catalogs fresh (I shouldn't need to restart puppetd or remove /var/puppet/state on the clients should I?) Josh On Sep 18, 11:44
