[Puppet Users] Re: Load balancing Puppet Server

Hello Joao, sorry - no help, but I'm also looking for a puppet server 2.x howto about centralizing the CA. I'm currently using mod_proxy/mod_passenger with an F5 loadbalancer in front of two servers. I'd be nice if puppetlabs would provide such an howto, it´d help/speedup puppetserver adoption

[Puppet Users] Registering a puppet agent node with alternate short hostname or alias

We were trying to register gcloud instances to puppet master, but the instance names are very long with uc1f-coster-xxx02.c.xxxa--xx0.internal Is it possible to register these nodes with a short hostname or an alias...?, I tried adding below line in /etc/puppet/puppet.cong of client. dns_alt

Re: [Puppet Users] Registering a puppet agent node with alternate short hostname or alias

By default, the certname is the fully qualified domain. You can change it via the node_name_value or node_name_fact; however, you need to have a very good reason to change the settings before you move forward with it. https://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/configuration.html#certname -

Re: [Puppet Users] client certificate issue

Hi, there really is no way for the master to tell directly. The best approach is to enable storing of reports (e.g. in PuppetDB) so that you can monitor agent operation. Afflicted agents do not run and do not report. Tools like Puppet Explorer can indicate this to you very directly. HTH, Felix

Well you will have to devise a defined type that takes the variable name as the resource title, and the value as an argument. Data structure has to be my_variables: my_project1: var1: value: value1 var2: value: value2 Then the my_project1 hash is eligible for use with c

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Load balancing Puppet Server

I presume one of the hosts is still the puppetmaster, I took the tack of using a separate virtual server and pool for the CA. All hosts get catalog requests but all hosts are configured to use the CA virtual server for CA work. On Wed, May 13, 2015 at 02:28:26AM -0700, Stefan Wiederoder wrote: >

[Puppet Users] Re: Puppet Environments change after upgrading to 3.7.5

We are using PE 3.7.2 with r10k, so I don't know how specifically useful this will be, but PE requires the use of basemodulepath. https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/config_file_environment.html puppet.conf on master: [main] basemodulepath = /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules:/o

[Puppet Users] Re: Puppet Environments change after upgrading to 3.7.5

Re-sending after reading your situation more carefully. We are using PE 3.7.2 with r10k and directory environments, so I don't know how specifically useful this will be since you're still using config environments. Directory environments / PE use basemodulepath now (I'm not sure about config e

[Puppet Users] Re: Local Module installation via r10k - puppet ....Help Needed

Vijayabalan, So the Puppetfile for r10k is not the same as for Librarian-puppet, and there is no :path key for a mod in r10k. You'll either have to keep them in a repo and specify a :git key, or pull them from the forge. Docs for r10k's use of Puppetfile! https://docs.puppetlabs.com/pe/latest
