FAQ
Hi,

I am still learning Puppet meaning that I'm still struggling through things.


I have setup Puppet on CentOS 6.x (latest release), installed the
Puppet Labs repos and followed the instructions on the site:

http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/setting_up.html

So far I am able to get the server to sign hosts and run: puppet agent
--test on the host successfully (which is more luck then I had with
the Puppet training ISO).


With regards to the dashboard I have gone through this documentation:

http://docs.puppetlabs.com/dashboard/index.html


Which has got me to be able to get the Puppet Dash in my web browser.

My issue is that I have added nodes to the Dash but they are claiming
to be unreported??


I entered the FQDN's of both server and host, the Parameters, Groups,
and Classes sections are blank; but unfortunately the Dash is claiming
that the hosts are not reporting in?


Puppet Client (puppet.conf):

[main]
# The Puppet log directory.
# The default value is '$vardir/log'.
logdir = /var/log/puppet

# Where Puppet PID files are kept.
# The default value is '$vardir/run'.
rundir = /var/run/puppet

# Where SSL certificates are kept.
# The default value is '$confdir/ssl'.
ssldir = $vardir/ssl


[agent]

report = true

Here is output of puppet agent --test on client:


# puppet agent --test
info: Caching catalog for pc.jabber.com
info: Applying configuration version '1336044868'
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.01 seconds


...and server:


puppet agent --test
info: Caching catalog for ps.jabber.com
info: Applying configuration version '1336044868'
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.04 seconds



Can anybody help me?

Kaya

    Based on the configuration provided above, it appears you still need
    to configure puppet so dashboard is the external node terminus:

    Hi.

    Scenario: Install puppet/puppet-dashboard successfully, puppet is run by

    Additionally something weird that has happened this morning is that my
    Puppet agents won't sync up??


    I've tested the time, ran ntpdate <server> and then enabled ntpd; this
    unfortunately doesn't help.


    What is strange is that it was working fine last week, even with reboots.???


    The logs don't really give any information other then: "Could not
    retrieve catalog from remote server, not using cache on failed
    catalog, could not retrieve catalog, could not send report"


    I will continue debugging but I don't understand what's going on!

    Hi,

    I am still learning Puppet meaning that I'm still struggling through things.


    I have setup Puppet on CentOS 6.x (latest release), installed the
    Puppet Labs repos and followed the instructions on the site:

    http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/setting_up.html

    So far I am able to get the server to sign hosts and run: puppet agent
    --test on the host successfully (which is more luck then I had with
    the Puppet training ISO).


    With regards to the dashboard I have gone through this documentation:

    http://docs.puppetlabs.com/dashboard/index.html


    Which has got me to be able to get the Puppet Dash in my web browser.

    My issue is that I have added nodes to the Dash but they are claiming
    to be unreported??


    I entered the FQDN's of both server and host, the Parameters, Groups,
    and Classes sections are blank; but unfortunately the Dash is claiming
    that the hosts are not reporting in?


    Puppet Client (puppet.conf):

    [main]
    # The Puppet log directory.
    # The default value is '$vardir/log'.
    logdir = /var/log/puppet

    # Where Puppet PID files are kept.
    # The default value is '$vardir/run'.
    rundir = /var/run/puppet

    # Where SSL certificates are kept.
    # The default value is '$confdir/ssl'.
    ssldir = $vardir/ssl


    [agent]
    # The file in which puppetd stores a list of the classes
    # associated with the retrieved configuratiion.  Can be loaded in
    # the separate ``puppet`` executable using the ``--loadclasses``
    # option.
    # The default value is '$confdir/classes.txt'.
    classfile = $vardir/classes.txt

    # Where puppetd caches the local configuration.  An
    # extension indicating the cache format is added automatically.
    # The default value is '$confdir/localconfig'.
    localconfig = $vardir/localconfig

    report = true

    server = ps.jabber.com

    Puppet Server (puppet.conf):

    [main]
    # The Puppet log directory.
    # The default value is '$vardir/log'.
    logdir = /var/log/puppet

    # Where Puppet PID files are kept.
    # The default value is '$vardir/run'.
    rundir = /var/run/puppet

    # Where SSL certificates are kept.
    # The default value is '$confdir/ssl'.
    ssldir = $vardir/ssl

    reports = store, http
    reporturl = http://ps.jabber.com:3000/reports

    [agent]
    # The file in which puppetd stores a list of the classes
    # associated with the retrieved configuratiion.  Can be loaded in
    # the separate ``puppet`` executable using the ``--loadclasses``
    # option.
    # The default value is '$confdir/classes.txt'.
    classfile = $vardir/classes.txt

    # Where puppetd caches the local configuration.  An
    # extension indicating the cache format is added automatically.
    # The default value is '$confdir/localconfig'.
    localconfig = $vardir/localconfig


    report = true

    server = ps.jabber.com


    Here is output of puppet agent --test on client:


    # puppet agent --test
    info: Caching catalog for pc.jabber.com
    info: Applying configuration version '1336044868'
    notice: Finished catalog run in 0.01 seconds


    ...and server:


    puppet agent --test
    info: Caching catalog for ps.jabber.com
    info: Applying configuration version '1336044868'
    notice: Finished catalog run in 0.04 seconds



    Can anybody help me?
    Based on the configuration provided above, it appears you still need
    to configure puppet so dashboard is the external node terminus:

    http://docs.puppetlabs.com/dashboard/manual/1.2/bootstrapping.html#using-dashboard-for-node-classification

    HTH,

    Thanks Nan for the help, however not when the new config is added....
    puppet-dashboard service won't start?

    I have checked the logs to see if there is anything defined but
    nothing comes out as being a guide to what the error maybe :-(


    Regards,

    Kaya

    Additionally something weird that has happened this morning is that my
    Puppet agents won't sync up??


    I've tested the time, ran ntpdate <server> and then enabled ntpd; this
    unfortunately doesn't help.


    What is strange is that it was working fine last week, even with reboots.???


    The logs don't really give any information other then: "Could not
    retrieve catalog from remote server, not using cache on failed
    catalog, could not retrieve catalog, could not send report"


    I will continue debugging but I don't understand what's going on!


    --K

    Ok I finally managed to get things going!

    It turns out that Puppet-Master hadn't been started and the fact that
    for whatever reason I needed to regenerate all my config for the
    dashboard and even the /etc/hosts file got wiped out?? Probably after
    a yum update :-( {damn linux can be annoying at times}

    So here is new issue if I run puppet agent --test on the server:

    err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on
    SERVER: Could not find node 'uk-tst-pup-1.area51.co.uk'; cannot
    compile
    warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
    err: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run



    This is what the log shows:

    The name lookup should be fine:

    # nslookup uk-tst-pup-1.area51.co.uk
    Server: 172.16.8.15
    Address: 172.16.8.15#53

    Name: uk-tst-pup-1.area51.co.uk
    Address: 172.16.8.72


    and the /etc/hosts file:


    # cat /etc/hosts
    127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4
    localhost4.localdomain4 uk-tst-pup-1 uk-tst-pup-1.area51.co.uk puppet
    #127.0.0.1 uk-tst-pup-1 uk-tst-pup-1.area51.co.uk
    ::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
    172.16.8.72 uk-tst-pup-1 uk-tst-pup-1.area51.co.uk puppet


    What else can I test or do in order to get round the error???

    Kaya
