Ok I restarted puppetmaster daemon and then broke a module to create a failed puppet run on the same host as the master...and here's /var/log/ messages from that

skipping run Also that doesn't seem like much debug output...incase I'm doing this incorrectly here is my "/etc/sysconfig/puppetmaster" PUPPETMASTER_EXTRA_OPTS="--reports puppet_dashboard --debug" Also I induced a failed puppet run on a remote client and noticed that it failed to import the xmpp report plugins because the xmpp.yaml file wasn't readable. I fixed by copying the server's copy to the client's /etc/puppet directory. Does that file have to be pushed to all clients? Could that file configuration be sent to all clients from the puppet-xmpp module or should I create another module for that , something like "plugins" ?
