Try looking in /usr/share/puppet-dashboard/log/.
Did you update the dashboard or puppet master recently? I have ran into similar problems after updates, since I run the dashboard on a different port than the external_nodes script uses. The DASHBOARD_URL in /usr/share/puppet-dashboard/bin/external_node got changed back into localhost:3000 and as a result, all my nodes were seen as unresponsive.

Anyone out there run into this issue before or have any idea about how to troubleshoot such a problem? Any help would be appreciated. I can't keep rebuilding puppet dashboard every time this happens.

Thanks

    Yes, the workers are definitely running and I have tried
    restarting puppet-dashboard-workers a few times as well as
    rebooting the vm completely without any luck.  Something seems to
    be stuck somewhere but I can't figure out what.  This has happened
    a few times now and I have just been recreating from scratch to
    get it functional again.  Are there any logs for the workers that
    might tell us why these pending jobs are stuck or not finishing?

    Thanks.

        Make sure that your dashboard workers are running. If you are
        using CentOS then "service puppet-dashboard-workers status"
        will tell you.

        I am a new puppet user and wanted some type of monitoring for
        puppet so deployed puppet-dashboard.  It has been working
        very well for a few days not, but all of a sudden I start
        getting pending tasks and they never finish even after
        restarting all processes.  They keep accumulating and never
        seem to finish even though the clients are running fine.  I
        have the puppet-dashboard running on a different server than
        my puppetmaster.  Is there any way to troubleshoot what seems
        to be stuck and how to I get it going without having to
        destroy the dashboard mysql db and recreating it again?  That
        is the only way I have got it working again but that is not
        the correct way of doing this :)  Any help would be appreciated.

        Thanks!
