Its a common TCP error, and is something all administrators should know, because it doesn't just affect PuppetDB. What it means is that the hostname and port the client is trying to connect to, in this case puppet.internal and 8081 respectively, is either not the correct host or port, PuppetDB is not listening correctly to this host or port because it is down or misconfigured or some firewall is rejecting the connection (less likely, but worth noting). So what you need to check: * From your puppet master try telnetting into the port and show your results. "telnet puppet.internal 8081" * Check that the PuppetDB instance is really listening on port 8081 and on a public interface on that host, you can usually check this with netstat -anp | grep 8081 on the PDB host. Provide the results in the thread if you can. * Check the settings in your /etc/puppetdb/conf.d/jetty.ini, and ensure that ssl-host is set to something like 0.0.0.0 to listen on all interfaces. You can always refine this once you have it working, but this is the recommend base setting. If you change it, restart PuppetDB. * Check that the PuppetDB java process is running also. "ps auxww | grep java" is a good start, provide the results if you like in thread. * Ensure that the hostname 'puppet.internal' resolves to what you think it does. A large amount of these errors are due to assumptions about what hostnames resolve to ... it must resolve to the IP that PuppetDB is listening on. Check /etc/hosts on your puppet master ...
