RE: [Puppet Users] Outofmemory error for puppetserver process

[Johan De Wit]

Hi Jim, 



You should find some answers here : 
https://docs.puppet.com/puppetserver/2.3/tuning_guide.html



per jruby instance, we assign 512mb tot the VM, so 256mb is a little too less.

Hey Guys,

I am wondering what is the problem with the following puppetserver process and 
how to have it resolved.

Interesting thing is puppetserver is still running ! and is able to communicate 
it with agents so I am not sure what is the problem !

I still have 2GB of free memory on my VM

As you can see I have set puppetserver memory to as low as 256MB. I tried to 
change it to 512MB as well but still it reports "OutOfMemory" so kept it on 
256MB anyway.

Here is the output which confirms that puppetserver is running.

Hi Harish,

I tried to do a simulation at my end and it might be because of syntax

[Puppet Users] What is the meaning of all these different version commands

[Jim]

root@jim-Ubuntu1504:/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments# puppet --version
4.4.1
root@jim-Ubuntu1504:/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments# puppetserver 
--version
puppetserver version: 2.3.1
root@jim-Ubuntu1504:/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments# puppet agent 
--version
4.4.1

Also If I want to upgrade my Ubuntu from 15.10 to 16.04 would the puppet 
server and agent would also get upgraded?

Please advise.


Thanks
Jim

[Puppet Users] Re: Custom Facts for windows with powershell

[Jim]

Hi Harish,

I am new to powershell and would like t help you although I am new to 
puppet itself.

In your powershell command why are you looking for registry key 'Uninstall' 
should it be Installed?

Please advise.

Thanks
Jim

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet and SVN

[Rob Nelson]

I wrote some articles on using Git with puppet and r10k. It's a little out
of date in the referenced versions of puppet and r10k, so check to make
sure you're using the modern file locations, but otherwise remains
accurate.
https://rnelson0.com/2014/05/19/puppet-and-git-201-r10k-setup-installation/

There's a link to a Git 100 series I wrote if you need assistance with Git
itself.

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet and SVN

[Christopher Wood]

It sounds like what you are thinking about is the roles/profiles paradigm, and 
your tool is r10k. Reading suggestions:

https://puppet.com/blog/git-workflows-puppet-and-r10k
http://somethingsinistral.net/blog/rethinking-puppet-deployment/
http://garylarizza.com/blog/2014/02/18/puppet-workflow-part-3/
https://github.com/puppetlabs/r10k/blob/master/doc/dynamic-environments/workflow-guide.mkd

It will help you to download your first set of modules from the puppet forge. 
There's not much point re-implementing automated ntp management for instance. 
Later on you can do your own modules for any proprietary bits.

https://forge.puppet.com/

Think of it as using git as a tool to implement. You are not retrofitting git 
on your workflow, you are using git to record it.

I have one of the largest SVN backed Puppet systems. It's painful,
slows us down, and we're getting off it this quarter. Finally.

If you don't have much dev experience, the idea that each branch
exists as a set of files in SVN initially sounds great. However the
inability to split work off into branches both short and long lived
starts to take its toll. Also tooling it hard, can't push a branch for
someone else to check out. You end up having "scratch space" for tests
that eventually have to be merged. It makes it hard to do sweeping
changes as scratch space has to encompass it all at least in most
schemes I've observed.

I'm sure there are ways around some of the problems, but git based
branch development is ridiculously good with minimal investment. That
said git will seem like more work than you'd like when you have one or
two people working on the codebase. I never appreciated till I was on a
larger team.

Answering the other question, I recommend starting with
/etc/*puppetwhatever*/environments/{production|stage|etc}/ as releasses
of your src control rather than deploying directly to /etc/puppetlabs/
from src control.

Alex, listen to Ramin!

Since I started coding, I have used (in order):

SCCS
RCS
CVS
ClearCase
Perforce
SVN
git

With the exception of git they have all been a total pain to use.

With git, being different from the others it may seem daunting at first. 
Also, at the beginning your are bound to make beginner mistakes.
Take the advice to start early with git. Even if you are just 
exploring/hacking/learning - that way if you screw things up it is not 
the end of the world, and you learn the right way. Contrast that with 
having to do everything with quality at some later point where you have 
a working system and "retrofitting" - now you have to figure out all the 
git related stuff at once without any prior experience.


Don't bother going first to SVN and then use the SVN to git. I have 
migrated SVN to git - it works, but then you have to learn that domain 
as well (it has its pitfalls).


As you go along you want to hang out on Slack or IRC (which ever suits 
you best). There you will find many helpful colleagues that will help 
you out, be it with puppet or git.


Best,
- henrik

Do yourself a huge favour, use git as the tool you use to construct the setup. 
Use it from the start of the process, not just as what you put things into when 
you're done.

Thoughts are
install puppet
install puppetDB
install heira ??



Since you are starting fresh. You are probably starting with something 
like Puppet 4.4.x and since puppet 4.0.0 the packaging is "all in one" 
for puppet. There is no need to install hiera separately.

setup environments, currently thinking
Prod - all prod env
SIM - testing for prod
INF - inf
NON Prod - anything thats not above
dev - testing
alex - personal

Then I was going to create a whole bundle of profiles break up into

OS app
things like
smtp
ssh
http
etc

have the default company setup

Company Apps
things that cover company apps


Then build some roles - based solely from profiles.

Then some how dynamically assign nodes to a roles / environment.


Sounds okay ??

You probably want to use the project r10k to manage your
manifests/configurations that are stored in a source code control
repository.

Here is the page that explains a bit about r10k and SVN:
https://github.com/puppetlabs/r10k/blob/master/doc/dynamic-environment
s/svn-environments.mkd

There is also lots of material available on r10k itsef that is easy to
find if you google for it.

Re: [Puppet Users] History of possible usage of EPP URIs in the form of "'puppet:////.epp"?

[Eric Sorenson]

I'm CC'ing Jo Rhett directly here in case he doesn't come across this 
organically --

The only place the puppet:/// syntax has ever been valid is in the 'source' 
attribute for File resources; the epp function, like template(), is 
expanded on the master during compilation and the contents are included in 
the catalog so it doesn't make sense to include a URL reference (which 
would be expanded on the agent).

Re: [Puppet Users] manip of a hash

[Andreas Zuber]

Hi

You can just use variable interpolation: 
https://docs.puppet.com/hiera/1/variables.html .This will basically 
makes another hiera lookup to retrieve the value of ssl_pub_key and 
ssl_priv_key.


hieradata/myhost.yaml

my_apache::vhosts:
'my_new_vhost':
name:
port:
ssl_pub_key: "|%{hiera('|ssl_pub_key')}"
ssl_priv_key: "|%{hiera('|ssl_priv_key')}"


hieradata/common.yaml

ssl_pub_key: 'some pub key..'
ssl_priv_key: 'some priv key'

Additionally there are also tools available to manage keys outside of 
your yaml files you you don't have to check them into your version 
control: https://github.com/duritong/trocla


Greetings
Andreas

I don't want to put the real information because that's mean I duplicate
the information.

I still want the ssl_pub_key/ssl_priv_key inside my hieradata/common.yaml
because those variables are use in other module.

So the only way I see it is to put inside my

   modules/my_apache/manifests/init.pp

something like

but I don't see how I can put those two informations inside the

[Puppet Users] Cert error after changing the node FQDN

[Cesar]

Hi all,

I have seen this behaviour and I am not sure of why it is happening.

There's a node that is using Puppet normally:

May 20 20:58:18 node1dot90 puppet-agent[50057]: Finished catalog run in 
41.90 seconds



Then Puppet was restarted, and after the restart the agent noticed that the 
FQDN had changed (from node1dot90 to node1dot90.myvpn.com). Therefore, it 
tried to recreate its cert:

May 20 20:58:26 node1dot90 puppet-agent[24886]: Caught TERM; calling stop
May 20 20:58:27 node1dot90 puppet-agent[62421]: Reopening log files
May 20 20:58:27 node1dot90 puppet-agent[62415]: Creating a new SSL key for 
node1dot90.myvpn.com
May 20 20:58:28 node1dot90 puppet-agent[62415]: Creating a new SSL 
certificate request for node1dot90.myvpn.com
May 20 20:58:28 node1dot90 puppet-agent[62415]: Certificate Request 
fingerprint (SHA256): BF:72:B6:08:C8:48:D3:3F:C8:E4:7C:E8:D0:CD:60:97:A1:2F:
DE:3A:4C:C3:5C:61:25:FE:A4:53:79:D2:C1:54
May 20 20:58:28 node1dot90 puppet-agent[62415]: Caching certificate for 
node1dot90.myvpn.com


The Puppetmaster signed the cert:

May 20 20:58:28 ms1dot90 puppet-master[45608]: node1dot90.myvpn.com has a 
waiting certificate request
May 20 20:58:28 ms1dot90 puppet-master[45608]: Signed certificate request 
for node1dot90.myvpn.com
May 20 20:58:28 ms1dot90 puppet-master[45608]: Removing file Puppet::SSL::
CertificateRequest node1dot90.myvpn.com at 
'/var/lib/puppet/ssl/ca/requests/node1dot90.myvpn.com.pem'


But then the agent failed because the certificate did not match

May 20 20:58:28 node1dot90 puppet-agent[62415]: Sleeping for 14 seconds (splay 
is enabled)
May 20 20:58:28 node1dot90 puppet-agent[62421]: Could not request 
certificate: The certificate retrieved from the master does not match the 
agent's private key.
May 20 20:58:28 node1dot90 puppet-agent[62421]: Certificate fingerprint: 
82:B5:A1:4E:51:69:8B:3B:7D:09:4D:02:79:93:37:CE:53:B0:EA:95:83:AD:0D:13:17:EE:95:81:31:20:9F:76
May 20 20:58:28 node1dot90 puppet-agent[62421]: To fix this, remove the 
certificate from both the master and the agent and then start a puppet run, 
which will automatically regenerate a certficate.
May 20 20:58:28 node1dot90 puppet-agent[62421]: On the master:
May 20 20:58:28 node1dot90 puppet-agent[62421]:   puppet cert clean 
node1dot90.myvpn.com
May 20 20:58:28 node1dot90 puppet-agent[62421]: On the agent:
May 20 20:58:28 node1dot90 puppet-agent[62421]:   rm -f 
/var/lib/puppet/ssl/certs/node1dot90.myvpn.com.pem
May 20 20:58:28 node1dot90 puppet-agent[62421]:   puppet agent -t


How is that possible? If the Puppetmaster signed the certificate one second 
before there should be no mismatch, right?

Thanks!
Cesar.

This link in your cycle looks faulty:

Package[splunkforwarder] => File[/opt/staging/splunk/splunkforwarder-6.3.3-
f44afce176d0-linux-2.6-x86_64.rpm

It's not clear to me where that is being declared, but if you're presenting 
the File as the source for the Package, then the former must be managed 
prior to the latter, contrary to the relationship reported in your output.  
The splunk module appears to be setting a correct relationship between the 
two, but something causing the the given relationship to be declared as 
well.  I presume that no such relationship is declared specifically, so it 
it probably being introduced by a chain operator with a collection operand 
that happens to collect an unintended resource.

You have not presented manifests with which this error can be reproduced, 
so we cannot identify the error with any confidence, but I observe that the 
Splunk module itself contains just the kind of chain operations that I 
describe, in the form of several chains including these links:

Package<| $package_name |> -> File <| tag == 'splunk_server' |>

The same class later declares and explicitly tags several File resources 
that it intends to be collected by the latter collector, and of course 
those don't include the RPM file, but that's not the only way resources can 
be tagged.  It may be that the RPM file resource is obtaining the tag 
'splunk_server' via automatic tagging 
.
  
If the file does obtain that tag by any means, then you will end up with a 
cycle such as you present.
