Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet is using high CPU usage!!!

[Rilindo Foster]

At 64 cores, the load average comes out to .4 per core. Somebody correct 
me, but that actually seems fairly low.


That said, if you want to pursue this further, I would suggest 
implementing something like this to give you a better idea of your 
Puppet Server health:

Hi,

We are using high end setup for our Puppet and foreman in CentOS

But, after installation of Foreman-installer puppet is eating the CPU

Is it because of RAID5 processor? Can anyone help on this to resolve 
this issue?

Re: [Puppet Users] puppetdb 4.3 on PG 9.4 fresh install fails to start with DB UTF8 encoding error

Hmm, I don't yet have a good idea why you're having this trouble, but as
another bit of data, I just tested that function against postgres 9.4
via psql and it worked fine, then against 8.4, and I saw something very
similar:

  $ psql -U rlb puppetdb
  psql (8.4.21)
  Type "help" for help.

  puppetdb=# create aggregate md5_agg_foo (bytea) (sfunc = dual_md5, stype = 
bytea, initcond = '\x00');
  WARNING:  nonstandard use of escape in a string literal
  LINE 1: ...bytea) (sfunc = dual_md5, stype = bytea, initcond = '\x00');
 ^
  HINT:  Use the escape string syntax for escapes, e.g., E'\r\n'.
  ERROR:  invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x00
  HINT:  This error can also happen if the byte sequence does not match the 
encoding expected by the server, which is controlled by "client_encoding".

But I believe puppetdb should be checking your database version before
we even get to that point via:

  
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetdb/blob/master/src/puppetlabs/puppetdb/scf/storage.clj#L1371

And indeed, when I try to run puppetdb against 8.4, I see this:

  * PostgreSQL DB versions older than 9.4 are no longer supported.  Please 
upgrade Postgres and restart PuppetDB.
  * 
  
  2017-02-17 16:23:09,000 ERROR [async-dispatch-2] [p.p.s.storage] 

  *
  * PostgreSQL DB versions older than 9.4 are no longer supported.  Please 
upgrade Postgres and restart PuppetDB.
  * 
  
  2017-02-17 16:23:09,007 INFO  [Thread-2] [p.t.internal] Shutting down due to 
JVM shutdown hook.
  2017-02-17 16:23:09,011 INFO  [Thread-2] [p.t.internal] Beginning shutdown 
sequence

So it does seem a bit unlikely that puppetdb is talking to a postgres
that's "too old".  Out of curiosity, does everything look reasonable
when you run

  ps aux | grep postgres

And if you take the PID for the main postgres process, something like:

  rlb  19180  1.3  0.5 2305952 82340 pts/5   S+   16:38   0:00 postgres -h 
localhost -D data

Then do you see the dir you expect for:

  ls -l /proc/19180/cwd

?

Thanks

By the way, and just for information ;), here an issue I have currently with 
eyaml
and Puppet 4 (_but_ I don't use hiera 5 yet):

https://github.com/TomPoulton/hiera-eyaml/issues/186

But I absolutely don't know if this issue is a Puppet side problem or a eyaml
side problem. If it's a Puppet side problem, it would be great to fix it with
hiera 5 \o/.


As I understand it, hiera 5 implementation is a reimplementation of the 
topmost layer in eyaml and it should be resposible for handling merges 
etc. The new functionality is available from Puppet 4.9.3 where you will 
also get explain support for eyaml.



If it's a eyaml side problem, unfortunately eyaml no longer seems
to be really maintained.



There are talks about Vox Pupuli taking over stewardship of eyaml.

Re: [Puppet Users] Newbie Question About Puppet

[Rich Burroughs]

PuppetDB is great :) You can use Puppet without it, but it gives you a lot
of insight into what's happening with puppet and your environment.

https://docs.puppet.com/puppetdb/4.3/

There's actually a Puppet module that you can use to set up PuppetDB:

[Puppet Users] Re: puppetdb 4.3 on PG 9.4 fresh install fails to start with DB UTF8 encoding error

[swk]

Hi Wyatt,

The environment is Oracle Linux 7.3.  Postgres 9.4 was installed from the 
PGDG repositories then tuned for memory usage.  I've pasted the content of 
the psql command to pastebin so it's easier to read: 
 http://pastebin.com/uveSYRWN.  

PuppetDB version:
puppetdb-4.3.0-1.el7.noarch
puppetdb-termini-4.3.0-1.el7.noarch
puppetdb-terminus-3-1.el7.noarch

Puppet server version:
puppetserver-2.7.2-1.el7.noarch



Thanks for your help.

Hi Ramin, just wanted to thank you for positing the presentation and the

[Puppet Users] Re: Puppet DB prune / vacuum

[Wyatt Alt]

Hey Anfield,

prune_upto was retired before 2016.2, along with the console database 
itself (the data is in PuppetDB now). The way to control report deletion is 
via the node_ttl, node_purge_ttl, and report_ttl PuppetDB configuration 
settings, which are documented here:
https://docs.puppet.com/puppetdb/latest/configure.html#node-ttl

The vacuum operations on the page you linked may be necessary if you start 
to run into performance issues resulting from database bloat, but they'll 
only clear dead tuples in the database; they won't delete data. My guess is 
you'll be fine with just the config settings, but you can read more about 
vacuum here if needed:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/sql-vacuum.html

Wyatt

[Puppet Users] Re: puppetdb 4.3 on PG 9.4 fresh install fails to start with DB UTF8 encoding error

[Wyatt Alt]

Hi,

This seems like a bug to me, but I can't reproduce it on postgres 9.4 + 
centos 7.3 and the combination of PDB 4.3 and postgres 9.4 is widely 
used/tested.

Can you give a bit more detail about your environment? I'd like to know 
your OS and version and the method you used to install postgres. It would 
also be good to see the output of

'\l+'

executed in psql, which will give you a table like this:
https://gist.github.com/wkalt/bbffafe68ec4018f7bcbc5b62961dc24

Thanks,
Wyatt

Re: [Puppet Users] puppet agent -t throwing error

Abhay Kumar  writes:

seems like there's no node definition for puppet-client.com and the
default node definition is also missing.

please see

https://docs.puppet.com/puppet/4.9/lang_node_definitions.html

for more info on node definitions.

remember: if you have one node definition in you manifests, you need to
define all other nodes as well. otherwise catalog compilation will
fail. use the default node def to catch nodes that are currently
undefined.

[Puppet Users] console parameter value with dollar becomes interpolation

[João Matos]

Hi all

we're trying to assign a value to a parameter with a dollar and that is a 
problem.
adding a backslash only makes the string become backslashed which is not 
what we want. Different types of quoting did seem to work either..
I'm sure a lot of people add this issue but i couldnt find an answer on 
search engines or this group.

Any solution or simply not allowed?

tks!

We believe that this issue was fixed in the recently released Puppet 4.9.2. 
See https://docs.puppet.com/puppet/4.9/release_notes.html#bug-fixes 
and https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-7164

Re: [Puppet Users] Newbie Question About Puppet

Hi,
Thank you very much for your response, what about puppet db? is that

benefits of using

PostgreSQL.

To use Puppet Server there are two packages you will install:

1. puppet-agent
2. puppet-server

puppet-agent contains Puppet itself and its dependencies. The latest
agent version is 1.9.1, which contains Puppet 4.9.2. There is a list of
known versions on this page:
https://docs.puppet.com/puppet/latest/about_agent.html

puppet-server adds the server components to puppet-agent. The server
uses Puppet from puppet-agent. The latest server version is 2.7.2, and
see https://docs.puppet.com/puppetserver/latest/release_notes.html for
the latest release notes.

Install puppet-agent 1.9.1 and puppet-server 2.7.2 (at the time of
writing) and you'll have the latest Puppet 4.9.
