[Puppet Users] Monitoring Puppet with Zabbix
Hello! Is there a way to monitor puppet runs with zabbix? Here is what i want to monitor: - a host's puppet run is more than 20 minutes ago - a puppet run fails I have searched through the internet, but I only found solutions which works with zabbix-sender and my colleagues do not want to install zabbix-sender, or to use report-processors which work like zabbix-sender. I hope someone can help me or maybe someone has a solution he uses.. Thank you! Greets -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

[Puppet Users] Re: Monitoring Puppet with Zabbix
Hello, thank you for your reply! We often have many changes which are automatically done, so we need to run puppet that often. I thougt about this way yet, because we are using Zabbix-Agent UserParameters. But -honestly- I don't know how to realise this and I'm actually not able to write a ruby script.. You must know, I'm a newbie. ^^ I'll have a look at this and give a short feedback if I found a solution! Thank you! Am Montag, 18.

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Monitoring Puppet with Zabbix
Hello, sorry but in the past there was honestly no time to look at this problem. Today I had some "sparetime" and built a short script, which reads from the puppet - last_run_summary.yaml-file. This script is started by zabbix via a zabbix-user-parameter. I'm now able to monitor if a puppetrun is more than 20 minutes ago, if any errors came up and the puppetrun-time! *If someone needs this script or help, don't hasitate to contact me!* I thank you all very much!!! -Hoize Am Dienstag, 19.

[Puppet Users] Implement Puppet Master into our productive environment
Hello! Tthe last months I installed and tested a Puppet Master in a testing environment. But now I have to imigrate it into our Productive Environment. So I have some questions: 1. How many nodes can Puppet Master (Open Source) maximal provide? 2. If it is necessary to cluster for about 50 - 60 nodes: Is it possible to cluster Puppet Master in connection with Foreman.

[Puppet Users] Puppet Open Source with own Certificates
Hello! Because I can't find anything with google search to my problem with Puppet Open Source, I hope someone of you can help me. On my masterserver there I have installed Foreman running on Apache and Puppet Master. I wanted to replace the certificates of Apache with own certificates to eradicate problems with the Browser (Certificate Trust). But then I got another problem: The nodes could not communicate with the Master. So I decided to replace all certs with own certs, on the nodes and on the master. But how could I do this? I hope you can help me. At PuppetLabs-Docs I only found the configuration for Puppet Enterprise for my issue. Thank You!

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet Open Source with own Certificates
Hi! I took the foreman-installer, which installed PuppetMaster, Apache2, MySQL,... Yes, the certificates are used by puppet and by foreman.. But even if I only change the paths of the SSL-Engine in the Apache2 sites-config to my own certificates, the web-browser works fine, butt puppet can't communicate with the nodes.. Thank You!

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet Open Source with own Certificates
Hi! After a few hours of trial and error my problem is solved. Here is the Solution: /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/02-foreman.conf: SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile #Here you have to use SSLCertificateKeyFile #your own signed certificate + key /etc/puppet/foreman.yaml: ... :ssl_ca: # Here you have to use the cert of your CA (which created your Certificate for your Webserver) ... The other certificates are self-signed certs from puppet. So my Browser-SSL-Failure is fixed and the nodes (puppet agents) get the certs signed from puppetmaster. Thank You!

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet Reports
Instead of PuppetDB there I have installed MySQL. Yes, of course I can grab the reports from MySQL, but I think it would be a better way to define nxlog in the puppet.conf, where you can choose if the logs should be for example stored in logfiles, foreman, and so on. Does anybody know a way to configure puppet or nxlog for this issue? Am Freitag, 10. April 2015 13:00:36 UTC+2 schrieb Christopher Wood: > > You can grab the reports from puppetdb, perhaps?

[Puppet Users] Timezone of Foreman-Logs / Puppet-Reports
Hello! I am searching for a solution to change the timezone of the Foreman-Logs in the MySQL Database. The Timezone of MySQL is the right one (UTC +2 / CEST), but I'm not sure if the problem is in foreman or in puppet or both. The Date/Time entry of the logs is timezone UTC.

[Puppet Users] uncomment line in file
Hello!
I want to uncomment a line in a file, for example:
*/root/.bashrc*
# export LS_OPTIONS='--color=auto'
*after change:*
export LS_OPTIONS='--color=auto'
After some searching for a solution, I found the Augeas-Tool and then the
Augeas-Shellvar-Provider.
So I tried it:
shellvar { "export LS_OPTIONS":
ensure => present,
target => "/root/.bashrc",
uncomment => true,
}
But I always get this error, regardless how I paraphrase the ressource
"shellvar".
An alternative solution would be great, too. But with the file_line
ressource, I can't imagine, that there is an very short and easy way.
I hope someone can help me!
Thank You!

Re: [Puppet Users] uncomment line in file
Hi Garrett,
do you mean to add the lines again, with file_line? I thought about this
option, too.
It would be a great way to uncomment this lines, but if it is easier with
file_line, I will do it so.

[Puppet Users] Copy File from one Puppet Agent to another Puppet Agent
Hello!
I have a problem and hope someone of you has a idea how to solve this.
I would like to save a configuration file of nxlog on another Puppet
(Agent) Node.
The problem is, I have the template of nxlog, in which puppet has to write
some facts about the node (hostname, operatingsystem).
This file has not to be stored on the node (which facts about are), but on
the Syslog-Server, where another Puppet Agent is running.
My idea wos now to take the Ressource "file" and put in the path-option the
path to the share of the syslog-system, like so:
file { "$hostname.conf":
ensure => present,
path=> "//server/share/$hostname.conf",
source => template("default_nxlog_debian/default.conf.erb")
}
But this is not working. Is there any way to put in the "Path-Option"
another Server/Share? Or do you have another solution for my Problem?
Thank you!
Hoize

Re: [Puppet Users] Copy File from one Puppet Agent to another Puppet Agent
Am I right, that exported resources are only working with puppetdb?
Can you explain to me, what puppetdb does? I always thought, that puppetdb
is a database-environment like MySQL.
I have Puppet running with Foreman. And instead of the PostgreSQL-Database
i installed MySQL. Can I additionally install Puppetdb beside MySQL?
Thank You!
