Re: [Puppet Users] Problem with dashboard using live report aggregation
I am having all the problems that the following two threads reported. Like tomholl reported, I was finally able to get reporting to work by copying the puppet_dashboard.rb file into the directory site_ruby/1.8/puppet/reports And when I had previously attempted to specify libdir to be a colon separated path, puppetmasterd died/crashed. I am running puppet version 25.5 on OpenBSD (4.6) (Yes, I built new packages from the tip of OpenBSD port tree), and dashboard 1.0.0 I would definitely appreciate any advice as to what I am doing wrong….

I was able to get it working by copying the puppet_dashboard.rb into / usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/reports Setting the $libdir in puppet.conf seemed to work but I still kept getting No report named 'puppet_dashboard' errors after each successful catalog compile. The reason I think the $libdir was getting set is that the output of 'puppetd --configprint libdir' and 'puppetmasterd --configprint libdir' is /opt/puppetdashboard/lib/puppet (where I put my test install) Since I kept getting errors about not finding the report I ran 'puppetmasterd --configprint reports' and got an output of store. Once I found where the store file was and copied the puppet_dashboard.rb file into that location (/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/ 1.8/puppet/reports) everything worked. So what am I missing? Why did I have to copy the report file over to / usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/reports if my $libdir was set properly? On Jun 16, 2010, at 5:02 AM, Jon Choate wrote: I am seeing similar issues.

Re: [Puppet Users] Problem with dashboard using live report aggregation
I'm already running with pluginsync=true, so I just stuck puppet_dashboard.rb into one of my modules: find . -name puppet_dashboard.rb -print ./modules/puppet/lib/puppet/reports/puppet_dashboard.rb And pluginsync does its magic. I don't touch libpath or anything like that. I'm not 100% clear if I need the dashboard script on the nodes (I don't think so...), puppetmasters, or what, but this worked for me when I was fighting through the same problem so I said why question it; then the deployment of the file is in puppet so if I build a new puppetmaster it gets pushed out like it should, automagically. I do puppet my masters though. If you didn't, this trick probably won't work for you. You can always puppet them with --noop -- you'll still do pluginsync in non--noop mode and only actually apply --noop to the puppet configuration itself.
