sorry for the double posting, it took several hours to display my message in
the group (web-interface)
i solved my 'problem', it was simply iptables, that prvented the client to
connect to the puppetmaster.
simple things somtimes take very much time to discover :)

Modules and environments...

2008-08-29T10:20:58Z

Hi All
I'm gradually migrating our Puppet infrastructure to a module based
one, and while working on that I rely heavily on the environments. The
page about modules ([link]
) states that from version 0.23.1 Puppet autoloads modules, but I
can't get that to work, even though I use version 0.24.4.

w00t!
I gotta test this out.
Great work dude!

file serving speed in REST

2008-08-29T08:39:04Z

This is all ridiculously preliminary, but it's late, I'm tired, and I
think this kinda kicks ass.
I've just committed what I think is the (finally!) conversion of file
serving to REST from xmlrpc. I took the time to refactor how
recursion works, and that probably has had a bigger effect on speed

Joel, thank you for your apply.

sometimes memory is heavily used, mainly cached.
not sure if it is the cause.i'll keep watching.

Is your system fairly heavily used?
In the past, I had to restart my puppetmasterd every 4 hours or so or
it would lock up and then disappear.
My puppetmaster runs on a system that also handles lots of concurrent
RRD writes (file io) and lots of concurrent snmp polling (load and
process count).
Since then I've moved puppetmaster and the rrd work to a machine with

Re: [Puppet Users] Noob with probs

Completely remove all traces of puppet and reinstall. Probably some
cruft from older versions is sticking around and messing things up.
Also, use the canonical source [link] not some
third-party.

OK, I'm a total noob to puppet, so please forgive any stupid
mistakes. I'm trying to get a test setup working to evaluate it as a
replacement for radmind. I played with it a bit earlier in the
summer, but got busy with other project, and I'm just now getting back
to it. I had a working setup then, but since I've upgraded to 0.24.5

Re: puppetmasterd disappeared

no, /var/log/message is very clean.
and the HotSaNIC graph of memory usage seems not matching the start/
disappear time of puppetmasterd. ( i suppose the time of the last log
message in /var/log/puppet/puppetmaster.l og is the disappear time )
