scheduler problem?

[Antony Mayi]

Hi,

I am trying to cleanup the puppet reports on the master by puppet itself using the tidy type however want to run it once a day not every 30 minutes. I would expect following code does the trick:

schedule { daily:

  period => daily,

}

tidy { "/var/lib/puppet/reports":

  age => "1w",

  recurse => true,

  matches => "*.yaml",

  schedule => daily

}

however it runs still every 30 minutes and I am getting huge report of tidied logs every half an hour.

what am I doing wrong? how can I change the scheduler for this job to be run only once a day?

thanks Antony.

Schedule daily appears to be something that's already defined in
puppet, so I would use a different title.

Do you get a log of the event in your state.yaml? For example:

schedule {
once:
period => daily,
}

exec {
"/bin/date > /tmp/time":
schedule => once,
}

/var/lib/puppet/state/state.yaml:
"Exec[/usr/bin/date > /tmp/time]":
!ruby/sym checked: 2011-01-21 20:23:33.869328 -05:00
!ruby/sym synced: 2011-01-21 20:23:33.870815 -05:00

So in your case, you should have something along the line of:
"Tidy[/var/lib/puppet/reports]":
!ruby/sym checked: 2011-01-21 20:33:17.927550 -05:00

Thanks,

Nan

Hi Nan,

thanks. I have removed the schedule (re)definition but it does still the same - the tidy is called on every run (every 30 minutes). the state.yaml after a typical run has following records:

* puppet log:

Jan 24 10:37:32 puppet puppet-agent[24504]: (/Stage[main]/Puppet::Master/Tidy[/var/lib/puppet/reports]) Tidying File[/var/lib/puppet/reports/puppet/201101171031.yaml]

Jan 24 10:37:32 puppet puppet-agent[24504]: (/Stage[main]/Puppet::Master/Tidy[/var/lib/puppet/reports]) Tidying File[/var/lib/puppet/reports/server1/201101171032.yaml]

Jan 24 10:37:32 puppet puppet-agent[24504]: (/Stage[main]/Puppet::Master/Tidy[/var/lib/puppet/reports]) Tidying File[/var/lib/puppet/reports/server2/201101171035.yaml]

Jan 24 10:37:33 puppet puppet-agent[24504]: (/File[/var/lib/puppet/reports/server1/201101171032.yaml]/ensure) removed

Jan 24 10:37:36 puppet puppet-agent[24504]: (/File[/var/lib/puppet/reports/puppet/201101171031.yaml]/ensure) removed

Jan 24 10:37:36 puppet puppet-agent[24504]: (/File[/var/lib/puppet/reports/server2/201101171035.yaml]/ensure) removed

* state.yaml:

  "Tidy[/var/lib/puppet/reports]": 

    !ruby/sym checked: 2011-01-24 00:49:51.861210 +00:00

  "File[/var/lib/puppet/reports/puppet/201101171031.yaml]": 

    !ruby/sym synced: 2011-01-24 10:37:36.589507 +00:00

    !ruby/sym checked: 2011-01-24 10:37:36.583191 +00:00

  "File[/var/lib/puppet/reports/server1/201101171032.yaml]": 

    !ruby/sym synced: 2011-01-24 10:37:33.482278 +00:00

    !ruby/sym checked: 2011-01-24 10:37:33.476454 +00:00

  "File[/var/lib/puppet/reports/server2/201101171035.yaml]": 

    !ruby/sym synced: 2011-01-24 10:37:36.737558 +00:00

    !ruby/sym checked: 2011-01-24 10:37:36.730387 +00:00

so as I understand it the state.yaml file says the Tidy[/var/lib/puppet/reports] was run at 00:49 so I would expect it won't be called this day again but as the logs show several files are tidied on each run anyway.

what's wrong?

thanks Antony.

Can you try it with a different type, say a sample 'notify' statement?

Tidy appears to have some magic going on at times. I just noticed that
it *appears* to be run before anything else, even in the pre-stage but
that could be a fluke in my setup.

good hint - it does work for notify - eg:

 notify { "test": message => "TEST TEST TEST", schedule => daily }

 tidy { "/var/lib/puppet/reports":

    age => "1w",

    recurse => true,

    matches => "*.yaml",

    schedule => daily

 }

the notify is executed only once but tidy still during each run.

is this a bug or a feature? if a bug, is it fixed in some recent version?

thanks, Antony.

I would say a bug. Check the bug tracker:
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/issues for any open or
closed bugs regarding that problem and if you don't find one: Please
file a bug report.
