how to trigger puppet run on agents remotely

[Nishant Jain]

Hello Everybody,

                          I am looking for a way to trigger puppet rum remotely. so that i don't need to login into individual nodes and perform the puppet agent --test from there.

Is there any alternative to puppet kick in puppet 3.0, since its being deprecated in telly.

Also , can anybody tell how to configure foreman 1 to trigger puppet run from the gui in puppet 3.0

I have puppet 3.0 installed on RHEL 6.

Thanks,

Nishant

MCollective will do this nicely : http://puppetlabs.com/mcollective/introduction/

My 50c: since mcollective is still fuzzy for me, i ended up using pssh
(with ssh keys, of course).
Just pssh -h hostlist -i "puppet agent --test"

It's actually even easier than that.

puppet kick is what you want.

It does require the agent to start with listen turned on and your firewall setup to allow tcp port 8139.

You can even kick multiple nodes at once.

puppet help kick gives you all the docs on it.

Ahh yeah that's right. Sorry. I have a vague memory of noticing that in the list of things that changed in 3.

I haven't switched to 3 yet as I haven't had the time to test my modules with it.

 how can i use pssh to ssh into three machines with different private keys and execute a command.

 if you could guide me on how to use private (.pem) files to do so, it will be helpful.

I've met a number of people who are firing puppet runs with Ansible and Salt.

Also, depending on your number of nodes and catalog size, you might simply lower the interval between Puppet runs. I've met people who are as low as 5 or 10 minutes between runs.

Mcollective is the right way to trigger puppet run.
