Override default schedule for all resources

[Christian Masopust]

Hi puppet users,

 

we have a daily planned maintenance at 5am on our puppet server which means that during that time

it’s not available for our agents.

 

I’d like to avoid that the agents are trying to connect to the puppetserver during that time.

 

My first idea was to use schedules, but that would mean to define the schedule for each and every resource,
which definitly would be painful J

 

So the next idea was to override the default schedule „puppet“.   Does anyone of you know if that’s possible?

Or do you have other/better ideas how I could handle this?

 

Thanks,

Christian

Hi Christian,

instead of running puppet as daemon, you can run puppet via cron and omit the times where you do maintenance on the puppet server.
Besides this: running puppet via cron will allow you to spread the agent connections and compiler work in a far more efficient way, reducing temporary load on the server.

hth,
Martin
