Warning: Local environment: "production" doesn't match server specified node environment

[Matt Zagrabelny]

Greetings,

I've searched a bit and found some hits for the subject, but nothing that helps.

I'm using an ENC to drive the environment of my nodes.

I don't have "production" defined anywhere in my puppet.conf:

# grep production /etc/puppet/puppet.conf || echo "not there"
not there

and it is not defined on my command-line run:

puppet agent -t --server puppet-3-7 --debug

but I still get a warning about the local environment:

Warning: Local environment: "production" doesn't match server
specified node environment "apt", switching agent to "apt".

Where else (besides the /etc/puppet/puppet.conf and the command-line
option --environment) do I look for the local environment being set?

Thanks!

Hi Matt.
AFAIK production is the default environment assigned to all the nodes.

try
puppet config print environment

Sure.

Yep, production:

# puppet config print environment
production

So how do I get the warning to go away?

Warning: Local environment: "production" doesn't match server
specified node environment "apt", switching agent to "apt".

Any ideas?

Hi Matt,

an ENC can set an environment for a node.
In case that a node does not specify an environment it will make use of environment production.
You can specify node environment on the node in puppet.conf in agent section:

[agent]
environment = apt

Best,
Martin

Yep. I'm using an ENC to set the environment to 'apt'.

Sure. I'd like to avoid setting any environment in the puppet.conf and
only use the ENC *and* not get the warning.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the help!

If you want the warning to go away, you could set the value in puppet.conf to match the ENC setting via something like the below (using puppetlabs/inifile module).

You'll still get the warning on the first run, but it should go away on subsequent ones (unless the ENC-set environment changes)

ini_setting { "puppet_environment":

  ensure  => present,
  path    => '/etc/puppet/puppet.conf',
  section => 'agent',
  setting => 'environment',
  value   => $::environment,
}
