Install puppetDB on already deployed environment

[Vikas Kumar]

Hello everyone,

I have a puppetmaster v3.6.2-1 installed on Ubuntu 14.04 x86_64 server. I am using passenger (apache2) instead of Webrick.

root@puppet:~# /etc/init.d/puppetmaster status
 * master is not running
root@puppet:~#
root@puppet:~# /etc/init.d/apache2 status
 * apache2 is running
root@puppet:~#

I am trying to install puppetdb via a module, but after installing the module I ran 'puppet agent -t' command and encountered below errors. 

root@puppet:~# puppet agent -t
Info: Retrieving pluginfacts
Info: Retrieving plugin
...

I checked that port 8081 is not being used by any daemon.

root@puppet:~# netstat -an | grep 8081
root@puppet:~# telnet 192.168.1.99 8081
Trying 192.168.1.99...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
root@puppet:~#

Please help me out to troubleshoot this.

Don't cancel it. It will eventually timeout or start working.

You may want to start puppetdb manually if it times-out; 'service puppetdb start'

Also, I do not have puppetdb binary since I have used puppetdb module.

root@puppet:~# ls -lrth /etc/init.d/puppet*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1.7K Jun 10 07:07 /etc/init.d/puppetqd
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3.8K Jun 10 07:07 /etc/init.d/puppetmaster
root@puppet:~#

Any other suggestions to tackle this ?

Hi

Try removing (make a backup first just in case)
/etc/puppet/routes.yaml and /etc/puppet/puppetdb.conf and try again.

I had a similar problem time ago and starting from scratch fixed it

Hi Juan,

Thanks for your help but I don't have these files. May be because I am using modules instead of binaries.

Hi,

I am using puppetlabs-puppetdb module too.
Can you install puppetdb manually using your os package tool (apt/yum)?

[Vikas Kumar]

Hi Juan,

Thanks a ton, it did the magic. I was under an impression that puppetdb forge module will install puppetdb too.

Now, puppet agent --test command is working fine. But, I need to ensure that is working as desired. I am new to puppetdb, will google out something or write a small class to confirm it is working fine. 

Regards,

Vikas

[Juan Sierra Pons]

Hi,

Check again your config as puppetlabs-puppetdb should install the
binary and then configure it.

Best Regards

[Vikas Kumar]

I just installed the puppetdbquery module from forge, and ran the below commands. I think I am good :)

root@puppet:~# puppet query nodes '(architecture=amd64)'

box30.test.com

puppet.test.com

root@puppet:~#

root@puppet:~# curl -s 'http://puppet.test.com:8080/v3/nodes' | jq -r '.[].name'

box30.test.com

puppet.test.com

root@puppet:~#

Did you setup route.yml ?
