Reg : Pushing files from Puppet Master to Agent node

[krishna bhaskara rao]

Hi,

I have installed puppetmaster in ubuntu machine and i have installed puppet in all my clients using apt-get. I have joined all my puppet clients with puppet master. Is it possible to copy a file to all these puppet clients from puppet master instead of going into agent and issue the command to pull?

Please any one can response as early as possible.

With Regards,

Krishna Bhaskar.

No. The master does not actively push stuff to the agents. However, you also don't need to "go into agent and issue the command to pull". The agent runs as a daemon and queries the master every 30 minutes, so all you need to do is to provide a manifest containing a "file" resource which puts your file in place.

For example, a simple approach to change the agents puppet.conf could look like this:

/etc/puppet/modules/puppetconf/manifests/init.pp

class puppetconf {

  service { 'PuppetAgent':
    name => 'puppet',
    ensure => 'running',
    enable => 'true',
    subscribe => File['puppet.conf'],
  }

  file { 'puppet.conf':
    path => '/etc/puppet/puppet.conf',
    ensure => file,
    source => 'puppet:///modules/puppetconf/puppet.conf',
  }
}

You would then put the puppet.conf file that should be copied to your agents into /etc/puppet/modules/puppetconf/files.

HTH...

In fact puppetmaster cannot force a push, but mcollective can force a puppet run. And that with a file resource would make the job.

Hi,

Can I use Mcollective with puppet open source ?

[Jose Luis Ledesma]

Yes. I recommend the puppetlabs/mcollective module to make the configuration easier.

Hi,

I am new to puppet. I am using Puppet open source version. I could not find how to configure MCollective with Puppet open source.

If you have any documentation for this configuration, Please share me.

With Regards,

Krishna.
