puppet master stopped loading facts since puppetdb installation

[cko]

hey,

so i just installed puppetdb on a dedicated server (with pgsql).

I noticed that the puppet master server doesn't load any facts.

root@puppetmaster:~$ puppet agent -t
Info: Retrieving plugin
Info: Caching catalog for puppetmaster.local.domain
Info: 'replace catalog' command for puppetmaster.local.domain submitted to PuppetDB with UUID 87de0ebc-1543-4b8a-8434-ca9220238fda
Info: Applying configuration version '1387297065'
Notice: Finished catalog run in 20.88 seconds

Is this intended? Or did i miss something while installing and connecting puppetDB?

What do you mean "doesn't load any facts"? What is the problem you're seeing?

root@puppetmaster:~$ puppet agent -t

Every node (except for the master) does something like this when i run "puppet agent -t":

The puppet master however doesn't.

An example on how this affects the functionality:

I use a template that manages the /etc/motd file.
It contains the fact "kernelrelease". Meaning after i update the kernel on the master, this information is supposed to be updated. (I'm still talking about the master server, every other nodes works as expected!)
But since the master doesn't load facts on a run, the motd file doesn't get updated.

Sounds like there could be something wrong with your routes.yaml file. Does it look like this example? http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppetdb/latest/connect_puppet_master.html#edit-routesyaml

Yes, ist looks exactly like this.

cat /etc/puppet/routes.yaml
---
master:
  facts:
    terminus: puppetdb
    cache: yaml

I'm still having these issues. 

Here is some output that might help:

Any ideas?

[Ryan Senior]

Can you post your puppet.conf? Should be in /etc/puppet, also the versions of puppet/puppetdb/facter packages?

If you want to drop into freenode #puppet IRC channel, we can troubleshoot this more in real time. I'm rsenior there.

The /etc/puppet/puppet.conf looks like this:

[main]

   logdir = /var/log/puppet

   rundir = /var/run/puppet

   ssldir = $vardir/ssl

   pluginsync = true

   storeconfigs = true

   storeconfigs_backend = puppetdb

[live]

   modulepath = /etc/puppet//modules/live

   manifest = /etc/puppet/manifests/live/site.pp

[test]

   modulepath = /etc/puppet/modules/test

   manifest = /etc/puppet/manifests/test/site.pp

[dev]

   modulepath = /etc/puppet/modules/dev

   manifest = /etc/puppet/manifests/dev/site.pp

[sandbox]

   modulepath = /etc/puppet/modules/sandbox

   manifest = /etc/puppet/manifests/sandbox/site.pp

[agent]

   environment = live

   classfile = $vardir/classes.txt

   localconfig = $vardir/localconfig

   report = true

   runinterval = 1800

   archive_files = true

[master]

   reports = http, puppetdb

   certname = puppet.local.domain

   dns_alt_names = puppet,puppet.local.domain

   ssl_client_header = SSL_CLIENT_S_DN

   ssl_client_verify_header = SSL_CLIENT_VERIFY

puppetversion: 3.4.3

facterversion: 1.7.5

puppetdb: 1.6.2

Another Error i just noticed on my puppet master (maybe this is connected):

$ puppet resource package puppet

Error: Could not run: undefined method `prune_parameters' for nil:NilClass

(I'm cko in #puppet)

[Ryan Senior]

I think the problem is the following two lines:

storeconfigs = true

storeconfigs_backend = puppetdb

Those need to be in the [master] section. When it's in [main], it applies both the agent and the master on that box. You only want that to apply to the master.

This was indeed the problem.

Thank you, Ryan!

I'm not knocking on the gentleman with this issue, but I would like to helpfully recommend installing puppetdb via Puppet Labs' free puppetdb module. It takes care of such things for you, just my $.02.
