MCollective Puppet Agent Not Working?

[Stella]

Hi all,

I installed and configured MCollective 2.5.3 yesterday. Also I have installed several agent plugin:

yum install mcollective-filemgr-agent
yum install mcollective-nettest-agent
yum install mcollective-package-agent
yum install mcollective-service-agent
yum install mcollective-puppet-agent

Now I can run command to stop remote service:

mco rpc service stop service=ntpd

However, it seems I can't get puppet to work with MCollective. 
When I run "mco puppet", it displays:

Known commands:
   completion       facts                find               
   help                 inventory            ping               
   plugin               rpc                                     

Puppet is not listed as "Known commands". Why? Do I miss anything?

Help please! Last step to the victory! Thanks a lot!

Things to check:

Have you installed the mcollective-puppet-agent package on the server and restarted mcollective there?

Have you installed mcollective-puppet-client on the client?

If you check your package list, some (not all) of the plugins have a separate -client package which you need for your command line mco invocations to work.

Hi Chris,

Yes, I have installed the mcollective-puppet-agent package on the server and restarted mcollective there (I learned the lesson yesterday that you need to restart).

But I have NOT installed mcollective-puppet-client on the client. I am not aware of it at all.

After I installed mcollective-puppet-client on the client, "mco puppet" works!

Thank you very much, Chris MCollecctive (that's how I remember you, haha!)

Thank you Johan! For now, I just need to evaluate if we need to proceed with MCollective. If yes, I will take a look at this book. Thank you for the recommendation. Have a good weekend.
