recovery from foreman

[mjac...@broadsoft.com]

I am new to puppet.

running puppet 2.7.19

didn't know that you couldn't install foreman and dashboard on the same system/puppet master.
I've uninstalled both of them.

puppet nodes are complaining about not being able to get their catalogs.

puppet.conf has:

snippet:

[main]
    # The Puppet var directory.
    vardir = /var/lib/puppet

    # The Puppet log directory.
    # The default value is '$vardir/log'.
    logdir = /var/log/puppet

    # Where Puppet PID files are kept.
    # The default value is '$vardir/run'.
    rundir = /var/run/puppet

    # Where SSL certificates are kept.
    # The default value is '$confdir/ssl'.
    ssldir = $vardir/ssl

    # Allow services in the 'puppet' group to access key (Foreman + proxy)
    privatekeydir = $ssldir/private_keys { group = service }
    hostprivkey = $privatekeydir/$certname.pem { mode = 640 }

    # Puppet 3.0.x requires this in both [main] and [master] - harmless on agents
    autosign       = $confdir/autosign.conf { mode = 664 }


[master]
    autosign       = $confdir/autosign.conf { mode = 664 }
    reports        = store, http
    external_nodes = /etc/puppet/node.rb
    node_terminus  = exec
    ca             = true
[development]
    modulepath     = /etc/puppet/modules/development:/etc/puppet/modules/common:/usr/share/puppet/modules
[production]
    modulepath     = /etc/puppet/modules/production:/etc/puppet/modules/common:/usr/share/puppet/modules

/etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp
includes:

import "classes/*"
import "roles/*.pp"
import "nodes/*.pp"
import "users/*.pp"

-----------end snippet-------------

and yes /etc/puppet/manifests/nodes does contain node_$agent(fqdn).pp

ls /var/lib/puppet/yaml/facts

shows: $agent_hosts.yaml

in /var/log/messages, I find the following types of errors:

puppet puppet-master[16517]: Could not find node '$agent_hosts(fqdn)';   cannot compile

# note: $agent_hosts(fqdn)  = a list of hosts that should be managed by puppet.  they all look like an fqdn.

my question:  where would the configuration be to tell where these machines are for compiling catalogs?

Forman makes use of an ENC: /etc/puppet/node.rb
You can verify whether this command (with a certname as parameter) will deliver desired results.
(It should show yaml code).

Hi,

I uninstalled foreman.  why would  node.rb be utilized?

Regards,

[johan-OF]

Because it is in your puppet.conf :

external_nodes = /etc/puppet/node.rb

more info about ENC : http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/external_nodes.html

Yes, it was in my puppet.conf file.  That has been removed and now a compile is working.

Thanks!

Hi Again,

Out of curiosity ... How does PuppetEnterprise interface w/ VMware/Vsphere to set the host name in Linux?
