I have a really strange issue with my Puppet Master.

I can't seem to get it to serve my manifests properly. I have installed manifests in two locations:

  • /etc/puppet/manifests/kungfumaster.mydomain.com.pp
  • /etc/puppet/environments/production/kungfumaster.mydomain.com.pp

Both of which contain something similar to this:

node "kungfumaster.mydomain.com" { 
    notify { "found the one in environments!": }
}

Neither of them run when I connect with my agent. The only one which is actually read appears to be /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp, which does, in fact, run:

Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/Node[default]/Notify[thungs]/message: defined 'message' as 'thungs'

This node is defined like this:

node default { 
    notify { 'thungs': }
}

No matter how I've tried, I haven't been able to get these manifests to work properly, even when specifying a node default in the aforementioned files.

I'm seeing some strange logs emitted from my Puppet Master, but I'm not quite clear as to what they mean or how to solve the problem mentioned in them:

Jul 31 01:50:28 kungfumaster puppet-master[443]: Could not retrieve fact fqdn
Jul 31 01:50:28 kungfumaster puppet-master[443]: Could not retrieve fact ipaddress
Jul 31 01:50:28 kungfumaster puppet-master[443]: TrustedInformation expected a certificate, but none was given.

Configuration files:

Log files:

  • /var/log/syslog
  • Output of puppet apply --onetime --no-daemonize --debug --verbosehere
  • Output of puppet apply --onetime --no-daemonize --debug --verbose --environment productionhere

The Puppet Agent and Puppet Master are both on the exact same host.

The strange message about expecting a certificate is generated here: https://j.mp/1zxG08Q

By default puppet loads only the site.pp manifest (see http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/configuration.html#manifest ). 

The fastest solution is simply to add the node definition to site.pp. If you wish to keep the node definition in a separate file, the docs recommend setting up directory environments (see http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/environments.html ). To enable this in your case you would need to add the environmentpath directive to puppet.conf and move the kungfumaster definition to /etc/puppet/environments/production/manifests/kungfumaster.mydomain.com.pp.
