Are you having the problem after running 'puppet agent --test' a few times or it just happens without any manual run ?
I was having the same problem some days ago, in my case because I was running 'puppet agent --test', more specifically the --show_diff that is used in --test was automatically generating a lot of output and causing the puppet dashboard workers to fail and increase the processing queue. Look at /usr/share/puppet-dashboard/log/delayed_job.log (or whatever your dashboard location is) and check what error it is giving. You can clean the queue manually without reinstalling everything: service puppet-dashboard-workers stop cd /usr/share/puppet-dashboard rm -f spool/* rake jobs:clear RAILS_ENV=production service puppet-dashboard-workers start Regards, Felipe On Saturday, February 9, 2013 7:11:04 PM UTC-8, Jagga Soorma wrote: > > Anyone out there run into this issue before or have any idea about how to > troubleshoot such a problem?
