Hey, all. Somehow, I've stumbled and bumbled my way toward a working mCollective (I did not use Choria.io). The Linux agents seem to be working well, for the most part. But, as with a lot of shops, mine is a mixed Linux/Windows one. I've used instructions from here: https://github.com/puppetlabs/marionette-collective/tree/master/ext/windows to get mCollective installed on my Windows servers. Here's what the install looks like:
Windows Server 2008R2 and Windows Server 2012R2 boxes Mcollective installed at C:\marionette-collective Server.cfg: topicprefix = /topic/ main_collective = mcollective collectives = mcollective #libdir = C:\marionette-collective\lib\mcollective libdir = C:\marionette-collective\plugins logfile = C:\marionette-collective\mcollective.log loglevel = info daemonize = 1 # Plugins securityprovider = psk plugin.psk = unset connector = activemq plugin.activemq.pool.size = 1 plugin.activemq.pool.1.host = activemq.mydomain.com plugin.activemq.pool.1.port = 61613 plugin.activemq.pool.1.user = mcollective plugin.activemq.pool.1.password = marionette # Facts factsource = yaml plugin.yaml = C:\marionette-collective\etc\facts.yaml direct_addressing = yes #plugin.puppet.command = "C:/Program Files/Puppet Labs/Puppet/bin/puppet.bat" agent #plugin.puppet.command = puppet agent The servers respond to "mco ping", and to "mco rpc rpcutil agent_inventory -I server", the output of which is: server02 Agents: [{:agent=>"discovery", :license=>"Apache License, Version 2", :timeout=>5, :description=>"MCollective Discovery Agent", :name=>"Discovery Agent", :url=>"https://docs.puppetlabs.com/mcollective/", :version=>"2.11.4", :author=>"R.I.Pienaar <r...@devco.net>"}, {:agent=>"rpcutil", :license=>"Apache License, Version 2.0", :timeout=>10, :description=> "General helpful actions that expose stats and internals to SimpleRPC clients", :name=>"rpcutil", :url=>"https://docs.puppetlabs.com/mcollective/", :version=>"1.0", :author=>"R.I.Pienaar <r...@devco.net>"}, {:agent=>"service", :license=>"GPLv3", :timeout=>10, :description=>"Windows Services Controller", :name=>"Windows Service", :url=>"", :version=>"1.0", :author=>"Marco Mornati"}] As you might be able to see, I've added some plugins from Marco Mornati. However, the only one that shows up in the above is agent=>"service". That's about it. A look at mcollective.log shows plenty of warning and errors, none of which I can come up with a fix for, e.g.: [2017-11-06T09:22:13.439518 #22040] INFO -- : windows_daemon.rb:20:in `service_stop' Windows service stopping I, [2017-11-06T09:22:13.440518 #22040] INFO -- : activemq.rb:106:in `on_disconnect' Disconnected from stomp://mcollect...@automation01.netatlantic.com:61613 W, [2017-11-06T09:22:13.745536 #22040] WARN -- : runner.rb:206:in `rescue in block in receiver_thread' Failed to handle message: undefined method `body' for nil:NilClass - NoMethodError W, [2017-11-06T09:22:13.745536 #22040] WARN -- : runner.rb:207:in `rescue in block in receiver_thread' C:/marionette-collective/plugins/mcollective/connector/activemq.rb:246:in `receive' C:/marionette-collective/lib/mcollective/runner.rb:225:in `receive' C:/marionette-collective/lib/mcollective/runner.rb:189:in `block in receiver_thread' C:/marionette-collective/lib/mcollective/runner.rb:187:in `loop' C:/marionette-collective/lib/mcollective/runner.rb:187:in `receiver_thread' C:/marionette-collective/lib/mcollective/runner.rb:142:in `block in start_receiver_thread' I, [2017-11-06T09:22:15.300625 #16988] INFO -- : config.rb:167:in `loadconfig' The Marionette Collective version 2.8.1 started by C:/marionette-collective/bin/mcollectived using config file C:\marionette-collective\etc\server.cfg I, [2017-11-06T09:22:15.300625 #16988] INFO -- : mcollectived:64:in `<main>' The Marionette Collective 2.8.1 started logging at info level W, [2017-11-06T09:22:21.315969 #16988] WARN -- : runner.rb:64:in `run' The #run method has been deprecated.
