Issue #2161 has been updated by luke. Status changed from Unreviewed to Rejected
I agree, and we work pretty hard to make sure errors propagate helpfully. However, I've rejected this ticket because the whole error propagation system has been rewritten in the move to REST, so I *think* you'll get much better errors on the client. Please try the master branch (or 0.25 when it comes out), and reopen this ticket if you're still getting unsatisfactory errors. ---------------------------------------- Feature #2161: Pass puppetmasterd errors to puppetd http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2161 Author: pete Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: Target version: Complexity: Unknown Affected version: 0.24.7 Keywords: Today I was baffled by this error message on a previously working node: err: Could not retrieve catalog: Could not find node '01.web.demo.nym1'; cannot compile The problem was tracked down to a permissions issue; my puppet_node_classifier did not have permissions to read the SQLite database I'm using. The puppetmasterd log file spit this back: Apr 15 16:39:23 newinstance puppetmasterd[7949]: Could not retrieve external node information for 01.web.test: Execution of '/usr/local/etc/puppet/bin/puppet_node_classifier 01.web.test' returned 255: DBI connect( ... I would find it very useful from a human *and* automated perspective to have at least some puppetmasterd errors passed on to puppetd. When putting a web interface in front of pieces of puppet, it would be useful to be able to show such errors in the browser when calling puppetd, instead of having to crawl through syslog. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
