Issue #1866 has been updated by Rhys Morgan.
This would be highly useful for an implementation we are currently considering where we essentially have tiers of puppetmasters and would like to have a comma delimited list of puppetmasters in the agent config which will be attempted in order, moving up a tier each time. ---------------------------------------- Feature #1866: Support for specification of multiple servers https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/1866 Author: Ian Turner Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: plumbing Target version: Telly Affected Puppet version: 0.24.7 Keywords: load balanced, multiple masters, high availability Branch: At the moment it is only possible to tell puppetd about one puppetmaster: Engaging multiple servers requires load balancing equipment such as that employed by the reporter of Feature #1557. The simplest (for administrators) way to address this issue is to enable round-robin server access within puppetd itself. This is the technique employed extremely effectively in openvpn. I propose two configuration changes: The "server" directive should accept a comma-seperated list of servers, and a new "randomserver" boolean directive indicates how the server list is traversed. Pseudocode to be executed at the start of each puppet run: <pre> # if randomserver and lastserver = NIL # serverlist <- rotateleft(serverlist, rand(length(serverlist)) # nextserver <- NIL # trialcount <- length(serverlist) # loop until nextserver ≠NIL # trialserver <- first(serverlist) # if retrievecatalogok(trialserver) # nextserver <- trialserver # else # server <- rotateleft(server, 1) # trialcount <- trialcount - 1 # if trialcount = 0 # error("no working servers") # lastserver <- nextserver </pre> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
