Issue #13914 has been updated by Kelsey Hightower.
Brain, Can you check if the log messages are going into /var/log/messages? ---------------------------------------- Bug #13914: Puppet master not logging to file https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13914#change-60703 Author: Brian Pitts Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.7.12 Keywords: Branch: I'm running puppet 2.7.12 on CentOS 5.8. I'm having trouble getting the puppet master to log to a file. The same configuration is working fine for the puppet agent. A single line is written to the master's log file when it starts. When logging to syslog or the console, I get lots of output each time an agent talks to the master. When logging to a file, I get nothing. The master does not even appear to have the log file open. Below is my configuration and some shell output demonstrating the problem. `$ egrep -v '#|^$' puppet.conf` <pre> [main] vardir = /var/lib/puppet logdir = /var/log/puppet rundir = /var/run/puppet ssldir = $vardir/ssl pluginsync = true factpath = $vardir/lib/facter autoflush = true [agent] server = redacted classfile = $vardir/classes.txt localconfig = $vardir/localconfig listen = false [master] modulepath = redacted storeconfigs = true dbadapter = sqlite3 dblocation = $vardir/storeconfigs.sqlite certname = redacted </pre> `$ egrep -v '#|^$' /etc/sysconfig/puppet` <pre> PUPPET_LOG=/var/log/puppet/agent.log PUPPET_EXTRA_OPTS=--verbose </pre> `$ egrep -v '#|^$' /etc/sysconfig/puppetmaster` <pre> PUPPETMASTER_LOG=/var/log/puppet/master.log PUPPETMASTER_EXTRA_OPTS=--verbose </pre> `$ ps -wwfp $(pgrep -fd, puppet)` <pre> UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD root 12566 1 6 18:33 ? 00:00:53 /usr/bin/ruby /usr/sbin/puppetd --logdest=/var/log/puppet/agent.log --verbose puppet 15612 1 5 18:43 ? 00:00:15 /usr/bin/ruby /usr/sbin/puppetmasterd --logdest /var/log/puppet/master.log --verbose </pre> `$ sudo pkill -SIGUSR1 puppetd` `$ sudo ls -lt /var/log/puppet/` <pre> total 25136 -rw-rw---- 1 puppet puppet 25661723 Apr 6 18:51 masterhttp.log -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21638 Apr 6 18:51 agent.log -rw------- 1 puppet puppet 3889 Apr 6 18:44 rails.log -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 68 Apr 6 18:43 master.log -rw-r----- 1 root root 4850 Apr 4 17:02 http.log </pre> `$ sudo cat /var/log/puppet/master.log` <pre> Fri Apr 06 18:43:43 -0400 2012 Puppet (notice): Reopening log files </pre> `$ sudo tail -n 1 /var/log/puppet/agent.log` <pre> Fri Apr 06 18:51:47 -0400 2012 Puppet (notice): Finished catalog run in 11.73 seconds </pre> `$ sudo fuser -s /var/log/puppet/agent.log; echo $?` <pre>0</pre> `$ sudo fuser -s /var/log/puppet/master.log; echo $?` <pre>1</pre> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
