Issue #19789 has been updated by eric sorenson. Category set to error reporting Status changed from Needs Decision to Accepted Assignee set to Roger Kennedy Keywords set to errors
Sure seems reasonable to trap and append to these errors; you're right Roger that this is the message that bubbles up directly from the system call. Is this something you'd be willing to work up a pull request to address? ---------------------------------------- Feature #19789: Always print the system that is being attempted when an error occurs. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/19789#change-94614 * Author: Gerard Hickey * Status: Accepted * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Roger Kennedy * Category: error reporting * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: * Keywords: errors * Branch: ---------------------------------------- When a failure to connect to a hostname occurs, the hostname attempted should be included in the error output. For example: root@lvs2b1c-705546:/var/lib/puppet# puppet agent -t Info: Creating a new SSL key for lvs2b1c-705546.example.com Error: Could not request certificate: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known Exiting; failed to retrieve certificate and waitforcert is disabled The contents of the current puppet.conf is [main] server = puppet.example.com ca_server = puppet-ca.example.comm [agent] environment = common logdir = /var/log/puppet rundir = /var/run/puppet vardir = /var/lib/puppet ssldir = $vardir/ssl waitforcert = 30 The failure is clearly in the puppet.conf, but without knowing what host is being attempted (and believing that the puppet.conf is correct) a bunch of needless time can be spent trying to fix problems that don't exist (like resolver problems). -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
