Thanks for replies, here is the info. Actually there is not much in configs,
I tried it with minimal manifest and the issue still persists.
manifest:
=====================================================
node default {
$server = "puppetmaster.local"
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# distribute puppetd and auth configs to all managed nodes
file {
'/etc/puppet/puppet.conf': source =>
"puppet://$server/files/puppet.conf";
'/etc/puppet/puppetd.conf': source =>
"puppet://$server/files/puppet.conf";
'/etc/puppet/namespaceauth.conf': source =>
"puppet://$server/files/namespaceauth.conf";
}
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# define default filebucket on puppetmaster server
filebucket { "main": server => $server }
File { backup => 'main' }
}
=====================================================
puppetd.conf (the same as puppet.conf) on target server:
=====================================================
[main]
# Where Puppet stores dynamic and growing data.
# The default value is '/var/puppet'.
vardir = /var/lib/puppet
# The Puppet log directory.
# The default value is '$vardir/log'.
logdir = /var/log/puppet
# Where Puppet PID files are kept.
# The default value is '$vardir/run'.
rundir = /var/run/puppet
# Where SSL certificates are kept.
# The default value is '$confdir/ssl'.
ssldir = $vardir/ssl
[puppetd]
# The file in which puppetd stores a list of the classes
# associated with the retrieved configuratiion. Can be loaded in
# the separate ``puppet`` executable using the ``--loadclasses``
# option.
# The default value is '$confdir/classes.txt'.
classfile = $vardir/classes.txt
# Where puppetd caches the local configuration. An
# extension indicating the cache format is added automatically.
# The default value is '$confdir/localconfig'.
localconfig = $vardir/localconfig
# mster server
server = puppetmaster.local
# interval
runinterval = 900
# should we send reports back to puppetmaster server?
report = true
# should we listen for incoming connections? Allowd hosts are in file
listen = true
# we want all facts to be synced from master
factsync = true
=====================================================
As to the logs, it creates only one log file during first run:
/var/log/puppet/http.log and nothing writes to it since then, so it remains
empty.
Puppetd performs all operations I add to manifest and doesn't report any
error or warning and the only problem is it produces those strange
zombies...
Target OS is Centos, tried versions 3,4 and 5 - the issue is on all of them.
I have few instances of puppet running on Gentoo (installed from portages)
and there is no such problem.
Please let me know if I should provide any additional info.
Thanks
