I was just about to move my first Puppet-built box into production, and I'm getting a terribly troublesome error. I'm using an external node classifier and am not using storedconfigs.
We have a more-or-less generic httpd config for all of our boxen - except this one. I'm generating httpd.conf from a template, so in the template I have something like: <% if scope.compiler.classlist.include?("edu_rutgers_css_resnet") then -%> # PUPPET: set due to presence of class 'edu_rutgers_css_resnet' ServerAdmin f...@bar.com # END PUPPET <% else %> # PUPPET: default value ServerAdmin r...@localhost # END PUPPET <% end -%> I also generate /etc/sysconfig/iptables from a template, which includes: <% if scope.compiler.classlist.include?("httpd") then -%> # accept port 80, added by Puppet template with "httpd" class -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT <% else -%> # puppet doesn't see the class 'httpd' defined, NOT opening port 80... <% end -%> It seems that Puppet is "missing" the httpd class. When Puppet runs every half hour, flaps between the if and else values for these two statements, causing it to replace the config files and restart the associated services. I originally thought that this was happening at exactly each cycle, but it seems somewhat intermittent: Jul 28 02:19:56 resnet2 puppetd[24046]: (//iptables/File[/etc/sysconfig/iptables]/content) content changed '{md5}654732a5f76e975e1fef1907ce6c5b46' to '{md5}fffc88c34693d4ee67a22c4190d1e608' Jul 28 02:19:57 resnet2 puppetd[24046]: (//iptables/Service[iptables]) Triggering 'refresh' from 2 dependencies Jul 28 04:20:20 resnet2 puppetd[24046]: (//iptables/File[/etc/sysconfig/iptables]/content) content changed '{md5}fffc88c34693d4ee67a22c4190d1e608' to '{md5}654732a5f76e975e1fef1907ce6c5b46' Jul 28 04:20:20 resnet2 puppetd[24046]: (//iptables/Service[iptables]) Triggering 'refresh' from 2 dependencies Jul 28 06:50:44 resnet2 puppetd[24046]: (//iptables/File[/etc/sysconfig/iptables]/content) content changed '{md5}654732a5f76e975e1fef1907ce6c5b46' to '{md5}fffc88c34693d4ee67a22c4190d1e608' Jul 28 06:50:44 resnet2 puppetd[24046]: (//iptables/Service[iptables]) Triggering 'refresh' from 2 dependencies Jul 28 07:50:56 resnet2 puppetd[24046]: (//iptables/File[/etc/sysconfig/iptables]/content) content changed '{md5}fffc88c34693d4ee67a22c4190d1e608' to '{md5}654732a5f76e975e1fef1907ce6c5b46' Jul 28 07:50:56 resnet2 puppetd[24046]: (//iptables/Service[iptables]) Triggering 'refresh' from 2 dependencies Jul 28 04:20:18 resnet2 puppetd[24046]: (//httpd/File[/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf]/content) content changed '{md5}e20ffe121bc385871c43c1c8d4c83376' to '{md5}d42e551de04a44d8e9121de93795ad33' Jul 28 04:20:19 resnet2 puppetd[24046]: (//httpd/Service[httpd]) Triggering 'refresh' from 1 dependencies Jul 28 06:20:39 resnet2 puppetd[24046]: (//httpd/File[/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf]/content) content changed '{md5}d42e551de04a44d8e9121de93795ad33' to '{md5}e20ffe121bc385871c43c1c8d4c83376' Jul 28 06:20:40 resnet2 puppetd[24046]: (//httpd/Service[httpd]) Triggering 'refresh' from 1 dependencies Jul 28 06:50:45 resnet2 puppetd[24046]: (//httpd/File[/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf]/content) content changed '{md5}e20ffe121bc385871c43c1c8d4c83376' to '{md5}d42e551de04a44d8e9121de93795ad33' Jul 28 06:50:46 resnet2 puppetd[24046]: (//httpd/Service[httpd]) Triggering 'refresh' from 1 dependencies Jul 28 07:50:58 resnet2 puppetd[24046]: (//httpd/File[/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf]/content) content changed '{md5}d42e551de04a44d8e9121de93795ad33' to '{md5}e20ffe121bc385871c43c1c8d4c83376' Jul 28 07:50:58 resnet2 puppetd[24046]: (//httpd/Service[httpd]) Triggering 'refresh' from 1 dependencies Any ideas on why this is happening? I've been running Puppet on a non-critical network for a month now, with storedconfigs, and no major problems. It seemed time to move it over to the production boxes (as the new ones are built) but this seems like a serious issue...
