Something along those lines is probably your best option. That is, construct a catalog of all machines of potential interest, then remove those that have retreived a catalog from the puppetmaster within a chosen time. That will pick up systems that have Puppet installed but not running along with those that do not have it installed at all, but I infer that's what you want. I do not know a reliable way to externally probe a system on demand to determine whether Puppet is running on it. Although the Puppet agent can be configured to listen for connections, you cannot rely on it being so configured. You can perhaps request a list of installed packages from each system, but Puppet being installed is not the same thing as Puppet running. Any way around, you always need a way to catalog all the systems of interest. John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
