Hi,
I have a large Hiera file that I want to use for a module that creates accounts on my systems. The module is https://forge.puppetlabs.com/torrancew/account In any case the issue is I get an error Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: execution expired Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run Error: Could not run Puppet configuration client: execution expired It seems there is a timeout caused by the size of the Heira file. Presumably this is due to all of the accounts I have placed in my hiera.yaml file. My question is whether or not it is possible to configure puppet to extend the time for compilation to take these large hiera files into account, or if there are any suggestions on how to improve things to increase the time to compile the yaml file? At the end of the day I do not really need the accounts as much as I just need the usernames on these systems due to the storage system we use. I do not want to have a central user management system as that creates a single point of failure. So that means I could in fact just have puppet manage a static file that adds to the /etc/passwd file. However I would prefer to maintain consistency Any suggestions on how best to approach this in puppet is of course appreciated. :) Terrence -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
