Hello and happy new year @all ;) I have discovered recently the presence of the service "pxp-agent" after the installation of the AIO package "puppet-agent". Personally, in the puppet client side, I'm using the puppet-agent to contact the open source puppetserver (so it's puppet 4, and personally I absolutely don't know PE) and the mcollective server (which contacts a middleware). That's all.
1. Is it possible for me to disable the pxp-agent service (so that the service doesn't start on boot) in my servers without problem? Or is the "pxp-agent" service necessary in my case? I have made an attempt in one server and apparently there no problem, the service seems to be completely useless in my case. Am I wrong? Furthermore, after the installation of puppet-agent, I don't see a listening port for the service "pxp-agent". 2. If I understand well, pxp-agent seems to be something like mcollective. Does it mean that the mcollective project will be abandoned and replaced one day by the pxp-agent service? It will be curious because mcollective is already included in the AIO package puppet-agent. So maybe pxp-agent and mcollective will coexist together but in this case I don't really see the difference between these tools (as regards the purpose of these tools). Thanks for your help.
