Hey, all.
Somehow, I've stumbled and bumbled my way toward a working mCollective (I
did not use Choria.io). The Linux agents seem to be working well, for the
most part. But, as with a lot of shops, mine is a mixed Linux/Windows
one. I've used instructions from
here:
https://github.com/puppetlabs/marionette-collective/tree/master/ext/windows
to get mCollective installed on my Windows servers. Here's what the
install looks like:
Windows Server 2008R2 and Windows Server 2012R2 boxes
Mcollective installed at C:\marionette-collective
Server.cfg:
topicprefix = /topic/
main_collective = mcollective
collectives = mcollective
#libdir = C:\marionette-collective\lib\mcollective
libdir = C:\marionette-collective\plugins
logfile = C:\marionette-collective\mcollective.log
loglevel = info
daemonize = 1
# Plugins
securityprovider = psk
plugin.psk = unset
connector = activemq
plugin.activemq.pool.size = 1
plugin.activemq.pool.1.host = activemq.mydomain.com
plugin.activemq.pool.1.port = 61613
plugin.activemq.pool.1.user = mcollective
plugin.activemq.pool.1.password = marionette
# Facts
factsource = yaml
plugin.yaml = C:\marionette-collective\etc\facts.yaml
direct_addressing = yes
#plugin.puppet.command = "C:/Program Files/Puppet
Labs/Puppet/bin/puppet.bat" agent
#plugin.puppet.command = puppet agent
The servers respond to "mco ping", and to "mco rpc rpcutil agent_inventory
-I server", the output of which is:
server02

As you might be able to see, I've added some plugins from Marco Mornati.
However, the only one that shows up in the above is agent=>"service".
That's about it.
A look at mcollective.log shows plenty of warning and errors, none of which
I can come up with a fix for, e.g.:
