  • 1.  Puppet direct integration

    Posted Sep 01, 2016 03:24 PM

    I'm looking for some details on how the integration with Puppet communicates with the Puppet master. I am attempting to set it up using the direct integration, but it is not pulling the environments from the master. I know that the action pack for Puppet uses a combination of REST API and Rake CLI, but the Rake CLI was removed in Puppet Enterprise 2015.2

    If the direct integration is still attempting to use Rake CLI, then that would explain my issue.

     

    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Chris, 

     

    I know nothing about the inner workings of the Puppet integration. But the Chef integration uses the agent to run commands and return data. So you might try looking at the RA agent logs on your Puppet system to see if its obvious what it is doing.

     

    Kind regards,

    Gregg

    Chris,

     

    Please open an issue, so that the puppet integration can be enhanced to support the latest version of Puppet.

     

    Thanks

    I need more detail. If it is running a command on the Puppet server via the CARA agent, what is it running? We'll open a support ticket if we decide to use Puppet (still POC).

    Hi Chris

     

    I did have a look at the action code and the puppet integration is using command actions

    to get the information from puppet or excute certain action s

    some examples are

    puppet master --version
    puppet config ..........

     

    If you need to know this for a specific action please raise a support case and we can look into this .

     

    Regards dirk
