puppet master monitoring 11 weeks 3 hours ago

I am trying to setup puppet's dashboard to be monitor the status of my servers. With the below shown configurations, my clients (or nodes) only show up as Unreported and says Has not reported in "Last report".

However the node can communicate with the server and pull changes as it's supposed to, but nothing appears in the dash.

Cannot use puppet on mac osx 10.8, i can find it in /usr/bin/lib but display that when i launch it :

/usr/bin/puppet:3:in `require': no such file to load -- puppet/util/command_line (LoadError) from /usr/bin/puppet:3

Any idea ?

Edit : I want to use puppet in Vagrant VM to do provisioning is it the good way ?

When attempting to use modules copied into the Puppet modules directory, my puppet client returns ' Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: can't convert nil in String' errors when connecting to the Puppet master server.

[root@puppetmaster modules]# rpm -qa *puppet* puppet-2.7.18-1.el6.noarch puppet-server-2.7.18-1.el6.noarch

Everything seems to work ok.

I have a server pmaster-dev that is a puppet client (its master is pmaster). The server pmaster-dev acts as a puppet master itself for several clients.

When pmaster-dev checks in with pmaster it is caching its facts to a local sqlite3 database file /var/lib/puppet/state/clientconfigs.sqlite. On every subsequent check-in pmaster-dev never updates this local cache.

I am attempting to use Chocolatey ( http://chocolatey.org ) as a package provider for Puppet, but I continually get this error when running the Puppet agent on my Win 7 box.

So I am new to puppet and have been reading through a user guide to get better acquainted with he program. As a result I have been able to get some programs to install (i.e.
