what's

hostname -f

say?

@Lumiere only th hostname

I would do a

puppet config set certname 'full.qualified.domain.name'

and use whatever mechanisms in your system to ensure the hostname matches

@Lumiere That worked, thank you so much! How could that have gotten screwed up? Or at least is it in a file somewhere I'd be able to change it?

it's usually set at install, what distro / os is it?

Ubuntu 20 (client)

message has been deleted

hostnamectl should let you change it

bottom line is, fqdn is not configured properly

you will likely want to reboot to ensure everything picks up the change

hostname -A

gave the fqdn and the hostname...

so, hostname -f is what gets run

ah

but hostnamectl is the systemd way to manage the hostname

it should change it everywhere but /etc/hosts

Well now I know what the deal is. Thank you @Lumiere @vchepkov @ragnarkon I really appreciate it!

I prefer to set it explicitly, as @Lumiere suggested, on AWS instances, for example, it's just some random name, so I create one more meaningful based on tags. frankly, it's just an ID, doesn't have to be DNS

and my use case is different, because all my boxes are in a DC of mine, so making their cert name match the hostname makes it easier to track them in puppet as a cmdb

one can have a

domainname

fact :)

ofc, I have a nice naming standard though

so I use it 😄

That works well, when VMs are 'pets', not 'cattle' 🙂

yea well, when my vms become cattle... my puppet servers are going to be cattle too 😄

My AWS pets have A and PTR records in private R53 zones ... 😆

Also works for single account, if your org has hundreds, not so much

Never mind. v4 throws the traceback without expressly blocking ec2_userdata

what would be the syntax to avoid duplicated exported resources?

Server Error: A duplicate resource was found while collecting exported resources, with the type and title Sensu_check[check-consul-production-prod-postgres]

Duplicate resources come from different servers, when the name is the same. I thought the second would have overwritten the first.

you need construct your resource using unique names, certname
