#1741 Monitor /var/lib/puppet//state/puppetdlock
Closed: Fixed None Opened 14 years ago by smooge.

= phenomenon =

Currently the systems sometimes get into a stale state with puppet either through intentional locks or bad puppet runs. Put into a monitoring so that email will go out if the lock is older than 12 hours, a page after 24 hours.

= recommendation =


At the first step we created a test to check if the puppetdlock file exists on a box.

ggruener walked me through the proper creating of a rule and we have one that is supposed to alert when it is over 12 hours in length. Still testing out some issues but seems to work.
