Description

It would sometimes be useful if the logfile start-up messages which presently read something like:

Sep  2 10:35:58 lee puppetmasterd[2491]: Starting Puppet server version 0.25.0

could be extended to include more detailed version information (ideally, a commit hash).

History

Updated by Lawrence Ludwig over 2 years ago

ideally with —debug enabled in puppetmasterd or puppetd we should grab all of the useful stats to help with testing, debugging or customer support. Some details that should be included:

  • ruby version
  • gems installed and their version
  • facter dump? if not OS and version

Unless running from source, a commit sha isn’t any more helpful than the version/tag.

The gems installed might be a bit more useful to see what features are enabled/disabled, but we could maybe do a support face that dumps out that type of information.
