Puppet Error Could not request certificate getaddrinfo Temporary failure in name resolution

Question

 I was trying to install a package nagios-common using a puppet manifest.

class pckd {
  package {'nagios-common':
    ensure => present,
  }
}

node default {
  include pckd
}

On running puppet apply on the master node, successfully installed the package. I have applied puppet agent -t on the agent nodes and was unable to install the package on the agent node.

Below is the /var/log.

labcluster01node01 puppet-agent[99575]: Could not request certificate: getaddrinfo: Temporary failure in name resolution
labcluster01node01 nagios: Auto-save of retention data completed successfully.
labcluster01node01 puppet-agent[99575]: Could not request certificate: getaddrinfo: Temporary failure in name resolution

Answer 1

You are getting this error because your master and agent are having some issues with communication, try pinging master from slave and see.

It should work fine when you add FQDN of master to the \etc\hosts file of agent.

Hope this helps!
