Decision Tree: Agent Not Reporting in Console on Master

• Verify the server setting in puppet.conf on the Agent is set to the Master (or the Load Balancer of the Master).

• Verify that the Puppet Agent service is running on the Agent.

  • If it not running, review the Application and System logs.
    • If you find a correlated "Puppet Agent service entered the stopped state" event ...
      • A process or a user explicitly stopped the service.
        • Look for the process or user that stopped the service.

• If you find a correlated "Puppet Agent service terminated unexpectedly" event ...

# The Puppet Enterprise High Availability documentation states:
#
#   Run the forget command whenever a replica node is destroyed, 
#   even if you plan to replace it with a replica with the same name.
#
# Some users prefer to forget and reuse (instead of destroy and replace) a replica.
# As an alternative, when `/opt/puppetlabs/bin/puppet-enterprise-uninstaller` isn't available,
# this script uninstalls Puppet Enterprise on the Replica.
