[chef] Re: problem with search

[Steve Jang < >]

OK... it seems that this has to do with the amount of node data being uploaded to chef server.

I had a machine that was integrated to AD, and it was uploading about 500K node data.

When I disabled passwd ohai plug in, by putting the following line to /etc/chef/client.rb:

Ohai::Config[:disabled_plugins] = ["passwd"]

the node now seems to appear in my search result.

Is there some node data limit for search to work? If there is, is it configurable?

Thanks,

-Steve

Hi, Folks,

I have always had bad luck with knife search... it seems to omit some nodes that should be listed. (I am running chef server 0.10.4)

Here I can see my apps1.auto.hulu.com node using knife command:

$ knife node show apps1.auto.hulu.com

Node Name:   apps1.auto.hulu.com

Environment: automation

FQDN:        apps1.auto.hulu.com

IP:          10.16.254.127

Run List:    role[rjs-server]

Roles:       hulu-common, rjs-server

Recipes:     hulu-accounts, hulu-common, runit, rjs-server

Platform:    centos 5.7

As you can see it has role[rjs-server] in the run list. But if I search for it as follows, it does not return it.

$ knife search node "role:rjs-server"

1 items found

Node Name:   apps2.auto.hulu.com

Environment: automation

FQDN:        

IP:          

Run List:    role[rjs-server]

Roles:       

Recipes:     

Platform:     

Am I missing something basic here?

Thanks,
