Recently the servers hosting our puppet server went down.

After redeploying the containers there seems to be an SSL issue.

I removed puppetdb as a node and had it check back in and the SSL process went fine. But PuppetDB still hasn't been recording data from the check-ins.

I also looked at the ca file on PuppetDb to check if it was expired:

openssl x509 -enddate -noout -in /etc/puppetlabs/puppetdb/ssl/ca

output notAfter=Jun 25 20:16:09 2022 GMT.

Similar output on puppet server ca:

openssl x509 -enddate -noout -in /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/ssl/ca/ca_crt.pem

  • maybe this helps: stackoverflow.com/questions/3670503/… check if the dates inside the containers are OK. check if the correct keystore and therefor the correct key is actually used, and not some older one you might have created previously which did actually run out. this looks like either a time issue, or possibly even a wrong used keystore, though i have no further info on the details.

  • The client truststore seems to be missing the needed certificate to handshake. You can test manually using these instructions - confluence.atlassian.com/kb/…

The first thing I'd check is that you have time synchronized on all your servers via ntp/chrony since the stack trace stated: "timestamp check failed".

It also might be helpful to see what openssl s_client returns about errors when trying to make a connection:

openssl s_client -connect YOUR-PUPPET-DB-HOST:8081
