I''ve been using Puppet now for a month or so and I''ve come to a problem that may warrant an additional Puppet metaparameter. I''m advocating the addition of a metaparameter called "preaction" (or something like that), which will perform some arbitrary action before the resource is modified. There may be a way to do this within Puppet already (with some carefully crafted dependencies, auxiliary files,...

Hi i''m trying to pass Resources (single or in an array) to a resource, so I can pass this to a notify or require. However I have some problems, when no resource should be passed. Maybe somebody can help me? thanks define gentoo::etcconfd ( $require = '''', $notify = '''' ){ file { "/etc/conf.d/${name}": owner =>

...;' and all the nodes will have that class included by default, but I want a specific node to have that class excluded or disabled. How do I do that? I use hiera to include classes, for example my common.yaml looks like: --- classes: - foo I was told on #puppet IRC channel that there is a metaparameter called ''noop'' which can be passed to already created class, but what hiera does is just a simple alternative to ''include foo'', so I cannot really pass any metaparameters to my classes when including them with hiera. What other alternatives do I have? Thanks,...

http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7612 The exported resources syntax: @@user { luke: ensure => present } Is concise and powerful, but very difficult to read. We should consider word-based syntax, e.g.: export @user { luke: ensure => present } And taking into account #7605, perhaps: export virtual user { luke: ensure => present } Please comment on the ticket or reply

I''m trying to create a virtual host file only if the document root directory exists. It doesn''t look like puppet is seeing the require metaparameter. Currently, the file is being created whether or not the document root directory exists. What is the best way to currently do this? I''m trying to create a file called site1.conf in /apps/apache/conf.d only if /var/www/html/site1 directory exists. file { "/apps/apache/conf.d/site1....

Hi, I''m very new to puppet but am looking to implement it in our environment. One thing I''m struggling with is that I would like Puppet to be the only tool that makes changes to our servers, but as we run Windows for most of our systems, we need to run the continuous onslaught of Windows updates as well as normal configuration changes and software installation / updates. Are

Hi all, The docs say: "Note that all defined types support automatically all metaparameters." But when I try (with Puppet 0.24.5 on Centos 5.2, courtesy of the dlutter packages) the following: define unzip (...) { exec { ... } if $alias { Exec[...]{ alias +> $alias } } unzip { ....: alias => "..." } As is inferred by the LanguageTutoria...

Hello, I am testing some schedule configurations and was wondering if I can use the schedule type in my own defines? As far as I can claim from my own tests, this is not possible? For example, the schedule "morning" does not work with my self-written define "my_crontab": ######################################### class crontab { schedule {"morning":

I tried to install the ''mongrel'' gem tonight via puppet in an attempt to migrate from webrick to mongrel as described on the puppet site[1]. I added the following to my manifest: package { "rubygems": ensure => installed; "mongrel": ensure => installed, provider => gem, require => Package["rubygems"]; }

So I can''t quite see how to do this in the existing syntax. Ideally there would be an onlyif parameter for packages, but that doesn''t seem to be the case. I could create a fact that returns true or false depending on whether the file exists, but that doesn''t feel like the right way to do it either. I could do something like: $file_exists =

I was wondering how Puppet relates to the DMTF''s CIM. AFAICT there is a clear connection between the two, but I see very little discussion on the topic on the list.

Assume the following question is in regards to Puppet 3.3.2.

hello: i currently am using Puppet to run some commands in a sequence. there are two sequences of exec resources. we found that we cannot use require => Exec and it does not work at all as expected. here is some sample code. exec { "exec-AAA": command => "/bin/true", returns => 0, notify => Exec["exec-BBB"], } exec { "exec-BBB":

Is there a way to specify on a per-object basis that Puppet should merely report that an object needs to be updated without actually performing the update? This would make it possible to detect changes to critical objects (e.g. config files) that Puppet shouldn''t try to fix automaticaly. -- Jos Backus jos at catnook.com
