Hey Folks, I''m just starting to look into Puppet though am finding it a bit confusing as to how to get it setup on the network I administer. At the moment it is a combination of RHEL 4 and SLES 10 boxes with windows and novell also. I know that windows / novell is beside the point though am wondering how to get puppet setup on the RHEL and SLES side of things. Any good howto''s or tutorials would be greatly appreciated.

I wrote a short howto for our internal use. Probably, could be useful to you as well. This is for CentOS and should work for RHEL as well: http://in.torridnetworks.com/wiki/index.php/Install_Puppet_On_CentOS Many Thanks, Dhruv -----Original Message----- From: puppet-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:puppet-users@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Matt Delves Sent: Thursday, June 18, 2009 9:27 AM To: puppet-users@googlegroups.com Subject: [Puppet Users] Getting started with puppet Hey Folks, I''m just starting to look into Puppet though am finding it a bit confusing as to how to get it setup on the network I administer.

Lots of documentation out there - start with: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/DocumentationStart There are some tutorials cited on that page too (in the Additional Documentation section from memory). The next release, 0.25.0, will have Windows support for some simple stuff initially.

I have two a base class
*class A {
$project = mailbox
$nagios_hostgroup = "X"
$nagios_contact_groups = "Y"
include base_node ## All the common classes goes here
}
node mailbox-base {
include A
}
class A-nagios {
include A-common
# defines for nagios configurations
nagios_contact_group { "$nagios_hostgroup" : contactgroup_name
=>
$nagios_hostgroup , alias_name => $nagios_hostgroup , members =>
$nagios_hostgroup }
nagioscontact { $nagios_hostgroup : contact_name =>
$nagios_hostgroup , alias_name => $nagios_hostgroup }
nagioshostgroup { $nagios_hostgroup : hostgroup_name =>
$nagios_hostgroup , alias_name => $nagios_hostgroup }
}
node mailbox-base-nagios {
include A-nagios
}
*
If i define my classes like these , I can''t see $project ,
$nagios_hostgroup , $nagios_contact_groups in the *host* inheriting node
mailbox-base-nagios .
If i put variable explicitly in class A-nagios , it works for me
class A-nagios {
$project = mailbox
$nagios_hostgroup = "X"
$nagios_contact_groups = "Y"
include A-common
# defines for nagios configurations
nagios_contact_group { "$nagios_hostgroup" : contactgroup_name
=>
$nagios_hostgroup , alias_name => $nagios_hostgroup , members =>
$nagios_hostgroup }
nagioscontact { $nagios_hostgroup : contact_name =>
$nagios_hostgroup , alias_name => $nagios_hostgroup }
nagioshostgroup { $nagios_hostgroup : hostgroup_name =>
$nagios_hostgroup , alias_name => $nagios_hostgroup }
}
Is there any other better method to accomplish what I''m trying to do ??
I''m using puppet version 0.24.8 on centos .
