[Puppet Users] Using array''s in Puppet (in combination with Augeas).
Hi, I have been struggling with arrays in puppet in combination with Augeas. I have written a define to configure network interfaces on Debian based distributions using Augeas. One of the requirements is the possibility to use the up/down mechanism. This where I run into a snag. Everything works fine until I try to setup more than than one up rule. First some code examples of the define: -- Node Configuration -- networking::managed_interface { ''eth1'': int => ''eth1'', ipaddr => ''192.168.1.123'', netmask => ''255.255.255.0'', up => ''route add -net 172.16.1.0/24 gw 192.168.1.1'' } -- networking::managed_interface (only the up segment) -- if $up != '''' { augeas{ "up-${device}" : context => ''/files/etc/network/interfaces'', changes => [ "set iface[. = ''${device}'']/up[. = ''${up}'' ] \"${up} \"", ], } } So this works fine but I would like to be able to add multiple up rules. I was thinking about passing multiple rules as an array: up => [''route add -net 172.16.1.0/24 gw 192.168.3.1'', ''route add -net 192.168.12.0/24 gw 192.168.3.1''] And use some kind of for/while loop in Puppet to iterate over the array but to my surprise Puppet has no way of doing this... I searched the documentation, google and the google-group but there seems to be no way of iterating over an array or even get the size of an array. So now I am kind of stuck. I could write a separate define for the up rules but I would rather have this within the define for interfaces. I am probably not the first to have run into this and I am curious as how others have solved this "problem" Regards, Adrian. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Make a defined type that does the required augeas to add an ''up'' rule, then have your interfaces define make one of those ''up'' resources per array element. Sorry For The Inconvenience ;-) Cheers, Felix -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
