I have been using the Dashboard facility for assigning string values to
keys with great glee. It solves a number of support issues that I was
dealing with in a very neat fashion.
I did a google search on "puppet dashboard arrays" and found that
there had
been some discussion about this and a feature request made but I didn''t
get
the impression that there was ever a resolution.
Is there a way of encoding
$domains = { "domain.tld" => { users => [ "tom" ,
"dick" , "harry" ,
"sally" },
"otherdomain.tld" => { users=> [
"spot", "jane",
"dick"] }
}
from dashboard and if so how?

At the moment, there''s also additional escape characters that''s needs to be dealt with (a bug I think), so "[\"foo\"]" is returned as "[\\\"foo\\\"]".

If you use json, you can parse the parameter via parsejson available in stdlib: In dashboard set the parameter example to ["foo", "bar"] ENC output: parameters: example: "[\"foo\", \"bar\"]" In puppet manifests: $example_array = parsejson($example) notify { $example_array : } notice: /Stage[main]//Node[sample]/Notify[bar]/message: current_value absent, should be bar (noop) notice: /Stage[main]//Node[sample]/Notify[foo]/message: current_value absent, should be foo (noop) Thanks, Nan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet Dashboard, arrays and hashes
Hi, I am actually interested in this... what is the actual status? I would like to be able to have arrays and define them in the dashboard, possibly filling parts of the array from different groups. Is it possible? How? Thanks!
