[Puppet Users] Problems in Ch. 7 of Pro Puppet 2nd Edition
Here are the issues I found in Chapter 7. Short chapter - many typos. Only 5 more chapters to go. Jon Forrest M = mistake U = unclear T = typo E = text change C = comment (M) Pg. 169 "an external node carrier (ENC)" -> "an external node classifier (ENC)" (C) Pg. 169 "integrated data center lifecycle management tool" This is a meaningless phrase. (E) Pg. 170 "The Foreman installer currently does not support MCollective or PuppetDB installation" -> "The Foreman installer currently does not install MCollective or PuppetDB" (C) Pg. 172 "Foreman will be accessible at https://fqdn/" You should make it clear here that "fqdn" should be replaced by the hostname of the host running Foreman. You mention this instead on the next page, but that's too late. (T) Pg. 172 "add your foreman server" -> "add your Foreman server" (C) Pg. 172 Why should provisioning be disabled? I'm not saying this is wrong but it would be nice to know why. (E) Pg. 175 "it will drill down" -> "Foreman will drill down" (E) Pg. 176 "The Foreman behaves as an ENC" -> "Foreman behaves as an ENC" (Using been using "Foreman" without "the" up to now. Be consistent. This mistake occurs more than once on this page.) (U) Pg. 178 What's an "eventful report"? (U) Pg. 178 Why does "pro-puppet-foreman-client1.lan" appear twice in Figure 7-10? I would expect there to be one entry per client. If this isn't true, please explain what's included in the "Reports" tab. (T) Pg. 178 "node with errors and warning" -> "node with errors and warnings" (U) Pg. 179 What's an "eventful node"? (E) Pg. 179 "query for all of the nodes" -> "query all of the nodes running Debian Linux" (T) Pg. 180 "which like Foreman" -> "which, like Foreman" (T) Pg. 180 "advancing reporting tools" -> "advanced reporting tools" (E) Pg. 180 "enterprise product line and support" -> "enterprise product line" (U) Pg. 180 "One of the key differences from Foreman is that PE Console focuses on Puppet and its related products" -> Foreman focuses on Puppet also. How is this different than PE Console? (T) Pg. 180 "For this section will be running" -> "For this section we will be running" (T) Pg. 180 "access the console" -> "access the PE console" (T) Pg. 181 "Once our nodes have checked in, we can begin applying configuration to them" -> "Once your nodes have checked in, you can begin applying configuration to them" (Why did you change person here? This problem also exists on Pg. 182) (T) Pg. 183 "Once your click Run" -> "Once you click Run" (T) Pg. 184 "requests HTTP library" -> "Requests HTTP library" (E) Pg. 184 "Every node that runs" -> "Every running node" (U) Pg. 184 "If the capability is enabled, it can also give you" The pronoun reference for "it" isn't clear. Is it referring to PuppetDB or the capability, or Puppetboard? (E) Pg. 185 "you will have to run Puppetboard" -> "you will have to install Puppetboard" (E) Pg. 185 "another httpd, like Nginx" -> "another web server, like Nginx" (E) Pg. 185 "nodes who changed" -> "nodes that changed" (E) Pg. 186 "filter the table for you" -> "filter the table" (E) Pg. 186 "it will give you" -> "you'll have" (E) Pg. 187 "showing for which nodes this fact is known " -> "showing which nodes have this fact" (E) Pg. 188 "and allows you" -> "and allowing you" (E) Pg. 188 "as we try" -> "as it tries" (C) Pg. 189 "that enable you to provide graphing to your team" I looked all through this chapter and I didn't see anything about graphing.
