Hello, New user to Puppet I am trying to see if Puppet can replace my Mac servers for managing 1200 clients. Testing has gone well and I am very impressed with the functions and potential this platform can offer me. However I have hit upon a sticking point. I need to manage lots of machines in groupings. Can I do this by defining the name in site.pp import "nodes/*.pp" then in nodes/ nodes/*.pp ==> lab1.pp nodes/*.pp ==> lab2.pp so nodes/lab1.pp nodes/lab2.pp so all 30 machines with the name lab1_1.domain (lab1_2.domain etc..) only get the lab1.pp and machines called lab2.*.domain get the lab2.pp or is there a better way to deal with this? Or would it be nodes/labs.pp node 'lab1* ' { notify {"this is a lab1 machine"} } node 'lab2* ' { notify {"this is a lab2 machine"} } Struggling to get my head around automatically defining groups.
