Hello all,
as I understand the exporting and collecting of ressources it is not
possible to import resources via wildcards.
The situation I have is the following:
One Host which is the munin-monitoring host and one which is the
nagios host.
All computers in our network export resources of the type File for
both the nagios and the munin host.
I collect those ressources via "File <<| |>>" on the
hosts, which
means that both, nagios and munin ressources are imported on both
munin and nagios host.
I would like to have something like: "File <<| name ==
"nagios_%" |>>"
on the nagios host and "File <<| name == "munin_%"
|>> on the munin
host.
This is not possible, right?
To achieve something like this, would it be enough to create different
ressources for those two types? Something like:
define muninfile(){
file{
... same paramaters that previously were there...
}
}
And then export those via @@muninfile and import the via Muninfile <<|
|>>?
Same for nagios?
That should work right? Anyway, I guess the preferred solution would
be to have substring search for "File <<| name ==
"somesubstring" |>>"
Thanks for the help,
udo.

Something like:I''m replying to you directly because I havent tested this much, or thought about caveats. I just ran into a similar problem the other day and tried something that I thought would be a possible solution, and it appeared to work. Use tags: @@foo { thing: tag => "baz" } Foo <<| tag == baz |>> Let me know how it goes if you can. Cheers

Last time I tried it, though, it only kind of worked; that is, it works if you explicitly tag the files with ''munin'' or ''nagios'', but not if you try to use the automatic tags. -- If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things. -- Rene Descartes --------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke Kanies | http://reductivelabs.com | http://madstop.com
Hey and thanks for this patch, Your web interface gives a 404 at least when calling the url you have given. without the puppet part it works. I have just tried the "define muninfile" and Muninfile <<||>> approach and it did not work. To all developers of puppet. Would it be possible to integrade Bart''s patches into puppet? The "=~" operator is just how it should be like. It is pretty annoying to always have all resources collected on all hosts... Thanks all, and thanks Bart for this, udo.

Thanks Luke. I''ll try that in some minutes. If this works, it solves my problem for now, nevertheless I think that an operator like Bart''s "=~" might be the natural and expected thing to have. Then, one could do substring searches on all parameters and would not be restricted to a xertain type of paramter. Have a nice day, udo.

I''ve been looking at the possibilities but globbing and wildcard searching seems to be all a bit different on various databases. gr, Bart -- Bart Vanbrabant <bart.vanbrabant@zoeloelip.be>

In the 0.24.1 version. I use File <<| tag == "someting" |>> ,but can''t work. can''t get any file. puppetmasterd is 0.24.1 ,and all the puppetd is 0.23.2 . what''s the reason.
