Puppet users - Jun 2008 - How to upload files from client to server ?

Hi all,
Have you ever written a module or function to upload files from client to
server?
I want to upload some files to server after puppet-client implement the
configuration.
I intend defining a new type, that''s based on the filebucket type to do
that
But it''s seemly quite difficult, because i don''t understand
about the
puppet''s system
Do you have any idea or suggest for me the way to upload file to server?

Thanks in advance

Can you explain a bit better what you are trying to achieve? Why are
you needing to copy files back to teh server after they get
manipulated by the client? Using exported resources might be better.

Thanks for your answer,
I want to manage configuration status of clients. The manifests is divided
into many tags, and the server want to know what tags client has
implemented. Now i recorded the configuration status of client into text
file on the client, and i want to upload it to the server.
Can you explain more clearly about exported resources?

Thanks you very much

Your puppet node manifests already tell the server what resources the
client is going to have installed, including tags. Your client
configuration information should be stored on the server not on the
clients using manifests or and external node source like LDAP.

As I understand your description, you currently have puppet manifests
for configuring your clients, that after the client is configured by
puppet puppet writes out a list of tags to a file. You want to copy
this tag file back up to the server. Am I understanding this right?

implemented. But it includes too many information, and doesn''t have the
format, that i want. Actually, i don''t want to store configuration
information on the client, the final purpose is storing on the server, but i
can''t do like that. I have done as the following description:

*class a {
  log_information("a")
  #Do something
}
*
*class b {
  log_information("b")
  #Do something
}

node default {
  include a
  include b
}
*
log_information() is used to log information on the server. If i run client
with --tags a, it will log both informaions from class a and class b. As i
understand when client communicates with server, it will download all
manifests (all tags), so it logs all informations from class a and class b.
Am i understanding right ?

I can''t do like above, so i must to use the other way, log information
on
the client and upload file to server. But now i meet problem with uploading.


Can you suggest for me the best way, and how can i do that ?

Thanks for your help
