Hey,
recently I wrote my first custom type.
It''s a rather easy one, that should only create a config file if it is
inconsistent.
The config file is for another tool that creates virtual network
interfaces and assigns IP addresses to them (used for loadbalancing).
Basically it looks like this:
IFACE1="lo:0"
IP1="192.168.0.10"
IFACE2="lo:1"
IP2="192.168.98.34"
IFACE3="lo:2"
IP3="192.168.2.204"
the custom type gets the ip addresses as a string looking like this:
$ipstringA = "192.168.0.10 192.168.98.34"
$ipstringB = "192.168.2.204"
The type is defined like this:
###start###
require ''resolv''
module Puppet
newtype(:balanceclient) do
@doc = "Creates client.conf"
newparam(:ips) do
desc "The IP address(es) that need to be set in the
client.conf."
end
newparam(:target) do
desc "The filename"
isnamevar
end
newproperty(:ensure) do
desc "Whether the resource is in sync or not."
defaultto :insync
def retrieve
ips = resource[:ips].split('' '').uniq
c = 0
ac = 0
File.readlines(resource[:target]).each { |l|
if l.include?("# Hostname: ")
c=c+1
end
ips.each { |a|
if l.include?("#{a}")
ac=ac+1
end
}
}
if c.eql?(ips.length) && ac.eql?(ips.length)
:insync
else
:outofsync
end
end
newvalue :outofsync
newvalue :insync do
output = File.open(resource[:target], "w")
ips = resource[:ips].split('' '').uniq
output.puts "# Diese Datei wird durch Puppet verwaltet, manuelle
Aenderungen werden ueberschrieben.\n# This file is managed by puppet -
modifications will be overwritten.\n\n"
1.upto(ips.length) do |x|
iaddr = ips[x-1]
if hn = Resolv::DNS.new.getname("#{iaddr}")
else
if hn.length <= 0
hn = ips[x-1];
end
end
output.puts "# Hostname: #{hn}\n";
output.puts "IFACE#{x}\=\"lo:#{x-1}\"\n";
output.puts "IP#{x}\=\"#{ips[x-1]}\"\n\n";
end
end
end
end
end
###end###
and it is called from a std class:
###start###
class testclass {
balanceclient { "balclient":
target => "/path/to/client.conf",
ensure => insync,
ips => $hosttype ? {
"type1" => $ipstringB,
"type2" => "$ipstringA $ipstringB",
default => "",
},
}
}
###end###
now ... what I experience is:
* running "puppet -dv testclass" on the server went fine. File is
written, updated, and left alone if everything is insync.
* deploying the type and running puppetd on a node that is including
this class from a second one, it doesn''t. Puppet just does nothing
regarding this class and type - everything else seems to be working.
Did I do something wrong? Have I forgotten a vital element in this type?
Why isn''t there a hint in "Pulling strings with puppet"? ;-)
(Btw: great book, thanks for writing it, James!)
Yours,
Phillip

It''s just doing nothing? I''d expect it to either work, or throw an exception about a missing resource type. Are you copying the resource type to the client, using pluginsync?

hey luke, happy to read from you. Luke Kanies schrieb:> If it works stand-alone but not with puppetd, then it''s just a problem > in the setup, not in the resource type itself. > > It''s just doing nothing?Nope, not even if I add "--debug --trace --verbose" to puppetd - well there is a lot of output there then - since every other class works and all ressources are compiled correctly, but not this one. The only occurance of the ressource name balanceclient is within a require.> I''d expect it to either work, or throw an > exception about a missing resource type.

Now, I tried to include the class to another class and I even added it directly to classes list in external nodes config. Phillip

Not sure if this is the case for you, but for me that path would need to be /var/lib/puppet/lib/puppet/balanceclient.rb (note the extra "puppet") HTH -Paul --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Ok, I tried it: notice: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib/puppet]/ensure: created notice: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib/puppet/balanceclient.rb]/ensure: created but anyway - this would not be executed. I am a bit at a loss. More suggestions what to try?

[Puppet Users] *FIXED* [Puppet Users] Custom type not working with puppetd
got it - strace was my friend *doh*
basically paul has been on the right path, but this file had to be in
${libdir}/puppet/type/
and on the server to get synced correctly:
${plugindir}/puppet/type/
thanks to all of you.
