Puppet users - May 2009 - Extras .... denizens of the Puppet ext directory

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi all

I''ve been meaning to do this for ages....  In the Puppet tarball is a
directory called "ext" that contains some extras that aren''t
exactly
mainline but could be useful to people.  You can see it''s current
contents at:

http://github.com/reductivelabs/puppet/tree/62534a1622c710eb52b681d96aca8687c597190c/ext

So the "ext" directory has got a number of useful tools, scripts and
add-ons including:

dqfix.sql - A script to remove duplicate resources from a MySQL Stored
Configuration database

emacs - An emacs mode for editing Puppet manifests

ldap - The Puppet LDAP schema

logcheck - Puppet configuration for logcheck

nagios/check_puppet.rb - A Nagios plug-in for monitoring Puppet

nagios/naggen - An application to generate Nagios configuration from a
Stored Configuration database.

module_puppet - Runs a puppet script as a cfengine module

puppetlast - Command-line tool to checks the status of your clients and
when they last connected

puppetlisten - A daemon to trigger Puppet runs on clients

puppetstoredconfigclean.rb - a script to clean a host''s data from a
stored configuration database

puppet-test - A script to measure Puppet client performance

rack - A Puppet module for configuring Puppet with Passenger/Rack/mod_rails

vim - Syntax highlighting and manifest editing support for Vim

P.S.  These are offered without warranty and we make no guarantees that
they all work.

Regards

James Turnbull

These are great. I was looking for a Vim syntax and something for  
logcheck.

In the LDAP schema, I noticed the note about fake OIDs. It wouldn''t be
hard at all to get a PEN for Reductive Labs so you could provide real  
OIDs. Just request it here:

   <http://pen.iana.org/pen/PenApplication.page>

I did it for $employer. It was quick and free.

Nice ! Thanks for pointing that out.

I noticed that the vim syntax highlight file defines "site" as a
keyword along with "class", "define" and "node".
Any idea what language
feature this might be ? I can''t find anything relevant in the wiki...

Paul Nasrat also mentions this in this blog post:
http://nasrat.livejournal.com/51482.html

I would have a couple of improvements to suggest for puppet.vim. Shall I
follow wiki:DevelopmentLifecycle or just send a patch to James
Turnbull ?

Marc

I hope you don''t mind, I sent off a small series of patches for very
minor issues in the vim syntax to puppet-dev just now, and included
one to remove the extraneous ''site'' definition after you
mentioned it
in #puppet.  Then I opened my mail and saw your message. :)

FWIW, there''s an open bug to add the vim syntax (and emacs mode) files
to the Fedora/EPEL packages.  How to do that in the most clean and
maintainable way is up for debate.  If you have thoughts on that,
chime in on the bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/491437
