Puppet users - Jun 2009 - per environment external nodes

Hi all,

for the design that I am working on, It would be nice for the external node
script to know its environment (because it relies on config files and other
resources that may vary between the environments for testing purposes)

I have just verified that this does not work:

    [testing]
      external_nodes = /etc/puppet/conf-test/node_classifier-test

Also, I believe that we have no access to facts from external node scripts
($environment)

it would be nice if the current environment was a second argument to the
external node script.
    #Executing ''/etc/puppet/conf/node_classifier
HOST.eu.boehringer.comtest''

Is there someway to determine this at runtime?

__

As an alternative, I can add the environment information to the inventory
database that the external nodes are using to classify nodes and then rely
on my "puppet" module to ensure that machines stay consistent with the
database.

regards,

Dan

I don''t know how you''re storing information about nodes, but
each of
mine has an attribute in LDAP called ''environment''. Works just
fine
with no modifications to Puppet.

So, the answer is ''yes?''.
