Puppet users - Jul 2010 - Design, syntax question for passing values from node.pp

Is it possible to define variable at this level.  I need to pass the
monit config file name ( sometimes its monitrc sometimes in not ).


Here is what I have.




# /etc/puppet/manifests/nodes.pp

node basenode {
  include postgresql
  include monit
  include wiki
  include apace
}

node ''freebeerontuesdays.com'' inherits basenode {
}

First question that comes to mind: is there a fact for a given node that
determines what file name to use?

This sounds like a job for an external node classifier that picks a
set of classes to apply to the node.

You can pass the file name as a variable as long as you assign a value
to the variable before you include the class.

For example:
class basenode {
  include postgresql
  include monit
  include wiki
  include apace
}

node ''freebeerontuesdays.com'' {
  $monit_config = "/etc/monit/monitrc"
  include basenode
}
