[Puppet Users] Passing parameters for a class in Dashboard

Hi,

I have recently installed puppet and components including dashboard on my 
server. I am new to puppet and what I am trying to achieve here is passing 
parameters via dashboard

What I can see right now is under Add Class in dashboard, I can only pass 
the class names. Whereas when I can include classes via nodes.pp I can also 
pass parameters. 

How can do this from dashboard, 

eg. if I want to achieve the following from dashboard how will I be able to 
do it

/etc/puppet/manifests/nodes.pp
class baseclass {
class { ''mysql'': }
class { ''mysql::server'':
#config_hash => { ''root_password'' =>
''mypass'' }
}
mysql::db { ''mydb'':
user     => ''myuser'',
password => ''mypass'',
host     => ''localhost'',
grant    => [''all''],
}
}

node ''pclient1.example.com'' {
        include baseclass
}


And this is how my site.pp looks like

[root@pmast1 ~]# cat /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp
import ''nodes.pp''
$puppetserver = ''pmast1.example.com''
filebucket { "main":
server => "puppet",
path => false,
}
File { backup => "main" }

Please suggest.

[Puppet Users] Re: Passing parameters for a class in Dashboard

Or in other words , how do I make sure that following config is applied to 
my node through dashboard

class base1 {

  package { ["rsync", "xinetd"]: ensure => present }
  service { "xinetd": ensure => running }

  include rsyncd
  $password = generate("/usr/bin/pwgen", 8, 1)

  user { "dba":
  ensure => present,
  comment => "DB user",
  gid => "dba",
  shell => "/bin/false",
  require => Group["dba"],
  }

  group { "dba":
  ensure => present,
  }

  file { "/backup-mysql":
    ensure => directory,
    mode => 0775,
    owner => "dba",
    group => "dba",
  }

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Passing parameters for a class in Dashboard

In dashboard parameters are assigned via group.

So basically you just create a group, assign some parameters there, include some
nodes and your class in it.

Parameters created via dashboard group are at the global top scope I believe.

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Passing parameters for a class in Dashboard

Ok.. I understand ... I can simply include the class and assign it to my 
node.. but how will dashboard know which parameters refers to which class?

There could be a parameter like "ensure => present" and it could
have been
used in multiple classes that I have included, how will these things be 
taken care of?

RE: [Puppet Users] Re: Passing parameters for a class in Dashboard

As I said parameters created by dashboard is on top scope.

You can check out puppet’s doc regarding scoping.

Assuming you don’t what to rely on their dynamic lookup (which is what they
recommended since the feature is retiring) In your module you can reference
global variable directly with the :: prefix.
