Puppet users - Dec 2012 - Trying to use a facter information in manifest.

I am trying to use information that facter gathers on the agent server in 
the manifest. I am trying to use "domain => dev.com" depending on
what
domain is I deploy the file. I ran the manifest and it did not give me an 
error but it did not fdeploy the file. My code is below. 
In my files directory for this manifest I have these files
aliases
submit.cf.dev.com
submit.cf.test.com
 
MY init.pp file is the one below
class sendmailnew {
exec { "mail":
     command => "/usr/bin/yum -y install sendmail",
  }
  exec { "restart":
       command => "/etc/init.d/sendmail restart",
  }
    file {
    "/etc/mail/aliases":
      ensure => file,
      source => "puppet:///sendmailnew/aliases",
      owner => root,
      group => root,
      mode => 644;
  }
  exec { "mailaliases":
       command => "/usr/bin/newaliases",
  }
}
class submitcf ($domain) {
      file { submit:
         path => $domain ? {
             default => "/etc/mail/submit.cf",
      },
      ensure => file,
      owner => root,
      group => root,
      mode => 644,
      source => "puppet:///sendmailnew/submit.cf.$domain";
  }
}

What you''re trying to do is sensible.

The first thing I do with these sorts of problems is work backwards from 
the Agent - is the Agent trying to manage this resource? The last run 
should store a list of classes and resources in these files:

$ grep submit /var/lib/puppet/state/resources.txt
$ grep submitcf /var/lib/puppet/state/classes.txt

Or you can run the Agent with --evaltrace and it will print out each 
resource it tries to manage - check if submit.cf scrolls past:

$ puppet agent --test --evaltrace

If submit.cf is not there, then the Puppet Master does not think that your 
node should be managing those resources and the problem is in manifest 
compilation. Make sure this node''s definition is declaring the correct 
submitcf classes.

If you want to, you can run a catalog compilation in debug mode. It
won''t
help you with this specific problem but it''s useful to know:

$ puppet master --compile <node name> --debug

This can be a bit complicated to read as you''ll get a deluge of debug 
messages while the catalog is being compiled, then a big dump of JSON which 
is the catalog itself.

Lastly, I would rewrite your classes below like this:

class sendmailnew {
  package { "sendmail":
    ensure => installed,
    notify  => Service["sendmail"],
  }

  service { "sendmail":
    ensure => running,
    enable => true,
    has_restart => true,
    has_status => true,
    require => [ Package["sendmail"],
File["/etc/mail/submit.cf"], ],
  }

  file { "/etc/mail/aliases":
      ensure => file,
      source => "puppet:///modules/sendmailnew/aliases",
      owner => root,
      group => root,
      mode => 644;
      notify => Exec["mailaliases"],
  }

  exec { "mailaliases":
       command => "/usr/bin/newaliases",
       refreshonly => true,
       notify => Service["sendmail"],
  }

    file { "/etc/mail/submit.cf",
      ensure => file,
      owner => root,
      group => root,
      mode => 644,
      source => "puppet:///modules/sendmailnew/submit.cf.$domain";
      require => Package["sendmail"],
      notify => Service["sendmail"],
    }
  }

Have a look at the differences and if you have any questions, please ask.

HTH,

Hi There,
Luke beat me to the punch, but I''d already typed this up so I 
figured I''d send it anyway.

You are going about some of these tasks the wrong way a little, and you 
should probably have a read of the following:
* Learning Puppet - http://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/index.html
* Pro Puppet - James Turnbull & Jeffrey McCune
* The Puppet cookbook - http://puppetcookbook.com/
* Puppet modules fundamentals - 
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/2.7/reference/modules_fundamentals.html

Using the package -> config -> service approach, your puppet code should
be
similar to the following in your module.


class sendmailnew {


package { sendmail :
   ensure => installed,
}


file { "/etc/mail/aliases":
 ensure => file,
 source => "puppet:///sendmailnew/aliases",
 owner  => root,
       group  => root,
 mode   => 644,
 notify => Exec[mailaliases],
}

exec { ''mailaliases'':
command => ''/usr/bin/newaliases'',
              }


file { ''/etc/mail/submit.cf'' :
ensure => file,
owner => root,
        group => root,
        mode => 644,
source => [ "puppet:///sendmailnew/submit.cf.${::domain}",
''puppet:///sendmailnew/submit.cf'',
],
notify => Service[sendmail],
}
 service { sendmail : 
ensure => running,
enable => true,
require => [ Package[sendmail] ,
File[''/etc/mail/submit.cf''] ],
}


}


Once you have setup your module, you need to apply the module''s classes
to
the node in question.
This can be done in your site.pp file similar to the following:

node ''servername'' {

include sendmailnew

}

I hope this helps.

K
