Puppet users - Jan 2013 - puppet allow regex issue in file server

hi! all,

the following regex fails for a mount point definition

[palms]
path /apps/puppet/projects/palms/%h
allow /^bangvmplmpalm([0-1][0-4,9]).example.com$/

here''s the logs

./puppet.log-20130120:Thu Jan 17 19:17:21 +0530 2013 
/Stage[main]//Node[bangvmplmpalm11.example.com]/File[/etc/httpd/dispatcher/dispatcher.any]
(err): Could not evaluate: Error 400 on SERVER: Not authorized to call find 
on /file_metadata/palms/dispatcher.any Could not retrieve file metadata for 
puppet:///palms/dispatcher.any: Error 400 on SERVER: Not authorized to call 
find on /file_metadata/palms/dispatcher.any
./puppet.log-20130120:Thu Jan 17 19:17:21 +0530 2013 
/Stage[main]//Node[bangvmplmpalm11.example.com]/File[/etc/httpd/dispatcher-vhost/dispatcher-vhost.conf]
(err): Could not evaluate: Error 400 on SERVER: Not authorized to call find 
on /file_metadata/palms/dispatcher-vhost.conf Could not retrieve file 
metadata for puppet:///palms/dispatcher-vhost.conf: Error 400 on SERVER: 
Not authorized to call find on /file_metadata/palms/dispatcher-vhost.conf

when I test it on rubular or any other ruby based regex test with the 
string bangvmplmplam09 to bangvmplmpalm14 it shows mathces, nopt sure if it 
is a regex problem or puppet. Please advice on what might be going wrong.

The allow directive uses wildcards, not regular expressions:

Unless this was added but not documented.

Hmm ..... silly I missed that;

We name our virtual machines in the following manner
[location-prefix][vm-type][project-code][vm-id] hence the name bang
(Bangalore) vmplm [ mid -size VM running RHEL 6.3] palm [project code], the
ids are from 09 to 14. I wanted to reserve this mount point only for the
VMs of this project.

looks like bangvmplmpalm* is the right way to go then.

also is there a way to extract the project code "plam" into a
variable?

something like

[projects]
/apps/puppet/projects/%p/%h or /apps/puppet/projects/$project/%h ?
