[Puppet Users] Sanity Check Request: Environments in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf
It just struck me that any environment blocks in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf have meaning ONLY on the puppet master. Is that accurate ? “Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.” Bill Waterson (Calvin & Hobbes) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Thanks for the response. I am planning to manage /etc/puppet/puppet.conf for all the client/agents and it struck me that there is very little one needs to manage if the server is not a puppet master. “Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.” Bill Waterson (Calvin & Hobbes) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Brown" <rendhalver@gmail.com> To: "puppet-users" <puppet-users@googlegroups.com> Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2013 11:22:08 PM Subject: Re: [Puppet Users] Sanity Check Request: Environments in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf On 24 January 2013 06:20, Dan White < ygor@comcast.net > wrote: It just struck me that any environment blocks in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf have meaning ONLY on the puppet master.

Yep, Off the top of my head, you would most likely just want to manage the following: * server * certname * environment * pluginsync * POSSIBLY vardir/ssldir On Fri, Jan 25, 2013 at 5:22 AM, Dan White <ygor@comcast.net> wrote:> Thanks for the response. > > I am planning to manage /etc/puppet/puppet.conf for all the client/agents > and it struck me that there is very little one needs to manage if the > server is not a puppet master. > > > “Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere > in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.” > Bill Waterson (Calvin & Hobbes) > > ------------------------------ > *From: *"Peter Brown" <rendhalver@gmail.com> > *To: *"puppet-users" <puppet-users@googlegroups.com> > *Sent: *Thursday, January 24, 2013 11:22:08 PM > *Subject: *Re: [Puppet Users] Sanity Check Request: Environments in > /etc/puppet/puppet.conf > > > On 24 January 2013 06:20, Dan White <ygor@comcast.net> wrote: > >> It just struck me that any environment blocks in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf >> have meaning ONLY on the puppet master. >> >> Is that accurate ? >> > > Pretty much. > I am reasonably sure the only thing you can put in there is manifest and > module paths. > It basically tells the master where to look for those files for each > environment. > > >> “Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere >> in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.” >> Bill Waterson (Calvin & Hobbes) >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >> "Puppet Users" group. >> To post to this group, send email to puppet-users@googlegroups.com. >> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >> puppet-users+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com. >> For more options, visit this group at >> http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users?hl=en. >> > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Users" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to puppet-users+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to puppet-users@googlegroups.com. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users?hl=en. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Users" group. > To post to this group, send email to puppet-users@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > puppet-users+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users?hl=en. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > >-- Gary Larizza Professional Services Engineer -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Re: [Puppet Users] Sanity Check Request: Environments in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf
FWIW, the default file from the RPM is: [main] # The Puppet log directory. # The default value is ''$vardir/log''. logdir = /var/log/puppet # Where Puppet PID files are kept. # The default value is ''$vardir/run''. rundir = /var/run/puppet # Where SSL certificates are kept. # The default value is ''$confdir/ssl''. ssldir = $vardir/ssl [agent] # The file in which puppetd stores a list of the classes # associated with the retrieved configuratiion. Can be loaded in # the separate ``puppet`` executable using the ``--loadclasses`` # option. # The default value is ''$confdir/classes.txt''. classfile = $vardir/classes.txt # Where puppetd caches the local configuration. An # extension indicating the cache format is added automatically. # The default value is ''$confdir/localconfig''. localconfig = $vardir/localconfig So I doubt I will need to worry about much more than an environment setting. “Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.” Bill Waterson (Calvin & Hobbes) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary Larizza" <gary@puppetlabs.com> To: puppet-users@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, January 25, 2013 11:31:56 AM Subject: Re: [Puppet Users] Sanity Check Request: Environments in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf Yep, Off the top of my head, you would most likely just want to manage the following: * server * certname * environment * pluginsync * POSSIBLY vardir/ssldir On Fri, Jan 25, 2013 at 5:22 AM, Dan White < ygor@comcast.net > wrote: Thanks for the response.
