Puppet users - Nov 2013 - get list of all nodes in site.pp and use it in another module

How to use pupppet to get all the list of node names available in site.pp 
and use it in another module which is imported in site.pp


For example

site.pp
---------
node1 { ''first_node'':
   a => ''hello''
  }


node2 { ''second_node'':
  b => ''hai''
}


import new_module.pp


new_module.pp
----------------------

// Here i want to get all the list of node_names, is there any possibility 
to retrieve

this doesn''t look like valid node syntax?

Uhm, you can *possibly* get at the data using file() or generate(), but
you probably shouldn''t. It sounds like you are laying a nightmarish
foundation for your architecture.

What are you trying to do, specifically? Maybe we can recommend a better
way to get there.

Cheers,
Felix

Hi Felix,

I think the question which i asked didn''t make sense.

I am new to puppet, basically i don''t have basics on how the things
like
node, class, define works,
Is there any video tutorials avaiable to get through the puppet easily.

Thanks,
Sasikiran

Hi,

I know of no video, but it''s hard to convey the basics in such a form
anyway, I believe.

I recommend taking a look at the official tutorial:
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/

Felix
