I discovered Capistrano while I was trying to figure out what I wanted. See attached notes. http://www.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/GNOSIS/Kraken Puppet seems promising. Thanks, Brian -- - Brian Gupta http://opensolaris.org/os/project/nycosug/

If this has already been covered, please point me to that (I didn''t find anything in my searches)... We are using F5 BigIP LTM load balancers. They have many pools of Mongrels they load balance across, and I of course want the F5 to know when a Mongrel goes down or is unavailable, etc. To do that, I need to have an F5 health monitor for HTTP make a request to the Mongrel. We do this

...c-mcollective-salt-and-rundeck/(From a 10,000 overview Saltstack and mcollective look very similar. IE: both integrate with facter/puppet, have queuing mechanisms, allow remote execution and introspection of node data, etc).

Currently and going forward people will be running multiple versions of puppet. What are the plans for puppet compatibility with Modules? Thinking we may want to be able to specify what version of Puppet is running and ask for the compatible module. (Which may be the same).

...er tasks somewhat lowers the requirements for puppet to be run as a service. (Or out of cron for that matter). I understand that in cases where old Ruby versions are for whatever reason mandated the answer may be different.

Is ZFS efficient at handling huge populations of tiny-to-small files - for example, 20 million TIFF images in a collection, each between 5 and 500k in size? I am asking because I could have sworn that I read somewhere that it isn''t, but I can''t find the reference. Thanks, Brian -- - Brian Gupta http://opensolaris.org/os/project/nycosug/

I''ve been tasked at my workplace to upgrade our puppet installation to a more modern version. Currently all the environments run a RubyGem version of puppet 0.25.4 on mostly RHEL/Centos 5.3 - 5.5 (there are, like most environments, a few laggards running RHEL4 or new machines running CentOS 6). The plan is to upgrade these to the most stable version of Puppet, which at the time of

Hi, I have a Puppet Enterprise (2.0) puppetmaster running with Foreman, and having trouble getting it working as an External Node Classifier. In short, if I manually add a test client into site.pp, it will retrieve the proper catalog / classes, but I would like to avoid having to do that. I''m also using environments (production/testing/ development) as well, but think I have most of

Hi guys, I totally love Puppet. I"m installing an ubuntu virtual machine with it and have managed to get the most rudimentary stuff working. My virtual machine runs 5.10 and I am needing 5.12. Does anyone know how to specify an install of Perl-5.12 in my .pp file? Any pointers would be appreciated... Julian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

Hi, I am using puppet as my configuration solution, it is a very good for system-level configuration management and compliance. But it is not good at batch jobs. For now, I have three options: puppi, MCollective and ControlTier. I don''t know much about them. Can anyone give me some advices that which of them is better at batch jobs. Thanks Yunfeng -- You received this message because

Hello Everyone, I''m still pretty new with puppet so please bare with me. I tried searching and I''m pretty sure I''ve ready my answer but I''m not sure if I''m going down the right path just yet. My scenario is this: I have 4 environments, Dev, Test, QA, Prod. Each of these environments lives in 2 sites, LA and NY. I have 5 applications that are site and

Hi, for what it''s worth: There''s now a new Live CD for Solaris called Damm Small Solaris: http://www.sunhelp.ru/archives/179-Damn_Small_Solaris_0.1.1_English_Page.html In contrast to Belenix this Live CD works in Qemu - even without kqemu load the performance is not so bad. One important missing are the network driver for the network adapter emulated by Qemu. But they

Howdy, Before I go about writing one myself, anyone out there written a software inventory module/fact for gathering a list of all installed rpms/debs on a system?

Hi All, We are wanting to having a Puppet Meetup in NYC on February 3th, 2009, 6:30 PM. Place to be determined. Baring that my wife doesn''t give birth by then (which would prevent me from making it) how does this sound to everyone else? Brian G., Can you rally up the troops and also invite people from other groups? Also let''s have some specific topics to discuss.

How do folks feel about getting Puppet job listings on this list? I''ve rejected a few that we quite spammy, but when the subject matter really is a system admin with puppet experience, the decision becomes a bit different. I''m looking for general feelings. A simple +1 or -1 would be great. Mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

We use puppet to distribute named zone files, like many of you do. We use git to maintain these files, which are then pulled by the puppet master machine. These zone files are actually puppet template .erb files. The other day, I made a mistake which resulted in some zone files with syntax errors in them. Puppet faithfully distributed the erroneous zone files to the name servers, which killed

I''m thinking it should be fairly simple to have a puppetmaster call out to an ENC script that queries the EC2 API to get tags for classification purposes, and would be surprised if someone hasn''t already written an ENC script to do this. I''m thinking this will help let nodes in autoscaling groups get classified, however that does still leave the issue of certs. Thanks,
