Hi, We''re using thin stored configs heavily to manage things like Munin and Nagios and we''re currently wondering what to do when nodes go away, or change considerably. If we get rid of a server then all it''s stored config is still present in the database, as well as it''s nagios and munin configurations. We created a script that iterates through the database

...eate an exported ''file'' containing the configuration for that machine. (storeconfig enabled, obviously.) 2. On the munin central host, collect the exported file objects, creating them on disk in a random directory. 3. On the munin central host use some solution like "concatenated_file" to run a shell command, post-hoc, to build the munin.conf file from those fragments stored on disk. Is this really still the best method for achieving this? Is it possible for me to access the storeconfig database from a puppet template running on the puppetmaster? Regards,...

I''d like to keep some pretty granular class definitions in ldap; but I''m not sure what is the best way to turn that into a puppet manifest. Is anybody else doing something like this? For instance, a samba server might have the following classes defined (in ldap): samba, samba-bdc, samba-file-shares, samba-build-shares, etc... And I would like to do something like this: -- class

Hello folks, I''m sitting here converting my static, simple classes/snmp.pp into a full module, and I''ve run into a bit of a brick wall. net-snmp is one of those wonderful programs that will only read two configuration files (it reads a few more, but only 2 are in /etc) - /etc/snmpd.conf and /etc/snmpd.local.conf. This means that my SNMP module is somehow going to have to

Hello! I''m quite newbie to puppet. I''ve got 3 questions: 1. I''ve noticed, that puppet apply defined classes/modules in specyfic order. I''ve got something like this im my configs: /etc/puppet/cf/manifests/site.pp: import "networks/*/site.pp" node generic_node { include "puppet" include "apt" include "debian" } ---

Hi there, I''m facing a problem that I think it''s common enough to be solved directly by puppet or at least have a best practice recommended: building a config file from snippets. I''m thinking for example about a dns zone and hosts inside that zone, ldap server and ldap databases, samba server and samba shares, a firewall config and firewall rules,... The first part of

...1], which will generate the data file (dns entries) from defines in puppet classes. This is all fine and working. :) However I autogenerated after a few tests the classes for the domains from the current source of our domains. Which are about 50 classes each calling around 3 defines, which will be concatenated_file calls (from davids common module), which are in the end around 350 files (done by the file-resource and using the content parameter), often containing only a single line. After having all these classes I tried to run puppet once with puppetd --test on the client which then should get all these cl...

Greetings - Maybe I''m a bit slow, but I''ve been trying to understand how to use a module for the better part of a day and I''m not getting it. Here''s what I''ve done: Using puppet 0.23.2 1. Downloaded the shorewall module from David Schmitt''s git repo (Thanks David!!!!) and placed it in the directory /var/lib/puppet/modules (using the rpm

I''m guessing this is a common use case, but I wasn''t able to find anything in the site FAQ. We''re looking at using Puppet on about 100 servers to control which user groups have access to which servers. The use case is as follows: We have Groups of servers, for example: CUSTOMERservers (serverA, serverB, ...,serverK) ADMINISTRATIVEservers
