Hi folks, For the first time since I started playing with puppet I started down the road of using exported resources This was inspired by my reading all of the nagios related recipes that went something along the lines of class nagios { package {nagios: ensure=> latest } service {nagios : ensure => running , enable => true} Nagios_host <<! !>>

"The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from." -- Andrew S Tannenbaum Debian does wonky things when you install a gem from "gem install." Usually this isn''t a problem unless there are executables to consider. I am running into that very thing with the "puppet-module" script on my laptop which runs a flavor of Debian. I thought I

OK... I started seeing some issues with the certificates between my clients and the puppetmaster. So I went ahead and removed puppet from the clients and cleaned up /var/lib/puppet and /etc/puppet. Then I reinstalled puppet, signed the new cert and things seemed to go OK after that. Then the shocker the second run started to fail and i have this message: [root@atlcnag0 ~]# puppetd --test

I''m suddenly getting the below errors from Rack during puppetd -t (excerpted from the pink HTML output and cleaned for readability): Could not prepare for execution: Got 10 failure(s) while initializing: change from absent to directory failed: Could not set ''directory on ensure: Permission denied - /var/lib/puppet/yaml; change from absent to directory failed: Could not set

So, I have a server at home that has four VMs running inside it. All are managed via puppet. The physical host runs puppetmasterd. I don''t recall noticing this before, but puppetmasterd has decided to be kind of crazy. Here''s the physical host with no puppetmasterd running: top - 11:36:15 up 271 days, 15:16, 1 user, load average: 5.68, 5.50, 6.45 Tasks: 129 total, 1

Hi folks, I noticed an interesting problem with the nagios_* providers especially in Debian. Besides writing to the wrong file (I fixed that issue) I''ve noticed there is a umask issue where the config files end up being owned by root with perms 0640.

The function is in the form of function forward_zone ($dns_zone => "localdomain", $hosts => { { host=>"localhost", ip_addr=>"127.0.0.1" } }}) { .... logic here.... } and the template will include the zone delegation record. What I''m trying to

Hi folks, I''m about to propose to my current company that we use puppet to manage releases of home grown software. The environment is a mix of Solaris 8/9/10 and RHEL 5&6.
