Hello All, How do I specify a variable that has a space in it? I''m trying to setup a yum repo that has two different baseurl''s based on the product name ($productname). Default goes one way, but if the product is "PowerEdge 2650" then is a different URL. The thing is, that is only picking up the default. How should I specify the value with the space in the

Hi, are there any good ways of scripting an inventory of managed resources on all nodes? I''ve found the inventory script by R.I.Pienaar ( http://www.devco.net/archives/2010/02/26/what_does_puppet_manage_on_a_node-2.php) which does what I want but only locally on each client. Is there any native way of syncing the client_yaml data centrally or any other way of doing this? I need a script-friendly way of checking which clients have this or that config...

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

When attempting to execute the mcollective puppet plugin: # mco puppet runonce -v aixl : execution expired aixj : execution expired I get an error, ''execution expired'' on some hosts. However, these hosts respond via mco ping and, I have verified the date/time on the servers. The puppet agent is also

My understanding was that at the beginning of each run the puppetmaster imports all modules so that any includes at the top level are applied directly. However, I am not so sure anymore. I''ve been tracing how this works and it seems like modules are included more lazily. In other words, when able_to_import is called seems like when the magic happens, rather than up front when the run

...got from list, I will not... So, is puppet able to use many rpm install commands in same host? *Did not find the answer here: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/TypeReference#package 2.-) CFE logs are crazy... I need syslog or nagios and parse them myself... I''ve seen: http://www.devco.net/pubwiki/Puppet/PuppetView and looks very nice, but has puppet a sumary of what has done in the client with a simple "OK" or "KO"? (Obviously I won''t say ok or ko, but maybe it could say if all steps when fine or not..) So, could someone answer these questions? I...

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

Hi, I have been trying to improve the coding of some of my puppet recipes and had some trouble so wrote this: http://blog.wl0.org/2011/05/thoughts-about-extlookup-in-puppet/ Comments on the web seem to indicate that extlookup() solves "all problems" but I don''t really see that and hence have proposed a possible way to keep the data closer together and make the extlookup()

Hi list, Reading the thread "can a class require an other class?" it''s been mentioned that perhaps one way forward for the Puppet language is to phase out the include keyword in favour of parametrised classes. I''m thinking of my Puppet and the several levels of include chaining I use and I''m wondering how on earth that''d be possible. Maybe

I''ve been trying to find information, suggestions, etc. for how to combine scaling Puppet with the use of management tools like Dashboard/Foreman and MCollective. Our current thinking for an initial deployment is two VMs as Puppet Master worker nodes fronted by a pair of NetScalers. However, I''m not sure how to go about implementing Dashboard or Foreman and MCollective servers in
