Folks: I''ve started to play around with the comprehensive integrated module set from example42 (http://www.example42.com/). Following the instructions, I set up one node as a nagios server, with ''include nagios''. I set up another node to be monitored via nagios, with ''include nagios::target". I set $monitor=true for the base node, which is inherited by both t...

Hi All, I have puppet server and client ready. I found JBOSS module and manifests under https://github.com/example42/puppet-jboss/<https://github.com/example42/puppet-jboss/blob/master/manifests/init.pp> and imported it through git.

...from a code point of view but from a design/layout point of view. We wrote our modules for 2.6.x like every beginner would have done: write everything in init.pp. But now, the fashion is to use parameterized classes and Hiera which we will use with puppet 2.7.x. I mainly followed/watched what Example42 was doing. They were using $classname::{install|remove|disable|blah} to actually call an action in their old modules. It was almost a sub class ($subclass.pp) per action. It was easy to read and possibly to maintain. But now Alessandro from Example42 seems to put everything back in init.pp wit...

Hi, I''m building a staging environement and I would like it to be able to redeploy automatically, after each commit - or every hour, some applications. Those applications are right now deployed and set up by puppet. I wonder if I should use puppet to redeploy those applications after each commit, and if I should how trigger, on the puppet, a full redeployement of the application ? --

...39;'ve been looking into the params pattern for writing modules, ie. having a params.pp file that init.pp inherits from as a place to use custom logic to set variables, and it seems very useful. I do have one question that I''m hoping someone can answer. If, for example, I look at an example42 module, everything is in params.pp. On the other hand, looking at, say, puppetlabs modules, there''s some mixing, with the case statements determining variable contents living in params.pp, but with straightforward string and boolean values stored between params.pp and the argument list...

What is the resource for example42''s yum module on a Fedora release 8 (Werewolf) machine? example42 came with a CentOS5 directory under modules/yum/files; what is that? Do I need to build that for the other OS platforms I will be supporting? Can I download a prebuilt that? What is that called so I can search for it? Th...

Hi All, In the example42 modules, I noticed the following is done: # Calculate OS version (without using lsb facts) $ossplit=split($operatingsystemrelease, ''[.]'') $osver=$ossplit[0] I''ve been using $lsbmajdistrelease in all my configs. Is there any particular reason why I might want to...

...p://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3790 but in the meantime I wonder if someone has managed to find a way to obtain the same result with some script. It shouldn''t be difficult. I tried, with a script using curl and storing cookies but it simply doesn''t work: https://github.com/example42/Example42-tools/blob/master/publish_forge.sh Anyone smarter than me can help me in fixing the script or showing a working alternative?

Hello fellow community members! I just joined you in order to find an information about how to start using Puppet... Currently we use cfengine for our legacy system containing several OS platforms, including physical and virtual servers. For fresh new hardware and OS versions we decided to go with Puppet due to it''s growing popularity (wow, 4082 members of this group only!).

...) we have to docter our puppet.conf management method to accomodate some additional options which really ought to be managed within an enhancement specific class. This makes it especially hard to make use of puppet forge modules. For example, it is not possible to combine puppetlabs/puppetdb with example42/puppet without major revisions. puppetlabs uses inifile. example42 uses template. But why so many methods? Why is there not a single recommended best practice method for managing puppet.conf? ANSWER: Because puppet.conf lacks an include statement. imagine: # puppet.conf [main] logdir =...

Hi all, The last 2 weeks we have been having problems with puppetd just randomly stopping.

In a bunch of my templates and manifests, I need to have logic which depends on whether or not a particular (other) puppet class is going to be installed on the machine. For example, for setting up the proper nagios monitors, you''d want to say something like "if this machine has the apache class, then configure apache monitoring" It''s not feasible I think to put this

I''m new to puppet and working my way through the documentation. I''m struggling with the puppet labs module repo. I''ve toyed with numerous automation and configuration methodologies over the decades. Perhaps I''m seeing puppet wrong, Compared with CFEngine there is a a lot I like, but I''m not sure why I''m still having to re-invent the

I currently manage approximately 150 hosts with a handful of ZLM policies, but I''ve had one too many policies lost by the management server to keep using this solution. I''m wondering if anyone has any experiences (good or bad) they''d be willing to share specific to using Puppet with SLES (9 and 10). What experiences have you had with package management tools? Would

Hey all, I''ve open-sources Digg''s apache module: http://github.com/plathrop/puppet-module-apache I know this isn''t much more advanced than what I''ve seen a lot of people using. Here''s my proposition, though. Let''s get all the disparate "apache" modules out there merged together into One Awesome Module. What do you think? One module

Hi, I am working on some tools that read and write pp files, and I wonder if there are some pp files available somewhere that can be used to test a parser. I am especially interested in if there are some tests written that capture invalid syntax. - henrik -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
