I''m trying to upgrade from 2.6.7 to to 2.7.6 and I''m running into an issue in my extlookup() calls. A lot of the variables which should be defined aren''t defined within extlookup.rb. I''ve tested 2.6.7 agent and 2.7.5 agent against the 2.6.7 master and 2.7.6 master. I adjusted extlookup.rb slightly to provide some debug output. http://pastie.org/private/jsmyxrfhggcvf...

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() behaviour more explicit and thus IMO clearer. What do you think?...

Hmmm.... So I was just trying the extlookup function that comes with puppet 2.6.1. It now lets you do this: $version = extlookup("rsyslog_version", "present", "packages") which, according to the documentation: # This will look for a version configured in packages.csv and then in the rest as configured # by $e...

Hi, I''m having a problem with extlookup not respecting the ''certname'' parameter[1].  When executing a puppet run with either the --certname or --fqdn parameters, it ends up using the specified SSL certificate and gets the correct node definition applied from the puppetmaster.  However, it still retrieves extlookup data...

Anyone able to explain why "$fqdn" works and "$environment" doesn''t in: $extlookup_precedence=["%{fqdn}","%{environment}","common"] How to reproduce it: ----------------------------- - In "/etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp" : $extlookup_datadir = "/etc/puppet/manifests/extdata" $extlookup_precedence=["%{fqdn}","%{envi...

I''m new to Puppet, and I''m a software developer, not a sysadmin, so be gentle. I have puppet managing some files via templates, and one of the template variables that needs to be plugged in is a password of sorts that shouldn''t be generally available. In particular, it can''t be stored in the manifest, as that''s stored in version control, and the

This checks the $datadir/*.csv files # CSV files return region, hostgroup and site # Puppet then uses this info to query hiera about the host node default { $region = extlookup( "region" ) $hostgroup = extlookup( "hostgroup" ) $site = extloo...

Is there a way I can split a line in a manifest across multiple lines, ala shell style? ie: $include_postfix_module = extlookup("IncludePostfixModule", \ extlookup("IncludePostfixModule", \ extlookup("IncludePostfixModule", \ "", "settings/nodes/_global"), \...

I''m confused about this... https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-stdlib/ I see a lot of functions there that are the same as the ones that come standard with puppet. If I create a module and dump this stuff in there, what happens to the existing stuff? How does puppet know which one to use?

Hi all I have been pondering this for a while, but not yet seen a clean way to do it I have a few puppet classes (apache/ntp/mysql/bacula/nagios/etc) I would like to generate part of my bacula and nagios configs for each host based on which other classes that host belongs to (or to put it another way, I would like to export variables from classes which would be used by my bacula and nagios

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

Is there a way to use send multiple parameter values using puppet dashboard ENC? For example, nameserver = 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2 or perhaps nameserver = [''10.0.0.1'',''10.0.0.2''} then the template erb file can loop through each of the nameserver values to set up mulitple nameservers in resolve.conf? Thanks - Oli -- You received this message because you are

Hi, We currently use ldap ENC to set server role variables and extlookup to set domain or environment variables. I have a suggestion regarding ldap use as an ENC - if a node within ldap has the environment attribute set then it should inherit/mixin (if available) from a node named after it''s environment. It could be populated with only puppetVar type attribut...

I''ve got this: file { ''/opt/sugarsync/tomcat/tomcat-home/current'': ensure => "tomcat-$config[''tomcat_version_server'']"; where $config[''tomcat_version_server''] was set with extlookup (the yaml one), by loading: --- tomcat_config: tomcat_version_server: 6.0.20-1 tomcat_version_libs: 1.0-1 Inside those double quotes, where variable interpolation is supposed to occur, I''m actually getting: tomcat-tomcat_version_libs1.0-1tomcat_version_server6.0.20-1[''tomca...

...few (2 ... max 3) ''Environments'' in Puppet to handle whether our systems are getting the Production release, or the Testing release of code. Ok... here''s the two issues we need to solve: #1: Our main "Puppet Repo" contains all of our base classes, site.pp, extlookup tables, etc. This repo also contains our private code ... private keys, operations-owned bits of data that shouldn''t be exposed to the rest of our engineers. We want to break this into a "Production" and a "Testing" environment on our Puppet servers themselves. I'...

I''ve been struggling with puppet variable scope all day, well, for several months actually. I think I have pretty simple requirements. For any given node, I want to be able to set a series of variables and include a set of classes, based on three different aspects of a node, being physical location, operating system, and function. If I try and do this with classes, I find that variables

Hi All, Just to share something small, I''ve adjusted rip excellent extlookup function to be able to search for csv files also inside of modules. You can store your data files inside your modules directly, and it is also possible to lookup in different modules. for example - if you have a common module and a location module, the variables defaults can be stored in the commo...
