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

Most of my machines are pretty cookie-cutter, so I have one class and config file setup for different services. For example, pretty much have one hosts.allow that goes out everywhere. However, there are always exceptions. So I have 3 hosts that have similar configs but have more things open, so what''s the ''best practice'' way to centralize those? Do I really need to

Group - I''m putting a presentation together for $work (a large .gov) and I want to make sure I get my facts (pun intended) straight ...

The client contacts the server and downloads any custom facts it does not

Hi everyone, Just wanted to tell you a little story. We''ve been enthusiastic puppet users since about a year ago here at the Geographic Institute of the University of Zürich. But we won''t use the zpool type ever again. Its just not worth it. Here''s what happened: . one of our servers lost knowledge about one of its zfs pools . puppet didn''t find the pool

Hello All, I''m new to puppet, and I''d like to know: Is there a formal best practices guide for syncing { /etc/passwd, shadow, group, hosts} across clients from the master? For instance; is it a better practice to make a hard link to these files and share the link, as opposed to just sharing the files directly via a target in fileserver.conf? Inquiring minds want to know...

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hello, I read and find a way (well, there seems to be several equal implementations) to collect the ssh keys of machines. However they all give only the choice to choose between the key formats. But is there a way to collect both keys of a machine, the rsa _and_ the dss key (and maybe the rsa1 too)? I didn''t find a way to solve this as

Hello, As I''ve been building up my puppet infrastructure, I''ve started using puppet certs for all of my services that require ssl. Usually this is in the form of links: file { "/opt/syslog-ng/etc/ca.d/b2457b50.0": require => Package["syslog-ng"], ensure => link, target =>

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
