I am working on building a facter tag based node classifier similar to https://github.com/jordansissel/puppet-examples/tree/master/nodeless-puppet/. However, I have run into an issue where I cannot use puppet''s require file ability to push the yaml file containing the facts file to the client because it would require two runs of puppet to pickup changes. Consequently, I have written into

Hi all, I''m looking for background information about how bug #7127[1] should be fixed: prerun_command don''t stop puppet on error I think there''s general agreement that if the prerun command fails, then the catalog should not be applied, but the report should be sent, and the report''s status should be "failed". However, what about the post-run

Is there a way to get a list of all the classes available from the puppet master? I have 2 goals for this - one is documentation in a human readable form, and the other is potentially importing that data into dashboard. I did find some info on the rest API (http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/rest_api.html#resource-types ) but I can''t make any sense of the output from it. Thanks.

Hi Experts, I remember we had this discussion before, but could find it. Can I run a command to generate a "Compiled catalog" for a specific node (on the master node)? And apply this on the client node? What are the limitations for doing this? Basically we have special handling for the webserver/CA part of puppet. Thank you very much! -Yushu

I''ve been messing around with Puppet on a VM on my personal desktop. It looks descent. I was wondering what kind of load this thing would have managing about 400 nodes.

Hi all, I am using puppet with an ENC script. In this scripts YAML output the environment (generally "production") is set. For testing purposes I would like to start puppet runs from the cmdline of a managed host like: $ puppet agent --onetime --no-daemonize --verbose --no-splay --environment development The problem is the --environment Parameter is not being used if an environment

...k. How would people feel about at least splitting out these into their own types? * symlinks * recursive file copies The intersection of files and directories isn''t that big a deal, but we could split out directories too if we wanted.

Hi all, As I understand it, storeconfigs needs to be enabled on both the agent and the master to function ideally. I have a couple of questions: -> Can the various agents and the master safely share the same storeconfigs db (say, a postgresql server)? Is there any benefit to setting things up this way? -> Is there any benefit for an _agent_ to use an RDBMS vs sqlite for its

Hello, I have 680 hosts reporting into a central puppet server. Yesterday I made a change to site.pp and the nodes/foo.pp and nodes/ bar.pp files to push out some new files (a script to enable LDAP) and it seems that only a handful of stores have downloaded the file and run the script. (I don''t have reporting setup yet other than on a few clients which I did manually) If I ssh into a

Hi, Why doesn''t puppet resource group tell me who belongs to the group? Given the group such as: mg_team:x:501:smruph, cosman, msmith, mhankey With the command: puppet resource group mg_team only returns: group { ''mg_team'': gid => ''501'', ensure => ''present'' } I was expecting: group { ''mg_team'':

Hello! I have question about Debian package management with puppet. I''m wondering is there sane way to make puppet respects packages pinning? i.e., if I have several repos for one package, let''s say it is "nginx" which can be found in lenny & lenny-backports repos. I''ve created pinning file like: Package: nginx Pin: release a=lenny-backports Pin-Priority:

Can anyone comment / expand upon http://www.nico.schottelius.org/blog/puppet-sometimes-loads-a-class/ I am experiencing a case which may be related. We have an ENC, and recently on our twice daily noop runs from cron, puppet has reported some servers aren''t in sync because they do not have a certain module/class (dns_server) even though they are not subscribed to the dns_server module in

http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7612 The exported resources syntax: @@user { luke: ensure => present } Is concise and powerful, but very difficult to read. We should consider word-based syntax, e.g.: export @user { luke: ensure => present } And taking into account #7605, perhaps: export virtual user { luke: ensure => present } Please comment on the ticket or reply
