Hi, Can I execute a command basis on some criteria in puppet. For example, I would want to execute the following command svn up; /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl restart only if "revision number of file on host = revision number of file on svn" i.e. "/usr/bin/svn info /usr/local/apache/conf/Web_Config/httpd.conf | grep Revision| cut -d: -f2| sed -e''s/

Hi all I searched around and found there used to be an IP alias type in puppet, but it was dropped because it only really worked on Redhat-type OSes. I only need it on Redhat, :) [ mainly for apache SSL vhosts]; does anyone know where the code went? I''d settle for a definition/template based solution; think I have a good feel for what it should look like. Does anyone use anything they

Hi gang, Is it possible to test if a particular resource has already been defined? I''d like to do something like this: if !Host["$fqdn"] { host {"$fqdn": ip => "$ipaddress_eth0" } } Essentially, test to see if there is no Host resource defined for the current server and if not, add a host entry for itself using the IP address of eth0. Possible?

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 all We''ve just released version 0.3.4 of the puppet-module tool used to create and retrieve modules from the Puppet Labs Forge (http://forge.puppetlabs.com). You can update using Ruby gems: $ gem install puppet-module There are several important changes in this release: * Add ability to install modules with hyphens * Add check for symlink when installing * Install modules to their

We want to use Nagios to monitor out puppet server so we can be notified if it goes down. We are using Fusion Passenger and Apache on Red Hat. Any suggestion for what and how to monitor? -- Thanks, Allan Marcus 505-667-5666 Allan@lanl.gov -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

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

Hello I often configure a new node that I want to be the same as an existing one. However I''d like to run puppetd with --noop just the once to double check the changes (I''m still responsible for them after all) Trouble is on a new node the keys etc aren''t there and running as noop they don''t get made and I get nowhere. Unless someone knows a different way to

After an unexpected and unreasonably long hiatus, I''ve finally returned to implementing Puppet in my environment. My puppetmaster: Puppet 0.25.4, Facter 1.5.7, Ruby 1.8.7, and FreeBSD 8.0. I''ve got five clients using the puppetmaster so far. After about 24 hours, I''ve got three puppetmaster processes running. This number continues to grow over time. If stored configs

...w us dumb Americans to grok what it says (d/m/y -> m/d/y) - activity timeline is more verbose (instead of saying "Node updated" it says what node was updated, etc.) - show number of reports for a node in the node''s report table header Anyway, my fork is at http://github.com/ohlol/puppet-dashboard -scott -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Hoping you guys might be able to help me out, I''m not sure what''s wrong but puppet agent hangs for over a minute, no resource spikes (CPU, memory, etc all stay basically the same as without starting puppet, barely a blip, and I''ve got more than enough headroom). It''s not a serious issue for continuous usage, but really, really annoying when testing the manifests

All, I have --confdir=/etc/puppet/common in my /etc/init.d/puppetmaster and /etc/init.d/puppet files, vardir set to /var/lib/puppet in /etc/puppet/common/puppet.conf, and yet, every time I run puppetca it creates /etc/puppet/ssl. Anyone know why? Doug. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group. To post to this group, send email

Hello, I''m newbie for puppet. I would appreciate someone tells me how to use "shedule". What I want to do is puppet client( puppetd ) tries to syncronize /etc/ hosts permission as 644, and puppetd tries to check every 3 minutes. ( I know 3 min is so quick, this is just a test of "schedule") So I wrote manifests/site.pp, > node default { > schedule {

Hi I have just put puppet onto a new Ubuntu install and it ran a couple of times but now I get Execution of ''/etc/puppet/etckeeper-commit-pre'' returned 1: whenever puppetd runs. Grepping on etckeeper-commit turns up lots of posts to ubuntu and debian forums about changes made in February. Does anyone know what the story is? I''ve ended up with a screwed pam

Hey folks - I''m running into some weirdness getting ssh keys realized properly. The manifest I''m working with is here: http://www.pastie.org/1744771 . I''m using 2.6.3 epel repo on a Centos 5.5 box . The expected behaviour is to have the user created and their public key put in their authorized_keys as well as the studio_app user''s authorized_keys. What ends

Hello, I''m trying to add an environment variable as fact like this : #export $FACTER_test="infof" #facter | grep test test => infof But my fact don''t synchronize with puppet master. I don''t see it in / var/puppet/yaml/clientfile.yaml If I want this works, I''ve need to start puppet like this : #puppetd -vt --factsync but factsync''s

Hi all! I have quation: how i may use nested variables/facts? For example, I have variable $iface. It''s variable declared in node brakets, and, use with defenition. iface may be eth0, eth1(Linux), em0, ... <freebsd>, ... is fact: facter | grep eth0 | grep mac macaddress_eth0 => 54:52:00:3D:CB:40 We don''nt know name of $iface in our module (to generate network

Just one more email and I''ll let you go for a few hours :) One of the things I like to see in apps is that they are immediately intuitive and easy to use for new users. I think Puppet is really good here, but there''s opportunity to make everything better. We want everyone to love Puppet from their first few minutes using it, all the way through to datacenter nirvana.

Hello, I have succesfully installed puppet on ubunu, one master and one client. I am going through the documentation and I am having a hard time getting this example to work http://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/manifests.html $ puppet apply my_test_manifest.pp I get this error root@puppet:/etc/puppet/manifests# pwd /etc/puppet/manifests root@puppet:/etc/puppet/manifests# puppet apply

Hi - I''ve searched around and haven''t found anyone who''s implemented a type+provider for configuring network interfaces in puppet. Does anyone have such a thing already running that''s just not on forge / github? I found some prior art (aside from the old ''interface'' type which was deleted in 0.24) but most people seem to use definitions +
