hello, Till now hiera-puppet was the only way I know that allowed hiera data to be loaded from inside a module. The problem with this was that it was still subject to the site specific hierarchy which means a module author had a pretty hard time to store his data in a proper way in his module thus perpetuating the use of the params classes pattern. Now that Puppet 3 is out and it''s gem

Greetings I''m searching for an elegant way to contribute lines to an SNMP configuration file from resources scattered throughout a given system''s catalog, such that from anywhere, the SNMP configuration file can be arbitrarily extended like this: $snmp::lines += "proxy -m ${mib_file} -v 2c -c ${snmp_community} localhost:1161 .1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.145" Forgive me if

Howdy, Before I go about writing one myself, anyone out there written a software inventory module/fact for gathering a list of all installed rpms/debs on a system? Got a few ideas floating around in my head, but wanted to see if/what other folks have done .. -- I''ve seen things you people wouldn''t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.

Hi, How can i divide my puppet.conf file in multiple files ? I would like to have the [main] and [agent] section in puppet.conf and [master] in puppetmaster.conf for example.

Hi all, first post here... reposting this from Stack Overflow as it didn''t get much traction there... I am using puppet to read a fact from facter, and based on that I apply a different configuration to my modules. Problem: the puppet agent isn''t seeing this fact. Running puppet agent --test interactively works as expected. Even running it non-interactively from a script

Greetings, I''m trying to wrap my head around a solution to a problem I''m facing with an exported resources configuration I have. I''m using the following simple config to build a munin configuration: @@file { "/etc/munin/munin.conf.d/${::fqdn}.node": content => "[All Hosts;${::fqdn}] address ${ipaddress_eth0} use_node_name yes\n\n", tag

Hello All, I''m reviewing switching to puppet from chef and am trying to identify how to port the various features. I have hit a stumbling block searching for nodes. In Chef i could search for a node by role, but I am lost as how to do this with puppet and classes. Example: I want my load-balancing node to look for all application server nodes and grab their ip address (and hostname

I want to manage cronjobs as a " file " in solaris through puppet and not using the puppet cron resource. I will be managing the file /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root.

I am experiencing a curious event, and wondering if others have seen this... As well, I have a question related to it. Today, I noticed my puppet summary report from Foreman this morning, that 60 of my 160 hosts all stopped reporting at nearly the exact same time, and have not since restarted. Investigating, it appears that my puppetmaster temporarily ran out of disk space on the /var

Hi everyone, I run MCollective 1.2.1 together with ActiveMQ 5.5 under Scientific Linux 6.1 on Amazon EC2. Overall it works like a charm, but sometimes (eg. 1/30) discovery fails. Still the exit-code of mco will be 0, which is a problem for me as I use MCollective e.g. to trigger deployments from Jenkins. I would like to ask for some feedback on the following ideas, that could fix this problem.

Hello, I''m running Puppet agent stand-alone on Windows. I got data-in-modules working. However, no matter what I put into the module hiera.yaml, I can only override the defaults from common.yaml by osfamily (and not, e.g., by environment). In the setup below the following command outputs: >puppet apply --binder -e "notice lookup (''my_key'')"

Hi, For the past week, I have been trying to figure out the best way to do package management with Puppet on an Ubuntu system. I have studied many solutons I found on the web, but none of them seem to do exactly what I want. Among other things, I have tried everything that is discussed here: http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/browse_thread/thread/af7349171a5821a4/db96b809c97f6006 but
