My scenario is this: I have 4 environments, Dev, Test, QA, Prod. Each of these environments lives in 2 sites, LA and NY. I have 5 applications that are site and

Hi Guys, I''m reading about dashboard and foreman, and I''m wondering if there is anyone who made a comparison of the two? Can anyone help me decide which one to use? It feels like foreman is ''ahead'' for now? cheers, Walter Heck Engineer @ OlinData (http://olindata.com) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet

This is one of the s/w-tag files, gets created/modified automatically by the software installation job and then I want to overwrite the tag files on two other agents with this one. Is there a why for doing this? Cheers, San -- You received this message because

I´m trying to utilize the new stdlib module, but got stuck after installation on my puppet server. I´ve tried to use the included test file file_line.pp on the server, but it´s only creating the file - but not managing the content. the same problem on my clients (the new provider file_line has been synced), it´s just not working: file_line { ''puppet master host

Hello puppet masters, I am cleaning up some puppet modules, using puppet-lint. The warning I am getting is: top-scope variable being used without an explicit namespace I can turn this particular check off, but in doing my research I''m finding all sorts of messages saying to avoid using +=, to avoid using variables in the node scope, and to switch to a parameterized class whenever

I''ve been thinking a lot about running mcollective on my production servers recently, especially about its nice integration with puppet (using facts and so on). However I''ve got some concern about its scalability - how publish/subscribe middleware scales in terms of speed and flooding the network. I run about 2000 servers. Has anyone got any experience running mcollective on

Hello, We''re trying to come up with a nice way to indicate when a Puppet module like cloud provisioner breaks a Puppet subcommand because of missing dependencies. When this happens in the current 3.0rc branch, all help for all subcommands is unavailable. This isn''t very helpful. We''re planning to simply mark the subcommands that have incomplete actions as

We have successfully installed puppet on a CentOS Server, but I am battling with a deployment. It has to do with grid software. The repository gets created, then begins installation. The problem is that it just hangs - no errors, no network activity. I can see puppet is running, but nothing it being updated.

I tried putting the above command in a script, followed by a wait command, but that
